Multiple Locations
You've got options for where to enjoy Trillium: at their huge campus in Canton, their industrial taproom in Fort Point, their cozy space in Time Out, or one of their (seasonal) beer gardens. All provide a great vibe to sip on their Boston-themed IPAs, smooth stouts or fruited sours.

Multiple Locations
The OG taproom is located just outside Boston, and now there's a Fenway location that's just as dope. Mighty Squirrel Brewing lives up to its name. Their beers are mighty tasty, especially the fan favorite, Cloud Candy.

Multiple Locations
One of the fastest growing breweries in Boston, Night Shift continuously creates new, exciting beers. Visit their taproom in Everett or Lovejoy Wharf, and during the summer, check out any of their beer gardens, known as "Owl's Nests," throughout Boston.

Multiple Locations
You'll have to travel down to the South Shore, but it's well worth it. Untold makes great beer and their taprooms are such a vibe. The original location in Scituate is in an old, renovated schoolhouse, and their newer space in Plymouth is super chill and dog-friendly.

Multiple Locations
With a massive taproom, and a seemingly endless supply of beer on draft, Lord Hobo has made some serious waves in the Boston beer scene. Both the Woburn and Seaport locations have a full kitchen and offer seltzers, cocktails and NA options. Bonus: their flights come with six pours instead of the standard four.

Somerville
Enjoy your beer and play some old-school Nintendo - that's right, Aeronaut has a projection on the wall where you can play your favorite video games. The only difference is this time, you're playing with a beer in your hand. The taproom is open year-round, and the seasonal patio is well worth a visit in the summer.
