Brewery Finds

I moved out of Everett a few months ago, so haven't seen their expanded space yet, but the original place was just too narrow and small. Next to impossible to get into when dealing with the Nightshift overflow. Hope the expanded space works for them.

Since I moved up to the NH border I've been well impressed with Stoneface. Decent beer, decent food, decent space.

Silvaticus make the best lagers east of Jacks Abby and have a nice spot.

Deciduous was a nice find for NEIPAs, but their space is pretty mediocre. Strip mall location, strip mall feel

 

Swung by Castle Island on Saturday around 2pm. Place was pretty damn busy but we landed a seat at the bar. Unbeknownst to me they were tapping a table beer collab between them, Widowmaker and Nightshift called Table of Elements.

It was pretty damn tasty! Disappointed they didn't have it in cans to go, but man did it go well with pizza from Fiamma Bella. Never heard of this mobile oven but they easily make some of the best wood-fired pizza in the area.

 

Redemption Rock in Worcester is one of the cooler taprooms ive been into in a while. Fun space, solid and improving beers, nice people. I'm excited to keep checking in there!

 

RIver Styx has made some crazy good IPA's. Definitely worth the trip, and it's close to Wachussett. So you can take a hike up the mountain first and completely nullify drinking 3-4 600 calorie beers before your wife chaperones you home. Highly recommended.

 

I love Bone Up. Their core beers are solid and they always have a good variety of styles on tap. And they regularly have cask ale. The couple that owns it are super friendly and theres a great quirky/homey vibe to the space.

 

Stellwagen Beer Co. in Marshfield consistently puts out some pretty tasty beer along with a nice spot to enjoy them...........

also a shout out to Burke's Alewerks in Hanover

 

Can Stellwagen cans be found outside the brewery?

 

They have some distribution, but it seems somewhat inconsistent. South shore seems to get it most often. I’ve found them at Fort Point Market occasionally too.

 

Would like to try it. Work in Rockland, live Plymouth...let me know if anyone spots any in that vicinity....

 

I believe I saw them at CBC Braintree and the memory is a bit foggy but i think Kappys Norwell too.... not sure on the frequency of deliveries though.......
The brewery is not that far from Rte 3. FWIW

 

My store Empire Wine and Spirits in Kingston gets them

 

At that point you're about 15 min away from the brewery, why not swing by?

 

Recently had the Bock @ Lowell Beer Works. Damn tasty.

 

I've had a few fresh cans of their offerings and found them to be much like Windowmaker, which is forgettable. Just more average beer taking up shelf space at this point.

 

That was my assessment of their beer too, but that was last summer when they first opened. I'm up that way a lot in the summer and will try again, I hope my initial reaction proves to be wrong now.

 

Brick and Feather in Turners Falls, had a full house for
Slow Pour Sunday this past week, Excellent use of the slow pour to accentuate
the Helles, and Franconian Lagers released.
Also they have jazzed up gravity casks on many weekends

Cheers

 

I look forward to having them every year at the Lexington Green event.

What's a "jazzed up" gravity cask?

 

They take a base beer offering from that week, and Dry hop or, add adjuncts.
We have enjoyed the Porter with Cocoa and Vanilla beans, or the pale ale with sage, one time stout with peppermint and cocoa, as a nod to Girl scout cookies, think thin mints,
all have been well thought out and quite good to drink.
Cheers
