27 Best Craft Breweries near Quincy

“Decent variety of beers and all very well made. Tons of chill events too.The thing that keeps bringing me back though- the staff. They have a good feel for the room. They're willing to chat or let you be. Seemingly always striving to be as hospitable as they can.“

“Went to get lunch when we got to Boston. Was close by our hotel and I love craft beer so was excited to try something local. Split the burger for lunch which was excellent. Tried three different beers and enjoyed each one. They didn’t do flights but do offer small pours so it made it easy to try different brews.

Venue was nice as well and easy to get to in the Seaport area.“

“Attended a class pop event here today and it was fabulous. Beer Selection was awesome.“

“Widowmaker always has a solid selection, with that comes an amazing seasonal rotation and a few surprises mixed in. I prefer IPAs and Sours and Widowmaker does not disappoint. Dogs are encouraged!“

“Excelente experiencia! Recomendado!“

“First visit, so we got two of their specialty flights, each containing four small pours of their local beer, chosen especially for summer time. One flight was IPA focused, and had a range of moderate hoppiness, along with one juicy, in-your-face over hopped wonders. The other flight featured a delicious raspberry sour beer, plus an addictive "brewtini" beer cocktail. Service was so friendly and welcoming, and I liked their outdoor beer garden. We brought lunch from a neighborhood restaurant.“

“Good beer, good times and good friends“

“Great staff, and a great bow market option.

No mandatory tipping like other bow businesses which is great, then you can tip properly and know the tips don’t go to management (mandatory gratuity is not actually ‘gratuity’, but rather a ‘fee’ that management can divert away from staff).

I want to say I love the beer every time, but I would still give the beer 4 stars. Sometimes they really hit the mark with their brews, and I love that they have cocktail options!“

“1.) Earth hour is my favorite beer out of all beers right now

2.) I love this place. They have an awesome outdoor set-up with cornhole, and lots of sunny seating. It's tucked away from the busy streets and there are a few community gardens sprinkled around it. Sometimes the smells from the chocolate factory nearby (I think its called tazo) drift by and its like that moment as a kid when you come in from a crisp fall day and the sun is shining through the window just right and you can see the heat coming off a sweet treat fresh out of the oven. awwwhhh!!! and you've got a cold delicious beer in your hand. I think the reason portico is really able to give me this feeling though is of course the people that work there. I go over pretty regularly so we kinda know each other now. Every time I walk in I'm greeted by the biggest smile from whoever is behind the bar which feels cliche to write, but whatever it still feels good. I've talked to one of the owners a few times, and he's kind and welcoming as well. He was happy to take time to talk about brewing with me, and turns out he lives a few streets over. I never feel rushed and every time I've gone I've had a lovely time. The folks at this place have been so kind to me, and I selfishly hope it continues to do amazing because I like going here and I like their beer. you should go here too.

Cheers,

“Beer is fantastic, staff are super friendly and eager to help. The inside and outside are perfectly appointed with plenty of family-friendly space. The cherry on top is their selection of panini which are to die for. The Roman Cubano was truly a sandwich that you write home about. The flavor combo on 10/10 bread was incredibly memorable. One of my favorite brewery experiences anywhere in the US.“

“Great beer/seltzers/food, great space, friendly staff!“

“We had a wonderful time at Barrell Z House this past Saturday. Our bartender, dressed in Germany garb for Oktoberfest, was so friendly and helpful. We had our little dog Ella with us and was made to feel welcome. Our bartender even brought us a fresh bowl of water for her. We got some delicious sirloin sliders for us and doggie biscuits with PB for Ella from the food truck. My husband and I enjoyed the IPA. We tasted two different types, one more fruity and aroma, the other more hoppy. We’re hop heads and both agreed that the more hoppy one was our fav! They have a nice, shady outdoor area with Adirondack chairs, a great space to soak up the beer and sunshine these early fall days.“

“Super friendly staff, great beers and awesome food!!! Love this place!!!“

“Very good pizza! Happy to add that fifth star when you guys give more options for toppings.

Thanks for your response. I good start would be hamburger & pineapple and some of the other toppings that the food truck has.“

“We had the Biria chicken tacos, ordered a 2nd round cuz they were so good! I had a strawberry margarita - was delicious. Vibe was great around 1100 after a concert at the House of Blues. Will def be back !“

“Great open space with a patio area and a rooftop area. The craft brews are great and the charcuterie options were spot on.“

“Great beer and outdoor space“

“Casual venue for drinks. Was quiet in a snowy Saturday. Large selection of beers and one cocktail in a can. Some diversions for kids (basketball, some board games). Large slice of tasteless pizza. No parking (altho it was so quiet that we grabbed an employee parking spot).“

“This vibrant brewery in Somerville is a hidden gem tucked away in a corner, featuring an impressive outdoor area that's likely a popular hangout during the summer months. The interior is spacious and stylish, with plenty of seating in the main room and additional areas to the left as you walk in. There are also a variety of food vendors on-site, making it a great spot to enjoy a drink and a bite with friends.“

“Visited this location for the first time yesterday before a show at MGM! I go to the Waltham location quite often. Mike, Dre, and John were great at the bar. I'll make sure to stop in before the shows I'm going to rest of this year! A+“

“Perfect cider with no carbonation or added sugar. Love it!“

“Lovely bierhall with indoor and outdoor options when it’s warm out. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was relaxed and cozy. This seems like a nice spot to meet up with friends, and they have a small kitchen across the way for snacks (along with other options at the Speedway). The blood orange radler was tasty and they even had board games in the corner.

This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion.“

“Very well made beer, nice diversity in styles (NEIPA, sour, stout and even a couple N/As) Relaxing atmosphere.“

“This weekend we stumbled upon Lamplighter Brewing Company in Cambridge. It has a welcoming and hipster vibe. Really enjoyed seeing the pride flag at the bar— felt like a safe space for all.

The Cambridge location is busy around the time we went, which was around noon on a Saturday. There is lots of seating in the front but also in the back which is a little more quiet.

The setup is a little confusing for ordering though. There's one big line for food and coffee, but you don’t need to wait in that line to order beers. I wish we knew that because we didn’t see any signage to indicate where to order what. We also saw a lot of people sitting at the bar eating and drinking coffee, so it took a little bit to find a spot at the bar just to have a drink. I think the bar should be reserved for those looking to have a beer.

A positive though is that the beer tasty— light and refreshing. I thought some of the flavors were really creative. For example, I tried the Chrysalis which I believe had notes of jasmine and honey.

Overall would definitely come here again and try their food and coffee next time!“

“Great Neapolitan style pizza pop up, I ride miles and miles only to have some at one of the breweries they partner with“

“Loved the atmosphere,good food and great beer. Great service!“
