22 Best Craft Breweries near Braintree

“Widowmaker always has a solid selection, with that comes an amazing seasonal rotation and a few surprises mixed in. I prefer IPAs and Sours and Widowmaker does not disappoint. Dogs are encouraged!“

“Love coming here to see the amazing bartenders. It is a great bar where "everybody knows your name". The pizza is on the top 3 list of best bar pizza places in the area.“

“Attended a class pop event here today and it was fabulous. Beer Selection was awesome.“

“First visit, so we got two of their specialty flights, each containing four small pours of their local beer, chosen especially for summer time. One flight was IPA focused, and had a range of moderate hoppiness, along with one juicy, in-your-face over hopped wonders. The other flight featured a delicious raspberry sour beer, plus an addictive "brewtini" beer cocktail. Service was so friendly and welcoming, and I liked their outdoor beer garden. We brought lunch from a neighborhood restaurant.“

“Great vibe. Always. #Brockton“

“Excelente experiencia! Recomendado!“

“Definitely worth checking out if you’re at Marina Bay or in the area. Aside from being a prime location, this is one of the only places in Boston that is dog friendly! You can bring your own food, order from the shops nearby or support vendors at BRB. Their tap list rotates often so there is always something new to try. Additionally, they always have different events going on and varying vendors at the brewery. The vibes here are unmatched, especially for the area ( Q can be a bit sleepy). We need more places like BRB in Quincy.“

“Excellent beer and food menu items. A great place for live music and hanging out with friends!“

“We had a wonderful time at Barrell Z House this past Saturday. Our bartender, dressed in Germany garb for Oktoberfest, was so friendly and helpful. We had our little dog Ella with us and was made to feel welcome. Our bartender even brought us a fresh bowl of water for her. We got some delicious sirloin sliders for us and doggie biscuits with PB for Ella from the food truck. My husband and I enjoyed the IPA. We tasted two different types, one more fruity and aroma, the other more hoppy. We’re hop heads and both agreed that the more hoppy one was our fav! They have a nice, shady outdoor area with Adirondack chairs, a great space to soak up the beer and sunshine these early fall days.“

“Visited on 4/15/25 around 2:30 PM. The staff working this day were very friendly and patient as we figured out what beer we wanted to try. They offer half pours which allowed us to try multiple varieties and the quality was very good. The brewery had 80's and 90's music playing at a comfortable volume which we enjoyed. Seating inside the taproom was basic picnic tables as we've seen in other breweries. On this day, there weren't a lot of customers so it was somewhat quiet.“

“Good beer, good times and good friends“

“We have held three different events here with a huge success. Dana and his staff were awesome and very accommodating. Great bears, great cocktails, and great people.“

“If you haven’t been to Castle Island Brewery yet, you’re missing out on one of the best spots in Boston. From their friendly staff and rotating local pop-ups to live music and unbeatable weekend energy, it’s always a good time. Add in their award-winning brews and Bardo’s delicious food menu, and you’ve got a go-to destination for your next visit to Southie“

“I went there for an event my group was hosting and it was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Great beer. It was a great space for a get together.“

“very clean fun atmosphere“

“Great beer and outdoor space“

“Visited this location for the first time yesterday before a show at MGM! I go to the Waltham location quite often. Mike, Dre, and John were great at the bar. I'll make sure to stop in before the shows I'm going to rest of this year! A+“

“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 !“

“Casual venue for drinks. Was quiet in a snowy Saturday. Large selection of beers and one cocktail in a can. Some diversions for kids (basketball, some board games). Large slice of tasteless pizza. No parking (altho it was so quiet that we grabbed an employee parking spot).“

“Good beer selection and good food as well.“

“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!“
