Like many breweries, you can go taste everything they have to offer in a very laid-back, conversational atmosphere with some of the staff. The actual beer is better than most. The Bleach Blonde Ale is a favorite. You can also get growers for the road, and they emphasize the use of local vendors / ingredients. I like supporting places that can get me drunk in a socially-responsible manner. read more

There's something for everyone here, and at $5 a tasting, it makes for a fun and cheap diversion. We had the benefit of a slow Friday afternoon in February, but I can imagine that the place gets very busy during the on-season. Everyone we interacted with at Cape Cod Beer was friendly and knowledgeable, and we had a nice time perusing the local crafts for sale while enjoying the sizeable beer samples. My husband and I were able to try almost everything on tap by ordering different samples and sharing them. I particularly liked the porter. As others have noted, growlers are reasonably priced. read more

We just missed the tour, so we just kind of wandered around the one beer-making room and stood around waiting for someone to acknowledge that I was waiting for a sample. Tried the blonde. Meh, not great. Good rainy day activity, I suppose. read more

Popped in for an impromptu tasting and they were throwing an Octoberfest party! Live music, tasty brews ($5 for 5 samples!) food, AND they're dog-friendly so needless to say, I loved this place. I only wish I had my pooches with me - nothing beats a good brew with your besties. Definitely a worth a visit if you're vacationing on the Cape or if you're a year-rounder. read more

Cape Cod Beer is a small brewery with a lot of local flavor. We went to the Saturday afternoon "tour" and we're joined by about 30 others. One of the owners took us from the storefront to the brewing floor and gave us a detailed account of how beer is made and how their equipment takes it from water to keg. While she talked, she passed around malts of different roast levels for us to taste and hops to look at. Another employee also walked around giving samples of their four available beers. We didn't walk around at all, but the brewery was so small we didn't need to. The detailed explanation of the beer-making process and the interspersed history and focus of the company were entertaining! We bought some of the Hot (Pepper) Blond to have for Cinco de Mayo ... Very unique and good only if you really like chile peppers. read more

Place gets better and better every time I visit from Buffalo NY. From the beer tasting, snacks, games to play and the Yappy hour where customers are encouraged to bring their dogs in !! The servers are friendly and knowledgeable about the brews they are serving. Always a fun time!! read more

Free samples of beer - yay! The tour was pretty educational for newbies like myself to brewing. The employees all seem to really love working there and they seem to be very supportive of other local businesses in the area. You probably won't spend more than an hour here though (if you're trying to plan out an itinerary). read more

Beer was cheap but well made. Great activities for everyone!! Love the blonde and porter.

Their Saturday afternoon tour (1:00pm) was very informative and included 4 samples of beer - all very tasty! The tour lasts about an hour and is free, so stop here if you're looking for something to do. read more

this review is about the Christmas Chocolate Peppermint Porter. For $15 a bottle I was expecting a big wow taste but it just tasted like their Porter which is very good. I didn't even notice a hint of chocolate Peppermint.. so you might as well save money and just buy their Porter or Leinenkuegles Vanilla Snowdrift Porter which tastes as it says or UBU's chocolate espresso stout. Feel like I paid for the attractive bottle and the Christmas hype. read more

Wow, you guys should have taken advantage of the rainy Saturday! Place was jammed but no beer served at2:50, we didn't realize they closed at 3 but wow, you were turning away a lot of people! The pourer said she couldn't serve anymore but she could tell us where to go! No thanks, I can tell you where to read more

It seems like all the other people who visited this brewery had a much more positive experience than I did, so I hope this was just a fluke. I went with my friends the Saturday after Labor Day, and not one of the seven of us spoke highly of it after leaving. The beer: The porter was solid. I have to give them that. It was a little thin on the body, but it was the end of the summer, so I can't complain about that. Taste and aroma were spot-on. The beach blonde was...a blonde. Maybe 7/10. I've had some good blondes (Eureka from Tree House comes to mind), but this was OK. Some good malty flavor with a light body to be sure. The Harvest was unanimously disliked, in such a way that I wonder if it was a bad batch, because in addition to the usual smokiness I was getting aromas of wet dog and cardboard, and the flavor was complex to the point of being confusing. The IPA was disappointing for an IPA lover. Essentially nothing on the nose, and plenty of bitter hang without any of the complex fruity, citrusy, or piney notes that usually drive the front and middle of an IPA's taste. Didn't try the red, because all the non-porters convinced me I should cut my losses and go back to the porter to leave on a tasty note. I hear generally good things from friends, though. There was Barefoot Wine for sale as well. That actually hurt me a little. I don't really like that a brewery that is part of on organization (Massachusetts Brewers Guild) that puts "DRINK LOCAL" on all their cards, shirts, mugs, and publications, would sell wine shipped across the country from the largest wine exporter in California. The service: The line control was deeply confusing. Our whole group lined up behind a customer making a purchase on the right, short side of the bar as you enter, only to have the bartender then ignore us while serving 4 or 5 straight customers on the long side of the same bar right next to us. Admittedly, we could have been more assertive, but once our first "excuse me" was ignored, we decided to shrug our shoulders and merge into the line that was then out the door. (Guys behind us were super-nice and let us cut our losses and merge after seeing what happened.) Once we got our first tasting and finished them off at our seats, we went back in to learn that they had opened another tap bar on the other side of the tasting room. Awesome! We split up for a little friendly competition to see which one would be faster, only to have one group return when the original bar was closed. As we walked out, both bars were open again, and I started to get confused. On our way out that bar re-opened and they served some other patrons. By the end, I counted three times that the woman tending bar at the original bar left her post, at a certain point putting up a sign that the bar was CLOSED about 15 minutes before the tasting room itself supposedly closed. None of this was communicated in the usual boisterous cattle call that I've come to expect for crowded brewery announcements, though it was the end of a long day, and probably the end of a longer week, so the lack of energy was understandable. The place: Not bad at all. A couple high-tops on the inside, picnic bench next to the brewing floor, and bunch of nice picnic benches outside. You can even play cornhole by the benches. My only major complaint would be the flow issue mentioned earlier. It is unclear where people are supposed to go for tastings, as there are signs in multiple locations of their selections, but nothing saying "order here" or "tastings this way" with some arrows. Those would go a long way. Also when it got crowded, and both bars were open, they were still forced through a single choke point on the way out to the benches around various store items like T-shirts and doggie treats (which are super cool by the way--their store had some nice things for sure). Sorry about the novel, but I don't like giving 1- or 2-star reviews without good explanation. Really hope that experience was mostly a fluke. read more

