What a GREAT find! Not sure if many tourists can find this…read moreplace, 1 mile out of the way; but worth the visit in my opinion. Quality/Quantity - ESB, closest they had to a red and it fulfilled my needs. Atmosphere - Cool decor and art. See pictures. There is also an arcade here, but it was closed when we arrived. Indoor/outdoor spaces. Dog friendly. Full service or a to-go area. Open 7 days a week from noon until 8pm, 10pm, or midnight. See picture. Yelp's and their website's hours differ slightly. Service - 6 stars. Sorry, I forgot his name, as it has been almost 3 months since I visited. Yes, I am very behind on my Yelps due to my extensive travels. He was so patient, a GREAT ambassador of the brand. Sampled a few beers for me, etc. He even offered and brought out a blanket for my wife when he noticed she was cold and I prefer to sit outside rather than inside. Thank you again! Price - Reasonable price + generous tip, especially since we are out of the tourist areas. Owner Suggestion - Congrats on your success since 1997 with our 4+ locations and since 2013 with this location. I am so glad that John's (the founder) first beer was the ESB which was the one I got.

You can tell the owners genuinely care about the experience. The space was spotless, and I have to mention the bathrooms because they were exceptionally clean, which always stands out to me. The whole place also had this subtle scent of campfire and pine that gave it a cozy, warm atmosphere without feeling overdone. If you're looking for a clean, welcoming local bar in Bedford with a great craft beer selection, friendly service, and a unique vibe, this place is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back.

Finally popped into this local pub early on a June Friday afternoon. It's a bright, attractive,…read moreairy space, with plenty of seating, including a small patio overlooking the car park. There's a full selection of wines, spirits and liqueurs, but the hook is the large (36) selection of local beers and ciders, advertised on the large board behind the bar. Apparently they rotate the selection on a regular basis, so there will definitely be something for everyone. No food, aside from the standard bar snacks, though they are entirely happy for you to bring stuff in and there are several decent establishments in the plazas either side of Brookline. It's a real community pub too, with a busy programme of music, comedy, quiz nights etc. Definitely need to check it out on a busy evening to get an idea of the vibe and maybe add the fifth star.

Made a reservation for a tour on Saturday at 1pm. It was a full tour and was great fun. Some have…read moresaid the tour wasn't very good. But i thoroughly enjoyed this historic brewery and their history. Several tastes were included and ended in a "pub" for a Scottish gathering and a couple more samples. Got to try a new beer-Cherry lime Gose. A great time and at 100$ for three people it was a reasonable price.

I have bought craft beer from the cool fridge here too, and like looking at all the different kinds of beer, from all around the world. We tried a nice beer on vacation in France and I was happy to see that they sell the same beer here too. And to my surprise, today I found out they have free cardboard boxes at the front of the store near the window. I was so happy! I have been in so many stores in BL looking for cardboard boxes to mail parcels in, and the other stores mainly tell me, no sorry, we crush them down right away. Here at the BL NSLC, I could take my pick from about 30 boxes, the size that can hold 12 wine bottles. Thanks! I enjoy your store!
