It's a small industrial park but seems to be a good use of the space, very casual atmosphere, with food trucks or vendors for eats, check the website for the food options. I've had sake before but never knew that it could come in such a variety of flavors. They had 9 different varieties on tap with more in cans as options. Being a novice at sake I opted for flights of 3, i had 2 different flights so I was able to sample most of the sakes on tap and yes I did share otherwise walking out might have been a challenge. The flavors are interesting ranging from the more traditional which most folks would liken to something they've had in a Japenese restaurant, to unusually deliciuos flavored options from fruit to woody pine accents. I found most enjoyable but leaned toward the cloudy (unfiltered) pine flavored sake. I know sounds strange but it's delicious and quite smooth, I'd say out of all that I tried I'd purchase 5 of the 6 again. I'm planning a return visit with friends, I'll be checking their calendar of events for food and entertainment options though to round out the visit.

Castle Island Brewery - Norwood, MA (Beer & Staff)…read more (Atmosphere) Great Beer Selection Castle Island delivers on what matters most: the beer. From crisp lagers to bold IPAs, the selection is solid, flavorful, and well-crafted. Whether you're a hop head or just looking for something smooth, there's something here for every palate. Friendly Staff The team behind the bar is welcoming, knowledgeable, and quick to offer recommendations. Service is efficient and upbeat, which adds to the overall positive vibe. Kid Overload Unfortunately, the atmosphere takes a hit. At 6:00 pm 8:00, the taproom felt more like a daycare than a brewery. Tables were dominated by birthday parties and families with small children eating cupcakes. While some may appreciate the family-friendly approach, it's jarring for those expecting a classic bar experience. If you're looking for a chill adult night out, this might not be the spot--especially on weekends. Final Thoughts Castle Island has the bones of a great brewery: excellent beer and great staff. But the overwhelming presence of kids makes it hard to relax or socialize. If they offered adult-only hours or designated family times, it could strike a better balance.

The beer cheese that came with the pretzel was straight out of the fridge cold.

It's located right at the entrance of an industrial area. There is a very small lot for parking but it was completely full when we visited today, so we parked along the road where a number of other cars were also parked. This seemed to be okay and the signs just requested folks not park on the grass. The entrance is set back from the street so you kind of need to go around towards the back. We saw they had a food truck, Farm to Sandwich, which although kind of pricey, was super delicious. We both got the All American Smash burger with fries. Fries were so crisp and well crafted and the burger was amazing with a great sauce reminiscent of a Big Mac. For beers, since it was our first time here, we decided to try a bit of everything with flights. Their flights are $13 for 4, 5 oz pours. I chose the Coffee Milk Stout, You are Such an Ass, Bienvenu and Justin's Jangle. We started which the You are Such an Ass IPA, which was described as a light IPA but really didn't taste like an IPA at all. We honestly thought they had poured us the wrong beer. As IPA enthusiasts, this was disappointing. The Bienvenu, which is a Red Ale with Panela (unrefined Colombian sugar cane) was infinitely better. The Coffee Milk Stout, I understand is very popular, but I thought this was average. Justin's Jangle, a Maple Praline Porter was my favorite! Really nice, complex brew! We also really enjoyed the live music from Jake Frezza, a local musician out of North Providence. He sang and played guitar and covered a diverse sampling of songs including Brittney Spears (Toxic), James Taylor and Marvin Gaye. His version of "What's Going On" was particularly excellent. I normally dread listening to live performers at breweries but this guy is actually very talented! Kudos to Ravenous for engaging such a high quality musician! Also, for a Saturday, it was not overcrowded or over run with kids. There was just one family with a super quiet baby and we noted just one dog inside. On exiting, I saw they have a nice memorial where they offer to pour a beer to a fallen service member. Very nice! Gender neutral restrooms Pinball Separate rooms make it quieter than breweries in just one big industrial space. Friendly service at the bar and no lines! Bar stools with no back, kind of uncomfortable and there seemed to be no other seating options like chairs or sofas. In summary: Highlights: Bienvenu Red Ale Justin's Jangle Jake Frezza live music Nice memorial to fallen soldiers Low Lights: You are Such an Ass IPA Barstools/ seating Would definitely stop back here again when in the area!

It was exciting when they moved to the new location and have a big beautiful building now. It's a great place to hang out and is quite large so is perfect for events. They have had fundraisers and music there often. There is a nice outside area , perfect for the nice weather coming. They usually have a food truck or you can bring your own. The beers are always reliable. They have had the bievenuto red and coffee stout as long as I can remember. There is always a good amount of choices , if you don't enjoy those flavors as much as I do. It's a really great spot and a great place to visit. Cheers

In fact, its mediocrity has kept me from ever visiting their brewpubs. My mistake! The beer here at the brewery, particularly some of the drafts are very well executed and deserve some mention, specifically their chocolate truffle Baltic porter. Not too sweet, fairly light bodied and perfectly flavored. Their New England hazies and even the dry Irish stout are all very well done and left me wanting to try some more. Most importantly, if you find yourself at patriot place wormtown, you must seek out Brian the bartender. Amazing personality, attentive, kind and really knows about the beers. He really made my visit even more enjoyable. I ended up having the barbacoa sliders and stupidly didn't take a pic. They honestly weren't really much to look at but the flavor was spot on. The meat was tender and the pickled onions added a nice texture. The facility itself is open and spacious with plenty of outdoor seating if that's your thing. They have an assortment of tables and even a couple of bar seats. Order everything at the bar and take it to wherever you fancy.

However, I was happy to find that there was a cafe in the back corner that opens in the mornings. So on the way to work, I tried out their cute cafe and got a pumpkin-spiced latte with almond milk. Overall, the coffee was decent and wasn't bitter or burnt (which was impressive since when I visited, the cafe was very new with little experience). This definitely earns them points in my book. I will say that they lose points (in my books) just based on my personal preferences. First off, being a brewery, expect there to be a STRONG smell of beer. Even though I wasn't in there for long, I could still find myself getting a headache and not enjoying the strong smell. I'll also say that the service I received the morning I went wasn't the best, and the man who made my drink definitely did not want to be there. As I've mentioned in other reviews I've done, I rate places HEAVILY based on service and kindness. Overall, the coffee was decent, but there are better places to go on Waltham that I would rather go to instead.

She eventually acknowledged the mistake but did not apologize for the error or her tone. Overall, the service was rude and disappointing, and I would not return.

We went on a Saturday to find love music, which was an entertaining plus! Considering we were going for a brewery, we found the food options perfect for snacking or enjoying a casual dinner. Beer options on tap were of a wide variety, with us trying both sours. The fresh tart was overpowered by the Meyers lemon with none of the guava profile pulling through. The Morse was a fairly crushable cranberry "sour" that was well balanced if you needed to finish quickly as we did. Service was good with table service for the beer and food. They do payments at the table which is very convenient but did notice they're defaulted to 30% gratuity so just be aware for adjusting based on your experience if needed.
