39 Best Craft Breweries near Somerville

“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Their coffee stout is delicious. They don't serve food but allow you to bring it. Since it's located in Bow Market, you have a lot of great food options to choose from. Nice, friendly service and great atmosphere to hangout with friends.“

“The place itself is really cool and chill. Cornhole, TV with N64 and 4 controllers with a number of party games set up to play, and good spicy chili for your nacho bar snack. Unfortunately the beers were all on the lighter side. It is a good place to chill and have some light beers but I enjoy more full-bodied beers. So I don't think I will be coming back for the beers.“

“This is a great place for beer. Prices aren't cheap but I guess that's just Cambridge MA thing. My favourite beer - Buzz Factory. I haven't tried the food here but I suppose it won't be bad. They have huge space which can be a great place for socialisation and for hanging out with friends.“

“Been drinking Idle Hands beers since they were in the original Everett location (I think it was a slasher movie film set). Quite simply, the best beers you can get unless you leave the continent and head east, and they’d give the European breweries a run for their money too. Top notch!“

“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.“

“Food with something that speaks to your soul“

“Mancini Soul Project definitely recommends night shift brewing. the best people, staff and brews!!“

“Sunday night dinner … Out-of-town visiting our daughter & her family … tasty & flavorsome craft beer; mouthwatering, wood burning oven pizza; TVs & lots of games for the entire family. The best part was the staff…VERY welcoming, friendly and assisted you so that your visit was a memorable and enjoyable experience. Thank you! 5+ Stars“

“Long long long live overdue visit to the Best Brewery in Boston. All due respect to Sam Adams, Trill, and others these guys are masters of the IPA but don't go to sleep on Merry Dancer (dark lager) or the Frozie Cup Series. If you're hankering for light the Rox Pils and Kolsch are top tier! Beers to make you happy and a great space with parking. What else do you need in Boston?“

“When my uncle passed away, he left clear instructions that he did NOT want a traditional memorial service. He wanted his friends to get together and have beers. Joe and the other owners COULD NOT have been more accommodating. They helped every step of the way through this challenging time. They are incredible people, and I could not be happier with how the event turned out. I will be a lifelong supporter of Distraction, as will every single person who attended that evening. I can not thank them enough.“

“Highly recommend !!! Adams Apple - cider , Candlepin- light, and Fiver- hazy ipa, to start. Atmosphere is really open and inviting. Lots of natural light but that cozy dark vibe too. Bardo’s pizza is so good. It’s kind of giving naan with toppings in consistency and with super crusty crust like almost burnt but don’t be alarmed. Staff were overall really attentive and friendly! The outdoor space looked great but the winter weather did not cooperate. The Gen Zesty was unbelievably pickle tasting perfection but no soggy pickles! The ranch pickle dressing was so good you didn’t need the actual pickles on the pizza. Giving chicken bacon ranch but to the next level.“

“Jake and Jeremy did a superlative job taking great care of us as customers with excellent service, organized, efficient, and food quality outstanding. Highly recommend the restaurant and servers Jake and Jeremy. They deserve a raise.“

“Excelente experiencia! Recomendado!“

“Definitely worth checking out if you’re at Marina Bay or in the area. Aside from being a prime location, this is one of the only places in Boston that is dog friendly! You can bring your own food, order from the shops nearby or support vendors at BRB. Their tap list rotates often so there is always something new to try. Additionally, they always have different events going on and varying vendors at the brewery. The vibes here are unmatched, especially for the area ( Q can be a bit sleepy). We need more places like BRB in Quincy.“

“It was a great vibe !! I’m not a beer drinker but these were amazing !! Loved the food, bartenders were friendly and food was delicious !!!“

“Good beer, good times and good friends“

“This neighborhood gem is always worth a visit, but the reason I’m reviewing after years of regular visits is the welcoming, compassionate nature of owners Liz and Jen. Today, during a packed house viewing of a USWNT game, Liz made sure to welcome every customer and search for free seats for them. I overheard several parties comment on how kind they thought this was, AND how much they enjoyed their beers. I, of course, wholeheartedly agree! Please come support this small, woman-owned, LGBT-owned local business!“

“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 !“

“Just had the most welcoming visit at Hannah’s! Kathleen at the bar took great care of us. Scott Bros BBQ was the event for the day and it smelled great! Looking forward to a return visit very soon! The beers were absolutely DEEELICIOUS!!!! If you haven’t visited Hannah’s yet, don’t wait! It’s terrific!“

“MBC is a great place to hang with different selections of well crafted brews ! Fun, layback atmosphere . The staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“Perfect taste discovered this the other day“

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

“Honestly the alcohol/drinks are really good here but there were waaaay too many children running around when I went. At least 6-8 kids, I’m not sure why people are bringing children to a place where people are getting drunk, but it definitely ruined the atmosphere“

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

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

“Great beer and outdoor space“

“Not only is Notch beer delicious and dedicated to putting out European styles you can’t get anywhere else, but their vibe is unmatched. They are dedicated to our community and hosting amazing events. Notch is a true value add to the Brighton community. Can’t recommend enough.“

“ODE TO HARPOON STOUT:
Oh Harpoon, my dear Harpoon,
Your buttery stout makes me swoon!

Why oh why can't I find it when I'm out?
There are not many truly good stouts.

Please find a way to put it in a bottle,
The tech seems to need Aristotle!

Come on, at least offer it in kegs,
Don't make us drink Guinness's dregs!

ORIGINAL:
Great tasting room! I had no idea that harpoon made such a lovely, buttery stout! I did not try all of the beers, I kept having the stout! Tasting room is $15 and bottomless 4 oz glasses!“

“An awesome place. I went there for a movie night and tried their beer, their lager was really good. I stopped by again today just to pick up my credit card and was pleasantly surprised to see that in the morning they serve coffee and have breakfast options as well.“

“The staff, the food, the patrons...all of it! Fabulous. Thank you!“

“We recently held a small 60 person family/friends event in the Squirrel’s Den at Mighty Squirrel and couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out.

The upstairs space felt separate enough for our group, but still connected to the rest of the brewery. The staff were helpful and attentive, and kept things running smoothly

We went with a breakfast spread, and the food was outstanding — fresh, well-prepared, and a real hit with everyone there.

They made the whole experience feel effortless on our end. Would absolutely recommend Mighty Squirrel to anyone looking for a welcoming and well-run space for their next event.“

“The best pizza in Boston!“

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

“My colleague and I dropped in for a bite during a work trip, and we couldn’t have been happier with the food, beer, and service. The bartender, Liam, made our tough travel day so much better. Next time I’m in town, I’m making it a priority to stop here. Keep up the amazing work!!“

“Deep Cuts is a great little spot to eat and catch a show. The food is good, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The live space is small and intimate. There’s even a selection of vinyl records available for sale in the taproom!!!! I highly recommend it.“

“Good location! Good beer!“

“Best onion rings I’ve ever had. Convenient to Charles Theatre. Nice selection of their own brews. Fair pricing too! We will go again for sure!“

“Lots of fun it was a great time“
