Parking is limited. Beer is acceptable. Food is BYO. Views are spectacular.

Delicious beer and awesome place for an event! We hosted a baby shower here, were able to bring our own food (because kitchen closed off season), and enjoyed all the awesome drink options the brewery had. Great views of the Marsh and just an overall great environment for our event. Highly recommend this spot for an event!

Great experience at Great Marsh Brewing Company! I recently held a party here, and Jon Collins was amazing in communications and coordination. The staff were so friendly, and the space was gorgeous—a direct view of the Marsh! Highly recommended.

Great beer, beautiful views of the marsh, selection of wines and other drinks as well, very friendly staff

This place used to be great - excellent food and great service. Not sure what's happened, but it's a sad shell of its former self. We had to serve ourselves - order at the bar and carry out drinks to our table, which I wouldn't mind if the food was decent, which it is not. We literally could not eat the chicken wings (tough as leather) nor the tacos. The place was empty, which should have been our tip off. Beer is, of course, very good. But don't go for anything other than a barstool and fresh local beer. And a cavernous hall of sad empty tables.

Ordered a flight and shared a pretzel. Took a four-pack of the Juiced Newton home.

Awesome brewery! Extremely knowledgeable staff! Really nice location on the marsh! Went at the start of October so I was on an Oktoberfest tip. N ohhh boy they are hands down the best one I found in all of the New England area! The IPA was good too, but the Oktoberfest was incredible!

Lunch last Saturday featured hamburgers ordered medium rare and came well done on stale dried out buns They should stick to beer and forget food. Unless it improves.

The hostess/manager was very rude. It’s too bad because the brewery has a nice vibe and some pretty good beer. The way she treats customers makes me not want to come back.

Great service (with good humor!) even during busy shifts. Love the variety of beers on tap, and the different places to sit and enjoy!

These 5 stars are for the general manager Dave! If management reads this you are lucky to have him! He deserves a raise... it's worth the trip just to see Dave.Thank You Dave for lightening on labor day family travels!

Menu says the beer is served in pints. The glass looked like a 10 oz tulip. Don’t trust the menu. It was explained that the beer I chose could not be served as a pint. I don’t care, but advertise the reality. The only reason it was not one star was because the view was nice.

The brewery itself is huge, with gorgeous views of the marsh on either side. The four beers I had in my flight were all excellent. I will be back.Note to breweries in general, including this one: when you sell cans to go, you really should allow your customers to buy mix-packs. You will get more per can, and we will get what we want.

This was my first time here and I had a good experience overall. We were seated right away which after a long day at the beach was much needed. The service was very friendly and helpful. It is a very large building with an amazing view of the Marsh. They were out of what I first wanted to order but I got the Steak Tips instead which I was not disappointed by. Gluten Free: A brewery is not the first place you think of when looking for gluten free options. However, I was pleasantly surprised. They had an alright amount of options and everything was marked on the menu.

I wish that I could less than one star. Manager canceled the food order of half the party and the whole patio. Did not even offer to comp any drinks. Said they should not have taken the food orders. Such bad service. Go elsewhere please.
