10 Best Craft Breweries near Salem

“Love the vibe of Notch, and of course, the BEER! The owner and staff are great, attentive, and always there with a smile. Yoy got to try the pretzel and look for special events like the monthly meat raffle! I appreciate their policy of 21+ at night, kids are great, but sometimes not all the time! Speaking of kids, I especially appreciate the staff encouraging parents to be attentive to their kids during earlier hours so they aren't running around unregulated. Kids need to behave in public places like this!“

“This was by far the best place in salem. The manager was very inviting and the drinks were marvelous! The blueberry selter was my wifes number one drink in salem.. thank you staff and manager of East regiment you made my visit to salem worth the trip! AWESOME!!!“

“Stopped in this past Saturday, on a trip up from Florida. Watched the dog training class for a bit and their welcome inside, and sampled a couple of the "offerings". Great brews! As a former home brewer, brought back a couple memories (Porter and IPA). And the bartender was GREAT!! 🙂“

“Granite Coast is always pouring a wide selection of fantastic local beer, you are sure to find a new favorite. Their tap room is always friendly, welcoming, and a perfect spot to hang with friends or meet new ones. You get to meet everyone involved in making this place truly awesome and learning their passion about the brewery, including Jeff the lead brewer. GCB is a great addition to the main streets of Peabody by supporting the community and other small businesses, and this is why they are one of a handful of places I will support. If you haven't tried them yet, you should, because they truly are the last best place to stop for a drink before you get to Salem.“

“The staff at Backbeat are awesome!half of them are brewers so they can answer any question. The pizza with hot honey is incredible!“

“A fantastic family friendly brewery that is truly owner operated, and always a delight. Twisted Fate has been my go-to brewery for the past two years, serving up a variety of fantastic beers.“

“I attended a private event held here hosted by the Beverly/Salem Chabad house on Friday night and was blown away with the hospitalty, service, coziness and beer! What an incredible venue! One of the owners, Tim was gracious and personable. I tried three of the 10 beers they had listed and all of them were unique & yummy! I loved that they aired The Celtics game, too on their large flat screen TV! And their holiday decore was tastefully spread out. I also admire their display of abstract art created by local artists. This is a win win place to stop into for a cold, home made beer while chit chatting among locals. I will be back!“
