This place is on a side street not far from the I-290 bend in Worcester. It's located in an industrial area a bit hidden from the road. It's spacious with many tables and a bar in the center. Behind the bar is the brewery. In the corner sits a cooler with a good variety of 4-packs. Nearby sits a small area of swag.
The on-tap menu featured over a dozen beers. There's a focus on high alcohol, imperial style beers with most of them having an abv above 8%. They also seem to prefer the IPA style. Nevertheless, the beers are quite good, definitely above average.
The food is typical pub grub, but it's well made. I particularly recommend the Buffalo Wings. Service was attentive and warm.

One of my favorite Worcester Breweries, definitely agree with the industrial feel, they don't brew a bad beer. I have been there typically on the weekends only and the food is only really picky food. Lets just say I don't go there for the food.

Nice place. Very industrial brewery feel. Open ceiling and pipes, walls painted with fun stuff, picnic tables and resin covered stone tables, plus a nice outdoor area where you are basically in mini hills. Couple tvs with sports and news. 90s music playing, brewery itself can be seen in three back.
12 taps and one nitro, all their own beers or sister brewery Soul Purpose. Fair selection, mostly NEIPAs but a couple Oktoberfest, pilsner, couple stouts, sours, and seltzer as well. Also plenty of beers to go.
Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Food was a little lackluster. Burger was quite boring and felt like a thicker frozen patty with little flavor. Fries were as basic and boring as you can get. It was basically a slight step above fast food.

Not a bad place, but the fact they only offer full-pours of their 8%+ beers is definitely an issue. You basically can have one drink and that's it. Unless you want to die or drive home hammered.

New taproom. Comfortable, family friendly. Pours and cans available. Being new not a lot of beer choices on tap. Food, while menu limited is basic but very good. Great place to visit, I expect big things here. Need to hire more help as they are already very busy.

Nice Taproom plenty of seating and bar space. Servers were quick and attentive. Food was good. A good addition to the thriving Worcester craft beer scene.
