    Our entire group loved the tour and locations
    Angelica S.

    Our group came out from San Diego during the St. Patrick's Day weekend. Bill was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! His knowledge and enthusiasm about the local breweries, his dedication to the people behind the breweries and his love of Boston was beautiful and refreshing. Bill could answer all of our questions, get us through town avoiding the St. Paddy's traffic and provide history of the area. THE BEST CITY BREW TOUR I HAVE EVER TAKEN!!! Thank you Bill for a wonderful experience! We will return to visit Boston and hopefully get a chance to see Bill again

    Steve (who is also a local teacher) was a great guide, and the tour was a good mix of beer & beer history. Our tour took us to 3 smaller breweries just north of Boston. Highly recommend!

    Big thanks to Adrian for our New Year's Eve tour! In addition to having a great sense of humor, Adrian was accommodating of everyone in our group. We live locally and loved touring some of the best local breweries!

    Went on City Brew Tour in Boston yesterday as part of a group outing and had a great time. Andy, our tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly. He was also great at fielding any questions we had regarding the tour. The three breweries we stopped at: Night Shift, Bone Up Brewing, Democracy Brewing were all different but fun places to try beer at. Overall I had a great time and would recommend it to others.

    Down the Road was funktastic

    Chase Gerold- legendary. Had such a good time, learned so much, and tasted so good. I've never felt more productive drinking and learning at some of Boston's coolest breweries. Consider Boston traffic into the mix as far as the timing of your tour. It wasn't too bad and Chase reacted quickly with dinner reservations and passed the time with some interesting history/processes. We'll be back! They partner with some of the best breweries and offer you a growing discount.

    This tour popped up in google searching for something to do while in Boston for the weekend and I'm so glad it did. To be honest, I'm not much of a beer drinker but the person I was traveling with loves it so I went along for the ride. We did the five hour original tour and our tour guide Mark was incredible. He made for a fun, inviting atmosphere and was an absolute wealth of beer history and information. We went to Samuel Adams, a large brewery and received a formal tour and tasting in a large group which was great. From there we went to Chelsea Station for a delicious lunch and beer pairing. Our next stop was Slumbrew, a small brewery with a fascinating history. Our final stop was Down the Road Brewery, a place with a great atmosphere and fun experimental flavors! This was a fantastic way to spend a day and I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone, even if you aren't a big beer drinker.

    Great beer selection, solid food options and an excellent staff…read more Interior space was quite crowded with minimal to no space at the tables and bar...even on a Monday early evening. I would expect the outdoor space would come in handy once the weather warms up. Conveniently located right off of Seaport Blvd. surrounded by some other good food and dessert options. Lots of parks in the area, including Fan Pier Park, which offers some spectaculay views of the Boston Skyline...particularly after dark. Metered Street Parking was actually manageable, especially in the later post 6-pm midweek hours in the Fort Hill Square Area. Meters are in effect through 8pm with a 2-hour maximum, so if you arrive after 6pm and feed the meter until 8pm, you are all set for the night! The South Station (Red) T Station is also nearby. Both options are a short walk to Fan Pier Park. There are also lots of garages available in the immediate area as well.

I got 5 oz pours of all of their IPA's and was in heaven. The Really Big Bird and Galaxy Cutting Ties were amongst my favorites. I wanted to try multiple stouts but unfortunately most of their pastry stouts were not on tap. They were only in 18.5-ounce bottles so I could only order one. I got the Macaroon Macaroon, which was a collab with Veil Brewing in Richmond VA (another phenomenal brewery that I have been to). It was dessert in a glass. I had the lady friend with me, or I would have opened and closed this place that or passed out in the corner. I was in heaven. She ordered some spinach and artichoke dip but I don't remember it. It was filler as far as I was concerned. This place isn't about the food; it's about their amazing beer.

The place has a really fun vibe -- coffee shop in the morning and brewery in the evening. The hostess was super friendly and got us seated in a nice dry spot in the back where we could admire all the brewing equipment. Live music started while we were there, adding more energy to the atmosphere. There's also an upstairs area that looked like a great place to hang out. The food looked fantastic, and my wife was especially excited to see they had a gluten-free dessert option. They offered a huge variety of freshly brewed beers -- IPAs, pilsners, sours -- something for everyone. They also had several non-alcoholic options, which was nice to see. I enjoyed a few half beers along with an order of guacamole, and my wife had the flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was delicious. The service was great, the beer was cold and fresh, and the atmosphere made it such a fun place to relax for a while. Definitely a great spot to grab a few drinks and hang out!

The way these people handled the large crowd when they weren't expecting much of one for 3 hours was amazing. The brewery has 2 floors with multiple bars with taps and they were running full speed ahead. We found a couple of seats upstairs and I walked up to one of the bars and ordered a few 4-5 oz pours. Their hazies were really good especially Runner's High and Cloud Candy. While we were sitting there, we ordered a few apps; a hummus plate and some hot honey Brussel sprouts. They both came out fast and were tasty. The beer and food were both good, but the service was even better. The Mighty Squirrel is a well oiled machine.

    Very unique tour and a great area to simply show up and have some drinks!…read more We came to the brewery early for our Cheese and Beer experience. We sat on the outdoor patio with a beer (both of us got a beer that isn't sold in our area at home). When the weather is nice, they have a lot of outdoor seating to sit and relax. They carry a lot of the Sam Adams catalog of beers, so when you're ordering, step aside if you're struggling to decide when looking at the menu board! Our beer and cheese tour was awesome! Jacob was very informative and also very funny too. The experience we picked was a bit smaller and more focused than the walking tour through the brewery. We were happy with this one because we got to try some beers that are not widely released to the public with a pairing of great cheeses too. Sitting in the barrel storage part of the warehouse was a pretty cool experience too.

There are also some seating options outside in the front of the brewery. There are also a few food options, but only available on certain days as the kitchen was NOT open on the day I visited. The store is big with lots of items you'd expect including clothing, glasses and mugs and other souvenir-like items. There is also a wide variety of take-home beers. Parking lot with adequate spaces on a weekday evening...not sure how crowded it gets during peak weekend hours.
