Non-hyped taprooms and breweries

I've had the IPA and the Berliner they did last summer. Berliner felt thin, even for the style, and the IPA was surprisingly dark and homebrew-y to me. Didn't stack up to its rating, IMO. But obviously others disagree.

 

I have to weigh in with Abandoned Buildings, a wonderful feel with really good people.
The beers continue to develop, and improve.
Northampton Brewery we have a soft spot for, the brewing team is really excited to do great things.
Recently visited OEC in CT what a great time, I hope they are ready for the crowds SHHH!
Thanks for the thread.
Cheers all

 

Our naming conventions are sometimes confusing and our website is so not up to date, but we're extremely close to opening our new Somerville Brewing Brewery+Taproom in Boynton Yards Somerville. We're the folks behind Slumbrew. This is an entirely different location than the family-friendly tented beer garden we have at Assembly Row.

Our new Taproom + Brewery will have Lunch & Dinner 11am-Midnight and 11am - 9pm weekends. The space is not huge, but we will have parking after 5pm weeknights, all weekend. Growler fills will begin on 05.01 and our brewing will commence as soon as the glycol lines are hooked to our chiller on the roof.

Keep an eye on FB for when we're actually open to the public. Might be as soon as Friday.

Cheers.

 

Banded Horn has bottles 12oz of Veridian IPA and there new pilsner and also if there is any left there great stout Jolly Woodsmen. Great brewery in a neat old mill building.

 

I believe they may sell bags of chips and I don't believe they are allowed to serve full pints. Samples, bottles, and growlers are it I think but then again their website should be able to provide more info.

I would say hit up Tributary first then go to some other places like Blue Lobster or Throwback and Earth Eagle Brewings then head on over to Stoneface. Never saw Stoneface bottles but then again the wife didn't want to stop at any bottle shops either. Hope that helps but def worth visiting Stoneface and other breweries mentioned!

Cheers,
Drew

 

Tributary and Lost Nation are my favorite unsung heroes right now. Great hang every time and wonderful beers