My sister and I are vacationing in Cape Cod and decided to do the beer tasting. It was amazing! $5 for 5 beers and you get to keep the glass. Inside there are tables and they have games and cards that you can play while enjoying your beer. They also sell homemade sodas and wine for the non beer drinkers. I also love that they are dog friendly! read more

Had fun visiting this brewery. Enjoyed several of their offerings, loved a few and didn't like a couple - but that is why we did the 3 oz tastings. There was definitely something for everyone! Casual and fun atmosphere. read more

The beers were excellent, pleasant staff, with three areas to sit...a large open space in the warehouse, a couple of tables in the gift shop area, and an outdoor tent space. Unfortunately, according to the signage, dogs are no longer allowed in the main large warehouse space. Highly recommend! read more

cape cod beer is awesome. I can't wait to go there every summer and fill up my growlers. of course there are multiple trips each summer. the old man winter, summer, red and IPA are great. The tour is also great. Went last summer. great way to spend some time. this is a hardworking small business, the people are so friendly. the tour gives you lots of free samples. read more

Great thing to do on a rainy Cape day. Interesting. Free samples. Friendly down to earth staff. Tour and tasting took about an hour+/-. Huge parking lot. Cute little gift shop. read more

Went there on a rainy day, and it was PACKED! The tour was very interesting, it is only held on Tuesday and Saturday at certain time, so check their website. It was really interesting, it is a small brewery, so don't expect anything huge and elaborate. They pretty much march you into their warehouse and you stand in the same spot the entire time. The free samples are good, and you can buy beer directly from them, SUPER FRESH! read more

the beer is so delicious (i loved the beach blonde ale!!!). this was my second time in this summer and lots of fun both times. it costs $5 per person to sample 5 beers, which is awesome. you also get a cool sampling glass! there is outside seating with music playing and cornhole set up to play. the store inside has cool merchandise and other local items for purchase. you can also buy pints for $5 or full growlers for $13 (and refills are only $8 every time!!). the staff has been really friendly both times. we loved the beer so much we bought a growler and ordered the cape cod beers at the local pubs for the rest of the trip!! read more

Took a tour a few years back. Basically just one big room with a souvenir shop. The beer is pretty good and I always grab a growler or two when on the cape. read more

A fun way to spend a cloudy day ! We got there for the tour at 11 (more of a talk than a tour). The girl that gave our tour was funny and sarcastic and did a great job of keeping us engaged. You can sample 5 beers for $6 which is definitely the move. You get to keep your glass ! My favorite was the Narrowlands. Fun environment with lots of smiling people, kids, and dogs ! read more

I've never had Cape Cod beer before this trip, but I'm an instant fan of the Red and the Blonde. Plus, it doesn't hurt that they give tours on the weekend. read more

Small brewery, however, very friendly staff and the beer was good as well. If in Cape Cod you have to stop and support this local brewery.

