15 Best Craft Breweries in 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 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 is one of the busiest and amazing brewery. The beer collection is amazing specially the IPAs. They do have food and they had one of the best spicy wings in town for sure. It was filled with college kids and it took a while to find seating, but mostly you share table with others.“

“Excelente experiencia! Recomendado!“

“Good beer, good times and good friends“

“We had the Biria chicken tacos, ordered a 2nd round cuz they were so good! I had a strawberry margarita - was delicious. Vibe was great around 1100 after a concert at the House of Blues. Will def be back !“

“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!“

“Very well made beer, nice diversity in styles (NEIPA, sour, stout and even a couple N/As) Relaxing atmosphere.“

“Had such a great time this past weekend with my parents visiting in town and taking them to show how much we love the Harpoon experience. Wanted to give a special shout out to Edgar, who really made our experience top notch and memorable. Edgar is a top tier employee and made us feel right at home. Can't wait to go back!“

“Great beer and outdoor space“

“We recently held a small 60 person family/friends event in the Squirrel’s Den at Mighty Squirrel and couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.

The upstairs space felt separate enough for our group, but still connected to the rest of the brewery. The staff were helpful and attentive, and kept things running smoothly

We went with a breakfast spread, and the food was outstanding — fresh, well-prepared, and a real hit with everyone there.

They made the whole experience feel effortless on our end. Would absolutely recommend Mighty Squirrel to anyone looking for a welcoming and well-run space for their next event.“

“Loved the atmosphere,good food and great beer. Great service!“

“Good location! Good beer!“

“Best onion rings I’ve ever had. Convenient to Charles Theatre. Nice selection of their own brews. Fair pricing too! We will go again for sure!“

“Lots of fun it was a great time“
