12 Best Craft Breweries near Danvers

“A fantastic family friendly brewery that is truly owner operated, and always a delight. Twisted Fate has been my go-to brewery for the past two years, serving up a variety of fantastic beers.“

“Stopped in this past Saturday, on a trip up from Florida. Watched the dog training class for a bit and their welcome inside, and sampled a couple of the "offerings". Great brews! As a former home brewer, brought back a couple memories (Porter and IPA). And the bartender was GREAT!! 🙂“

“For the last brewery on this North Shore, Massachusetts trip I found myself at Granite Coast Brewing Company in Peabody for a couple pints & some tasters. This is a New England brewery that doesn't focus much on IPA's, which is rare, but definitely a pleasant surprise in a world filled with haze. I had tried a handful of their beers in the wild in can & on draft before this visit so I had a idea of what to expect, but there is obviously nothing better than getting it from the tit. The brewery started as a hobby in 2012 between friends Rob & Jeff, who spent years developing their recipes before opening the taproom in Peabody, MA in 2019. There are some fun traditional styles here including a German Steam beer, Helles, Scotch Ale/Wee, Kolsch, Belgian tripel & more. 🍻🍻🔥☘

I started off with a pint of the GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN: MUNICH HELLES LAGER, it was a excellent lager filled with a good mix of malt & bready flavor. My second pour was a 13oz pour of the FABLES SERIES: DOUBLE MIMI NEW ENGLAND IPA, a good above average hazy double for sure. My third beer was a taster of the BELGIAN TRIPEL which was a delicious solid Belgian that was super drinkable for the 8.3%ABV. My last pour was a taster of the PEANUT BUTTER STOUT, this was a awesome peanut butter stout that I would have loved to get a full pour of had I known how good it was. 🍺🏆🔥☘🍻

All the seating options here including plenty of tables, a few hightops & some bar seating. They had a small food menu that consisted mostly of local candy, but at 42 years old the beer has enough sugar for me as is. There was plenty of beer to go for home or tastings with friends later. Overall a excellent visit & a great cap to a three brewery North Shore, MA trip that included Coastal Mass Brewing & Old Planters Brewing Co as well. Cheers! 🍻🔥☘🏆✌♥️🍺

“Great beer great people - stop by and have a pint“

“We walked into Notch after a long morning or walking around Salem. The Saturday crowds were too much! Notch is tucked away on the water and was busy but we didn’t wait long for food or beer and we found an indoor table no problem. It’s all counter service so we ordered and then were given a number. All of the food was delicious. The wurst platter was the standout. The bartender was able to give a solid recommendation when a beer I wanted was kicked. Highly recommend!“

“Lychee blueberry sour was DELICIOUS!!!! The bar tender Adam was really nice and gave us a lot of good recommendations in the area! Also have snuggle boards and dog merch! Daily events happening at the brewery! Fun cute vibes for our honeymoon!!!“

“We've been relying on the Ipswich Ale Tapmobile for years to bring delicious beer to our annual summer party, and they always deliver an outstanding experience!

This year, for our approximately 100 guests, we served three fantastic types of beer: Blueberry Shandy, American Lager, and RT 101 WC IPA. All three were a huge hit, and the quality of the beer is consistently wonderful – everyone always raves about the options.

Our bartender this year, Cheryl, was absolutely great. She was incredibly friendly, kind, and handled our lively crowd with ease. She was even kind enough to take photos of us upon request, so we could remember that wonderful day! We were also thrilled that our neighbors, who happened to own corny kegs, were able to take home the leftover beer, which was a fantastic bonus!

We highly recommend the Ipswich Ale Tapmobile to anyone looking to elevate their party with delicious craft beer and excellent service.“

“Perfect taste discovered this the other day“

“Tail Fin is seriously so good, on par with some of Treehouse’s IPAs for sure. And every other beer I’ve tried has also been great, they know what they’re doing here. The space inside is small and can get full/noisy, but it has a very friendly atmosphere!“

“The staff at Backbeat are awesome!half of them are brewers so they can answer any question. The pizza with hot honey is incredible!“

“Absolutely love em but it baffles me why there are no Cider or wine options... I'm glad they have a rotating seltzer but if it happens to not be a winner then I just literally won't bring my wife there... Far from the tree is right there“

“🎶 simply the best 🎶 amazing beer, atmosphere and people ~ no place like it 🥰“
