26 Best Craft Breweries near Winthrop

“Great beer/seltzers/food, great space, friendly staff!“

“3rd brewery of the night before the party and I settled for the Friday Decisions Bitter (on a Friday, too). The bartender was really cool in explaining what the beer can machine does and the nuances of laws surrounded beer. We also liked that there was card games for us to play while we drink. The bitter, was well, bitter. But it was also pretty smooth and I eventually gulped the last few ounces.“

“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.“

“Attended a class pop event here today and it was fabulous. Beer Selection was awesome.“

“Always look to try local brews when I travel and stopped in based on the reviews. Venue is very nice and we sat outside as the sun was out and warmed it up on a cold day.

Tried several of their Czech varieties and wasn’t disappointed. Really enjoyed the visit and would recommend to anybody looking for a good beer.“

“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“We went for the first time today and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We got to try a few things before deciding on what we wanted. Would recommend checking this place out.“

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

“The previous time I went, it was frustrating arriving and leaving by bike because the painted bike lane was constantly full of rideshare drivers who pull in front of you/into you without checking their mirrors. I went back for the first time in a while last night, and the new bike lane makes it so much less stressful to share the space with those drivers, so I feel much more comfortable coming back. The vibe in Portico itself is great, so I am glad the trip there and back is getting less stressful!

(Sorry, I don't know how to reply except by editing my review. It looks like May 25th is a Sunday; is it then or Thursday the 22nd?)“

“Excelente experiencia! Recomendado!“

“Great staff, and a great bow market option.

No mandatory tipping like other bow businesses which is great, then you can tip properly and know the tips don’t go to management (mandatory gratuity is not actually ‘gratuity’, but rather a ‘fee’ that management can divert away from staff).

I want to say I love the beer every time, but I would still give the beer 4 stars. Sometimes they really hit the mark with their brews, and I love that they have cocktail options!“

“Good beer, good times and good friends“

“Decent variety of beers and all very well made. Tons of chill events too.The thing that keeps bringing me back though- the staff. They have a good feel for the room. They're willing to chat or let you be. Seemingly always striving to be as hospitable as they can.“

“Very good pizza! Happy to add that fifth star when you guys give more options for toppings.

Thanks for your response. I good start would be hamburger & pineapple and some of the other toppings that the food truck has.“

“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 !“

“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.“

“Great beer and outdoor space“

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

“Visited this location for the first time yesterday before a show at MGM! I go to the Waltham location quite often. Mike, Dre, and John were great at the bar. I'll make sure to stop in before the shows I'm going to rest of this year! A+“

“This vibrant brewery in Somerville is a hidden gem tucked away in a corner, featuring an impressive outdoor area that's likely a popular hangout during the summer months. The interior is spacious and stylish, with plenty of seating in the main room and additional areas to the left as you walk in. There are also a variety of food vendors on-site, making it a great spot to enjoy a drink and a bite with friends.“

“Casual venue for drinks. Was quiet in a snowy Saturday. Large selection of beers and one cocktail in a can. Some diversions for kids (basketball, some board games). Large slice of tasteless pizza. No parking (altho it was so quiet that we grabbed an employee parking spot).“

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

“This weekend we stumbled upon Lamplighter Brewing Company in Cambridge. It has a welcoming and hipster vibe. Really enjoyed seeing the pride flag at the bar— felt like a safe space for all.

The Cambridge location is busy around the time we went, which was around noon on a Saturday. There is lots of seating in the front but also in the back which is a little more quiet.

The setup is a little confusing for ordering though. There's one big line for food and coffee, but you don’t need to wait in that line to order beers. I wish we knew that because we didn’t see any signage to indicate where to order what. We also saw a lot of people sitting at the bar eating and drinking coffee, so it took a little bit to find a spot at the bar just to have a drink. I think the bar should be reserved for those looking to have a beer.

A positive though is that the beer tasty— light and refreshing. I thought some of the flavors were really creative. For example, I tried the Chrysalis which I believe had notes of jasmine and honey.

Overall would definitely come here again and try their food and coffee next time!“
