“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.“

Remnant Brewing - Taproom, Cafe, and Smiles. Brewery • $$
2 Bow Mkt Way, Somerville - 7.03 miles

“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.“

Distraction Brewing Co. Brewery • $$
2 Belgrade Avenue, Roslindale - 8.21 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.“

Drawdown Brewing Brewery •
3204 Washington St, Boston - 8.16 miles

“We had the best experience at Drawdown. The staff there helped talk us through the different things available. Don’t like beer? No problem, there’s other options. 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.“

Lamplighter Brewing Co. - Broadway Brewpubs • $
284 Broadway, Cambridge - 7.05 miles

“Really good beer, fairly priced, good service and amicable clientele. Sure, my small pour of stout could have been served with less head but maybe the keg was about to kick it? Either way, I was very happy with my selection of beers and had some great conversations with other patrons who were all regulars and love beer. Would definitely recommend.“

“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.“
