13 Best Craft Breweries near Peabody

“What a great brewery! Finally one in the area that isn't all IPAs! Such a good selection! Jeff was really cool to talk with and gave us lots of info about the beers and what makes them so good. And the event schedule looks interesting too. Will definitely be coming back soon“

“Notch Brewery and Taproom in Salem is a must-visit for beer enthusiasts. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, perfect for hanging out with friends enjoying beers and playing games. The brewery offers mostly Czech and German style craft beers, each brewed with care and attention to detail. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, always willing to recommend a new brew or answer any questions. Plus, the spacious taproom provides ample seating, making it easy to find a spot even during busy times. Unfortunately the weather did not allow us to enjoy the outdoor seating. Keep in mind that they do not sell beer flights. Overall, Notch Brewery and Taproom is a fantastic spot to unwind and enjoy some great beer in Salem.“

“What a great brewery! I was looking for somewhere to play darts that's family friendly (what an oxymoron), and this is your best bet in the greater Boston area. The dart board is on the opposite end from most of the arcade games (though the basketball game nearby does make a good racket when in use) and there's very little competition for the sole dartboard even on a Sunday afternoon when the brewery is pretty busy. Plus, the dog friends you'll inevitably find from fellow customers are a perk :)“

“Had my wedding at True North recently - the whole process was wonderful! The events coordinator Tim was a complete pro - in the weeks leading up to our event he was there for all of our questions and needs. When it came to the day of, he made sure the event went off seamlessly and our guests had an amazing time. All of the vendors we worked with remarked at how amazing Tim and True North were to work with.Even a few weeks later when we needed his help he went out of his way to assist us on related item to the event. He didn't have to, but he was happy to do it. True North has an ace up their sleeve with Tim. Book your future events at the brewery!“

“Anytime I go to Gentile I am greeted with a smile, the beer is delicious & the owners know your name no matter how long it's been since you have stopped in. Great spot to go to for food trucks too! The outdoor area is cozy & inviting, as is the indoors.“

“Good selection of tasty beers. The four persons in my group each had a flight AND a glass of "I'm Going Bananas" so we got to try almost everything. Friendly staff (owners I think), clean restrooms, and live plants on the tables added to a positive experience.“

“My mom hosted my Bridal Shower in the private room at Night Shift Brewing's Everett Taproom and it was a dream come true!The space was recently renovated and looks amazing! Table/Couch configuration is customizable and Night Shift provided a few folding tables as well.My shower was in February and Valentines Day themed, I am *still* hearing from guests on how great the space was, how everyone enjoyed their drinks (& were so surprised Night Shift served more than just great beer!), and how wonderful Mike and the rest of the NSB team was!“

“This is the best brewery in Beverly! They have a wide variety of great beers on tap so there’s always something for everyone. The staff and owners are all super friendly and welcoming. They also host a wide variety of events (live music, trivia, food trucks, run club, etc.) that are always a good time. We love OP!“

“DELICIOUS beers, every single one I have tasted is out of this world. The taproom is inviting & they host many local business events, pop ups & have sports playing often. The staff is lovely & very knowledgeable & the brewers are outstanding at what they do.“

“Now, I normally do NOT like any IPA's but I was at the packie yesterday getting some lagers like the regular beer guy I am and someone who works for this company overheard me saying I hate IPA's and gave me that Sluice Juice IPA tall boy and I gotta say this is the first time I've ever enjoyed an IPA and the Lager you folks make is also very good. I didn't even touch my Sam Adams last night cause the fella gave me a few beers to try. I am now gonna buy the local brand from now on! I will still enjoy a Sammys but at the pub from now on, my fridge is gonna have Bent Water in it. #SupportLocal“

“Great beer and bites from the attached restaurant. Was visiting Salem for the day and decided to pop in here after seeing the reviews. The bartender was super nice and helpful when I couldn't decide. They also explained that the food and drinks are separate. After I ordered a beer I ordered some food at the next counter. I went with the Double IPA which was pretty good. For food we got skewers and the spring rolls. Both were so good!I'd come again whenever I'm in Salem.“

“Charming local brewery opposite the commuter rail, serving a healthy variety of casked beers and ales. Keep in mind that cask beers are naturally carbonated, and this can sometimes be perceived as flat by people who aren't used to drinking them. You're not going to get the sharp sting of carbonation on your first few sips, but it has a unique style all of its own. My own personal preference is that darker beers work better with the cask system but again that's just personal preference. Really loved the outside patio!“

“I usually only come here for dinner and I'm glad that I finally stopped for brunch. We stopped on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the following: Chicken and Waffles, Hangover Burger, Margherita Pizza, and Gluten free breakfast pizza. The chicken and waffles offer a great blend of sweet and salty with a large portion of chicken. The burger looked delicious and the pizzas were both amazing. I also ordered the Progression beer which was a tasty NEIPA. I love that they kept the decorations of the bank with the vault and the chandeliers. Especially cool how the vault can be used as a private dining room. The server was attentive and checked up on us often. Glad I was able to try this place for brunch. Hoping the White Bronco cans make a come back!“
