1. O'so Brewering Co
Plover, WI 54467
(715) 254-2163
So they just opened this new space and its amazing.
The tap room has 40 draft beers available every day. The beers are not limited to just their own which is interesting for small brewery. They had selections from all over WI and they knew just as…More »
2. Hill Farmstead Brewery
This is one of better brewers in VT. While the brewery itself is not a big operation the location is beautiful and they are very skilled.
The brewery is basically a garage/barn with the equipment, storage and the tasting table. Its located in the…More »
3. Founders Brewing
So I'm in Grand Rapids for a week for work. I almost always search for breweries in the area to try them out. For some reason I didn't do this until Wednesday night and to my surprise one of my favorite breweries of all time is a short drive from my…More »
4. Harpoon Brewery
This is by far the best brewery tour in VT.
I hit up what was the last tour of the day which ended up working out well because they were in no hurry at all & I think were more relaxed because they knew their day was almost over. The tour was not given…More »
5. Trout River Brewing Co
So this place is the perfect marriage of great beer & pizza. If they only did one or the other they would still be a great place, but when they do both so well it makes this place very special.
They had a whole host of interesting pizza options, but…More »

Best brewpub in northern NH and certainly could holds its own in any location. I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed. It was also cool to see that they have a lot of vegetarian and gluten free options available as well as all…More »

What an amazing place. Great beers brewed on site with great food in a very nice space.
Stopped in here for dinner and some beers. I had the Chicken Vermont for my dinner and it was impressive. The chicken was very juicy and the apple shallot sauce…More »
8. The Alchemist - CLOSED
Great brewery with very interesting and imaginative beer selections. The service is great and the place looked really cool.
Here's to hoping they re-open from the Irene flooding better than ever.
9. Fiddlehead Brewing
Well Vermont has a new brewery and if the grand opening was a sign of what is to come it is going to be great.
A few weeks ago I noticed a new building right on Rt 7 that had a small sign over the door that said pizza & beer. I assumed it was some…More »
10. Rock Art Brewery
Very good beer and an amazing friendly staff.
They moved from their previous location which was a warehouse to a new facility with a beautiful tasting room & shop in the front with the brewery in the back. They had even planted hops by porch in the…More »
11. Switchback Brewing Co
This was my last stop on breweries in VT to visit.
Tucked back in an industrial complex full of hot dog trucks lies Switchback. First thing to know is that you enter the building for the tour through one of the loading docks in the back not the door…More »
12. Magic Hat Brewing Company
This was a pretty good brewery experience. An informative tour that more focuses on the history and character of the brewery while just touching on the actual process.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all the different…More »
13. The Lucky Monk
South Barrington, IL 60010
(847) 898-0500
Categories:
American (Traditional),

This place was pretty large inside and also had a large outdoor seating area. I sat at the bar which had lots of room and seemingly TVs at every angle.
For beer they had a great selection of both their own brews and others. As you could guess by the…More »
14. The Tap Brew Pub
Paid a return visit the other evening and still enjoyed the place.
Obviously the beer is the star here and the Three Graces selection did not disappoint. It was similar in flavor to some Allagash offerings, but I actually preferred it. I also enjoyed…More »

I wanted to go here after I had their beer a couple times at various events in the area. I read all… Read more »
15. Great Dane Pub & Brewing Co.
Really fancy looking exterior with equally nice interior space. I really liked the fact you could see all the brewing equipment and tanks through windows in the side of the bar. Multiple seating areas and a very large bar area. There also were pool…More »
16. Old Dominion Brewhouse
Probably the most interesting sports bar I have ever set foot in.
Like a typical sports bar it had tons of TVs with every single NFL game on while we there. They had the obligatory sports knick knacks and pictures everywhere and the people were…More »
17. Watch City Brewing Co
Waltham, MA 02453

Good service, decent food and average prices.
They always have a wide selection of their own beers which are usually very good. You can get a sampler or stick to the traditional by the pint route. They are very creative with their beers and some of…More »
18. Norwich Pub at the Norwich Inn
Cute small bar area in the Inn. The service was friendly and the beers were good, but not outstanding. Another solid VT brewery.
19. 5 Seasons Brewing
Cool beer and food selections in a nice space. The service was average or a slight bit below average. It also was a little weird that all the waiters were overweight and had grizzly adams beards.
That said the beer selections were very good. The IPA…More »
20. Trapp Family Lodge
This review is for the brewery and cafe only.
Stopped in to try the beer which they only serve in their cafe. The cafe is a small building off to the left just before the main lodge. The bar is in the rear section, but there is also a huge deck off…More »
21. Otter Creek Brewing Inc
Missed the tour this day (although I will be back for it) so my review is only for the gift shop/tasting room.
I was a bit disappointed that they no longer offer free samples. You can only buy pints not even smaller glasses to just taste. This was…More »
22. Boston Beer Works
Boston, MA 02215
(617) 536-2337
Categories:
Breweries,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Fenway
Decent food options for lunch. The sandwiches and burgers are good, but the prices are a little on the high side. The appetizers are a little on the small side and pricey side as well.
The beer is of course the real reason to come here. I find that…More »
23. McNeill's Brewery
You know you a place has a weird atmosphere when a 6 foot tall Afriacn America drag queen walks in with a patriotic themed sequin dress with a matching a parasol and the bartender & some of the regulars act like nothing out of the ordinary is…More »
24. Elm City Brewing Company
So I have mixed feelings about this place and waver between 3 or 4 starts for it. Compared to the other options in the Keene area its probably a 4, but when you take into account the rest of the world its only a 3.
I have been here a bunch of times as…More »

Boston, MA 02128
(617) 569-2277
Categories:

Neighbourhood: East Boston
Same beer selection as other Boston Beerworks. Which means mostly average beer selections with the occasional good option. The only good one while I was there was a 9 Alarm Amber which was a spicy amber ale.
The food menu is rather limited, but they…More »
26. Vermont Pub & Brewery
I know this place is an institution in Burlington & honestly it was my destination of choice in Burlington until I started to learn about the other options, but I'm not overly impressed. Their beers are good, but you can certainly find better & more…More »
27. Pike Brewing Company
Seattle, WA 98122

Categories:
Breweries,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Located right in the Pike St Market its a pretty touristy area, but the place was decent.
They had a good beer selection available and had multiple seasonal options available which was a nice touch. The only thing I didn't like is that they advertised…More »
28. The Shed Restaurant & Brewery - CLOSED
So this place has a couple distinct areas for eating. The first being the patio in the back. Then adjacent to that is a large dining room. There is also a very small bar off to the side in a sun room. There is also a more formal main dinning room on…More »
29. Longtrail Brewing Company
Bridgewater Corners, VT 05035

This review is only for the self guided brewery tour/gift shop as the restaurant had a multiple hour wait on the afternoon I stopped in.
The self guided tour right off the bat made me a little suspicious and it was amazingly poor. Basically there is a…More »
30. Three Needs Taproom & Brewery
So my first impression of this place was not good. I walk up on a Friday evening and see a bunch of people standing out front. I start to walk past them thinking they are smoking or hanging out or whatever only to find out the bar is at capacity.…More »
31. John Harvard's Brew House
Framingham, MA 01701

Categories:

The beer was ok and a bit pricey for what it was. The service could have been better and the layout of the bar area was a little odd. Since there are so many other places in the area I don't think its worth the time or money.
