11 Best Craft Breweries near Franklin

“This place is great! I wouldn’t classify myself as a beer drinker, but I absolutely LOVE this brewery. They have a nice variety of bold flavors in their beers. I highly recommend trying the Mara beer. It’s my favorite! It’s also a really chill and laidback ambiance as well. I’ll be coming back for sure.“

“Farthest Star Sake is a novel and entirely gluten-free addition to New England's robust brewery scene. Sake isn't just for sushi! Come check out the fun and fresh varieties currently on rotation.“

“Incredible pizza: the crust is to die for.
Fantastic beer: really nice variety, decent number of IPAs for hop fans but lots and lots of other options for those of us who want malt. The beers on tap change frequently, which is great for repeat visits.
Terrifically dog-friendly: my pup gets a treat every time we come in and loves to hang out in the outdoor seating area (although dogs are also allowed inside!)
Super friendly: the staff have always been a delight.
All in all, a perfect spot to spend an afternoon.“
