35 Best Craft Breweries near Roslindale

“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.“

“Trillium's Fort Point offers a great atmosphere both inside and out. The selection of local beers is fantastic, with something for every palate. I tried Nona's Stout, and it was delicious—a must-try! But be warned, it's a hefty 18%, so sip slowly and enjoy. A top spot for beer lovers seeking quality brews!“

“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.“

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

“10/10 brewery! Love their beer, pizza, and taproom as a whole!“

“We went for the first time today and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We got to try a few things before deciding on what we wanted. Would recommend checking this place out.“

“Excelente experiencia! Recomendado!“

“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!“

“awesome place to drink, eat and be HAPPY!!!! ALWAYS a great time“

“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,

“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.“

“Friendly, high-quality beer, and efficient service. Number one top crafted beer in my book. Medford brewing Company Easley made my top five “go to “places to hang out and enjoy an evening.“

“We LOVE Drop Zone! Delicious beer, fun variety of food options, and the best team running the show! Jason, Genie, and Caden, as well of the rest of their team make it a must visit 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.“

“This place has a great vibe, one of few breweries left in the state that allow dogs inside. They always have a diverse selection of beer on tap and in cans for purchase. The Bardos food truck on site has fantastic South Shore Bar Pizza as well. The staff is always super friendly and chill. Norwood is lucky to have Castle Island Brewing!“

“They have some really good beers, they have some other drinks one was a Pina colada it was delicious no idea what it was. It was a cold rainy day so hard to find a comfortable place to relax, they should have more comfortable seating inside.“

“I attended Dr. Daniel Breen's Tavern Talk at the Aeronaut Brewing Company and learned a lot!

Thank you for a safe environment to increase my neuroplasticity in Nov 2024. Your staff was very friendly and the Art of the Somerville Museum was beautiful. I appreciate that you hosted this interesting & mind opening event.“

“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).“

“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.“
