Remnant Brewing - Taproom, Cafe, and Smiles. Brewery • $$
2 Bow Mkt Way, Somerville

“This review is based off the cafe portion of Remnant. I started going to Remnant bc Union Square Donuts on the other side had gotten rid of or lost all my favorite peeps (didn't really feel like supporting anymore).

I remember I had seen Remnant served coffee, so my pup and I meandered on over to grab my quad shot Americano and maybe sit in the beer garden. Then I found out my buddy could actually sit inside with me while we stole some of their AC. Then I found out they have wifi and outlets and I could get some work done as well!

(Laptops not permitted Friday-Saturday after 6pm).

The peeps that work there are great and efficient. They move quick even with longer lines and even when they start serving beers and cocktails AND coffee at the same time. They have restrooms in the back that are unisex along with a water station. You can't take your beer into Bow's patio area, but they have the beer garden in the back and a few tables littered right in front of their entrance. You can order food from any of the nearby restaurants and bring it in with you. You cannot order food from a nearby restaurant and use their space simply to post up and eat without ordering something from them - be cool people - don't take up space if you aren't supporting them in some way.

There's so many regulars that you'll get to know a few people if you go often enough. Everyone's super friendly. My dog gets bored as soon as I pull out my laptop to work, but he's made plenty of friends there too, so he still gets excited and pulls me to their doors whenever we're in Bow.

I love their espresso (and I'm picky) and I don't usually do iced tea, but their blood orange hibiscus iced tea is amazing, esp on a hot day. Interested in trying their margaritas at some point.“

Portico Brewing Brewery •
101 South Street, Somerville

“Craft beer made by really thoughtful local guys. I got a flight, and everything was fantastic. Really unique flavors, and ask them to explain to you how they make it. I normally don't like lighter beers, but this one was really different and incredibly refreshing.

Beer aside, the ambiance is awesome. They have games, events, food, great designs. It's a great place to hang out for an afternoon or evening with your friends or family.“

Aeronaut Brewing Company Brewery • $

“Great beer, atmosphere, and food options! I love coming here for trivia and meeting up with friends. I especially love the Bevi machine that they have - one of the few places you can go to find one for public use. It really makes my friends who don't consume alcohol and don't like traditional non-alcoholic options feel more comfortable coming out and having a good time.“

Idle Hands Craft Ales Brewery • $
89 Commercial Street, Malden - 2.84 miles

“On a beautiful fall Saturday, after a local hike in the woods, we rewarded ourselves with a couple of beers here at the brewery. The selection is great because it’s more than just IPAs; at least 4 Oktoberfest traditional brews that were traditional but also modern enough to appeal to everyone. IPAs and lagers rounded out the selections and the couple we tried were great. Low-key vibe with a mix of clientele so everyone felt welcome. College football was on but only a few paying attention; just as many browsing the book sale! Definitely a repeatable experience.“

“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.“

Long Live Roxbury Brewery •

“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?“

Distraction Brewing Co. Brewery • $$
2 Belgrade Avenue, Roslindale - 7.13 miles

“Great indoors and outdoors space. The vibe is really nice and I love the amount of space they have to work with. I'd say the weird part of our experience was that the bartender was struggling to pull their IPA from the tap it was clearing a clogged line or a tapped keg as he was getting mostly foam but didn't try to rectify the situation he just kept letting it pour. So I wasn't too happy with my IPA for that reason. The guava sour was quite nice.

The pricing was EXTREMELY reasonable and would highly recommend this spot.

Outside of the weird IPA experience I wouldn't have any complaints.“

There’s also plenty of non-alcoholic options. They serve 4oz pours, which is helpful for folks who enjoy beer but can’t drink much. The options they have are SO tasty, and some are so fun and creative. It’s a great place to spend time, the vibes are lovely.“

“In town from NC and part of the craft beer industry down there so I love to check out different breweries when I’m visiting places. Randomly stumbled across Mighty Squirrel and had such a wonderful experience. First, absolutely delicious blackberry sour! Crisp, refreshing, with the perfect balance of pucker. Second, the staff all around was kind. We went to the Fenway and Waltham taprooms. Splendid bartenders, servers, and managers. Supriya was kind enough to give us a tour of the brewery itself. She is so sweet and was a blessing to us to be able to see the massive barrel and canning system! Highly recommend.“