What a great place! Easy to find right off the main drag. The building looks sort of lackluster from the out side. Upon walking in you find a warehouse feel with some great gift items and really pretty non cheesy cape cod souvenirs all locally made. We missed the tour but the staff was super friendly my hubs got to taste some great beer. We left with two growlers and two fun t-shirts. Also we had our 1 year old son with us and it was very kid friendly. No Weird looks at all. In fact there was even an little kids corner in the gift shop area to keep little tikes busy. We will be back sans child for a tour soon! :) read more

Had a great time on the self guided tour! The guy working went out of his way to explain everything and help us. I will drink Cape Cod Beer every time I'm on the cape now. read more

Definitely recommend if you are vacationing around the brewery. Super casual and laid back. The tasting is $5 and we got 4 tokens and a mini tasting glass to take home. The staff was friendly and even offered local dinner recommendations. The only thing to note is its really not a tour. You stand In part of their brewing facility and they explain the process. Still one of our favorite brewery tours! Once the "tour" is over the turn up the music and have picnic tables and games for you to hang out. Great for large group of friends or family looking for a fun afternoon outing. We will definitely go back! read more

Great little brewery. The tour is well worth the money. Friendly staff, interesting beers. Only distribute within 50 miles of brewery. Definitely something to check out when in the area. read more

Awesome beer and even better service and hospitality! We stopped through here on our drive through MA and loved all of the beers that we tried. Due to bad weather, our sightseeing plans changed and one of our bartenders was kind enough to give us her personal favorites and recommendations for food and sightseeing in the area. She even went above and beyond to print us out a map, and mark points of interest for the remainder of our weekend. Would definitely recommend Cape Cod Beer to locals and tourists alike! read more

Fun little brewery and tour. It's not really a tour, it's more of a talk, but they were quite friendly. The tastings are well worth the money, and the beer is GOOD. We enjoyed it very much, and it was a nice rainy day activity. read more

Good beer, great staff, free tasting and a dog! What more could you want from a local brewery?

I'm disappointed in cape cod beer this time around. I had come a few times in the early years and loved it. I would always buy a growler and hang out for awhile and my husband and I had bought souvenirs from there. (T-shirts , glasses) This time, (sat 2/22/20) I brought my visually impaired friend to try it. We were at the counter doing a beer tasting and brad who works there asked us to not stand there and we moved back. This made it tricky for us because that meant I had to bring the drinks to my friend whom like I said is visually impaired. Nothing to lean on for her either. And what frustrated me was there was a man who appeared to be a regular sitting at the same bar talking to Brad this whole time (the whole 30 minutes bc we were there , he sat there) yet we were asked to move. In the past, there has been no issue about standing at the bar for the tasting .. especially because there is no print out of beers you are trying . The list of beers you are trying is large and it's hard to keep track of what you like if you can't stand at the bar and see the large paper taped to the bar that lists the descriptions of the beers .. this was particularly challenging for me trying to tell my friend about the beers who like I said was visually impaired. Lauren was wonderful though and let me try the blonde beer a couple of times bc I was having trouble finding a beer I liked. Customer service was sub par by Brad. He kept waking away even when our sample glasses were empty. I realize that sat is a busy time but in the past we have gotten wonderful customer service and were attended to. Lauren checked on us as she could. Im disappointed as cape cod beer was a favorite and a traditional stop for me when visiting the area . read more

While the 'tour' is just standing in their one main room (warehouse) and listening to one of the employees talk about the business, she was funny, engaging, and encouraged us to drink samples while we listened. Each tasting is $1 but they're not small and a full size beer is only $5. They also have benches with board games and corn hole boards outside if you want to hang out and drink. This was a really fun place to visit! read more

You can go for a free tasting of their beers. A very small operation and easy to miss the entrance. The staff is friendly and a good way to get some free beer. read more

Great place to come for some beer and some fun entertainment! I loved that it was only $5 to taste five beers, and they were big pours. The beers were delicious, but there were also board games, clothing l corn hole, and foosball to keep you entertained. Great spot! read more

Free samples if you take the tour. It was only like an hour. They have a cute little store to shop around, people filling their jugs again with more beer. I got some of the dark beer to go to drink in our timeshare, I liked it. I'd say give Cape Cod Beer a try if you aren't stuck on some large name brand and you are open to trying different types of beers. read more

A Cape Cod staple, especially for rainy days. The place was PACKED but service was still quick and the drinks are always good. Not sure about the number of people bringing little ones (I mean there's corn hole but it's still a place intended for alcohol consumption? Yes? No?), but by and large a great visit. Love that there's a food truck parked outside too. read more

Love the Cape Cod Red. Pick up a growler and bring it home to enjoy. Wish they had this beer in some bars in NY.

Was not expecting to find this awesome brewery during my visit to Cape Cod. For $5 you get a glass and 5 large samples. On Fridays they have a farmer's market next to the brewery. Good beer, very friendly staff and great atmosphere (board games to play while you enjoy your beer). read more

As I am not a fan of beer too much I have to say this is the BEST brewery I have been to! I liked every one of the five beers I tasted. I have been to other breweries and I only end up liking one maybe two if I'm lucky if the selection. It's priced very nice at $5 per tasting with 5 beers at 3oz each. Plus they let you keep the little glasses with their logo. They have a free tour once they're open and the guy was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning about the brewing process. Inside they have a very cool gift shop with shirts, hoodies, glassware, etc. also they have a bunch of tables set up inside where they have a big shelf with games to play. Outside also has tables with bean bag toss too! Playing jams and games while enjoying a cold one. What could be better? Will be returning next time I'm in the cape for sure! read more

The Only brewery in Cape cod so I have a soft spot. Will you find award winning brews? No. But they have corn hole and on a nice sunny day it could be a great time to get a feel for the locals. I saw many of them. read more
