We have been here many times and I think this is the best place for craft beer.

Fantastic local spot! Good beer & good people.

Been drinking Idle Hands beers since they were in the original Everett location (I think it was a slasher movie film set). Quite simply, the best beers you can get unless you leave the continent and head east, and they’d give the European breweries a run for their money too. Top notch!

Idle hands was so accommodating and went above and beyond for my husbands retirement party! I highly recommend stopping in, you will not be disappointed! Thank you!

This has become my hands-down favorite local brewery. The beer is always excellent, and the brewery focuses on styles you can't find many other places, namely interesting lagers. The staff at the bar is fantastic, and we've taken advantage of numerous fun events.

Another superb local craft brewery just outside of Boston.
An industrial-chic space is enlivened with murals, giving a welcoming feeling. They have a selection of beers that could suit any palate. Among their merchandise is a cooler with cans that can be purchased to-go. A seasonal patio is located out front, and it's dog-friendly. There are metal water bowls that can be filled for furry friends as pet parents enjoy their drinks.
This location has parking available for patrons, making it easily accessible. While there are some snacks available for purchase, a local food vendor set up tables as we were leaving, so there's probably a rotation of visiting food vendors.
I highly recommend Idle Hands when looking for another terrific craft brewery to visit in Eastern Massachusetts.

One of the best breweries in Malden. They make great German and Belgian style beers here. The Four Seam IPA is good as well.

Idle Hands beer is great and the vibe at their brewery is too. I especially love it when they’re hosting a local food vendor. I appreciate all they do for our community, including hosting a pickup for Crimson and Clover Farm CSA.

Good food, good beer, good times.

3rd brewery of the night before the party and I settled for the Friday Decisions Bitter (on a Friday, too). The bartender was really cool in explaining what the beer can machine does and the nuances of laws surrounded beer. We also liked that there was card games for us to play while we drink. The bitter, was well, bitter. But it was also pretty smooth and I eventually gulped the last few ounces.
