The best place to grab a beer and hang out! The atmosphere is electric, the beer is the best beer in New England, it's clean, and it's very family-friendly.
Absolutely amazing space for a brewery. Easy parking. Oh and did I mention great beers? Dog friendly inside and out which is a must for us.
Great selection of beers, beautiful space, kid-friendly, dog-friendly, great friendly staff, and you can bring in food with you. Overall great experience not to be missed!!!
Great beers, terrific venue, bartender was fantastic. Highly recommend.
I can't say enough good things about this place. Service, vibe, atmosphere, and product were 10/10.
Terrific space and awesome vibe. Very cool contrast between old mill building and art and kitschy furniture. Dogs, kids, and folks of all ages were having a great time. Beer was good too.
