15 Best Craft Breweries in Boston

Trillium - Fort Point Brewery • $$
50 Thomson Pl, Boston

“Went to get lunch when we got to Boston. Was close by our hotel and I love craft beer so was excited to try something local. Split the burger for lunch which was excellent. Tried three different beers and enjoyed each one. They didn’t do flights but do offer small pours so it made it easy to try different brews.

Venue was nice as well and easy to get to in the Seaport area.“

Long Live Roxbury Brewery •
152 Hampden Street, Boston

“Long long long live overdue visit to the Best Brewery in Boston. All due respect to Sam Adams, Trill, and others these guys are masters of the IPA but don't go to sleep on Merry Dancer (dark lager) or the Frozie Cup Series. If you're hankering for light the Rox Pils and Kolsch are top tier! Beers to make you happy and a great space with parking. What else do you need in Boston?“

Castle Island Brewing - South Boston Brewery •
10 Old Colony Ave, Boston

“This place was fun!!!! I've been here twice now, I'm from out of town, and realized I hadn't reviewed it yet.
The outdoor patio is a bit small and can get crowded but it's a nice spot when the weather is cooperative. Inside seating is larger than it looks so walk around until you can find a spot. The beer is very good and there is a wide range of styles to choose from. The food is actually a good compliment to the beer given the weird, off the shelf system they use to make it. Highly recommend.“

Drawdown Brewing Brewery •
3204 Washington St, Boston

“This neighborhood gem is always worth a visit, but the reason I’m reviewing after years of regular visits is the welcoming, compassionate nature of owners Liz and Jen. Today, during a packed house viewing of a USWNT game, Liz made sure to welcome every customer and search for free seats for them. I overheard several parties comment on how kind they thought this was, AND how much they enjoyed their beers. I, of course, wholeheartedly agree! Please come support this small, woman-owned, LGBT-owned local business!“

Harpoon Brewery & Beer Hall Brewery • $
306 Northern Ave, Boston

“I recently stumbled upon Harpoon Brewery in the Boston Seaport, and what a hidden gem! 🍺

There are so many great things to love about Harpoon, but the BIGGEST bonus for me was the FREE customer parking! 🙌 In the Seaport, finding convenient parking can be a challenge, so having free customer parking makes visiting Harpoon that much better.

The brewery itself has an amazing event space that can be rented for private events, celebrations, and gatherings. They also offer Tours & Tastings, which is a great way to experience the brewery and learn more about their beers.

And, of course, the beer and food don’t disappoint! 🍻 They have a great selection of beers along with delicious food options, including pizza, gourmet cinnamon pretzel sticks, and plenty more. It’s the perfect place to meet up with friends, grab a cold beer, enjoy some food, or simply relax and take in the atmosphere.

If you’re looking for delicious beer, great food, a unique event venue, and FREE customer parking right in the Boston Seaport, I highly recommend checking out Harpoon Brewery!

Definitely a hidden gem worth discovering!“
