10 Best Craft Breweries near Salem

“Excellent last stop in Salem on a beautiful fall October day. River side beer garden and kiddo friendly. The Fiestbier rocked and the dark Czech beer made my wife happy. Good people, and great place to relax after a fun pre-Halloween midweek day and before catching our ferry back to Boston. Highly recommended when in Salem next!“

“Lychee blueberry sour was DELICIOUS!!!! The bar tender Adam was really nice and gave us a lot of good recommendations in the area! Also have snuggle boards and dog merch! Daily events happening at the brewery! Fun cute vibes for our honeymoon!!!“

“This is a review that should have been done a couple years back, but I completely forgot, and this place deserves it. I came in from out of state to visit Salem, and stopped in here. The beer was great; but an added bonus was that these guys could not have been nicer to talk to. When I mentioned I brew, and would love to start something up as a new post-retirement career, they were supportive, offered to give any advice they could, and made this such a great visit to a place I didn’t know existed until it turned up on a Google search for “Breweries near me.” I hope to be back in Salem sooner than later, and I will make it a point to stop in and have more beer than I probably should. Cheers guys!“

“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!! 🙂“

“This is going to sound funny - I'm leaving a review, even though I didn't end up booking my event at Granite Coast Brewing. I had been planning birthday party and the original space fell through. I was in a bind to find an alternate space and reached out to a number of places. I was so impressed how responsive Amy from GCBC was - she was empathetic to my situation and tried to make it work on short notice. Even in just a few interactions she went above and beyond. My experience with Granite Coast was so great that although in the end they didn't have availability for this event, I am hoping to hold an event there in the future!“

“Perfect taste discovered this the other day“

“Trying the new pumpkin beer called “ Man overgourd” . It is awesome. I highly recommend it. The service is always excellent and Katie the bartender is very knowledgeable about the beers . She also pours a terrific beer!🍺“
