Classy brewery with wide variety of beers, some are poured, not on tap so can't taste. Get a taste of the others because some have a unique flavor profile. The dark sour has a 'creme' after taste. The award winning Duchovini tastes just like Pilsner Urechel . Full food menu, with a mexi twist. Tots and classic bar food too. Live music... Great jazz jam session on Sunday. Table service, but can get backed up so just go to the bar and add to the tab. read more

Went here for dinner last night, this place is excellent! Very spacious, bar side and a dining side - many places to sit. The live music was great as well. Our server was quick and attentive. The drinks were great! We are not beer people, but we both found something on the menu that we liked - bf got the margarita and I got the cosmo - both were pretty good! They do not have liquor due to them being a brewery fyi. The food..... DELICIOUS!! We got the beef nachos, the beef was excellent and the chips were nice and crispy. The smash burger was juicy and flavorful, and I loved the big thick cut steak fries! The chicken taco was great as well! The standout for us was the churros. They were perfection, crispy on the outside warm and gooey on the inside. We will definitely be back! read more

Medusa Brewing Company - Breweries Near Me - Hudson, Massachusetts

Medusa Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Hudson, Massachusetts in March 2015. It was founded by business partners Keith Sullivan, Tom Sutter and brewmaster Keith Antul. The town of Hudson is a hub for craft beer enthusiasts thanks to the Horseshoe Pub & Restaurant, which has been offering great food and beer to the area since 1980. Inspired by the Horseshoe, the three partners were inspired to open their own brewery nearby. After securing a location that had previously been a hardware store, the name "Medusa" was chosen for its very strong presence and iconic nature. The partners wanted a brewery with a large taproom that had a restaurant feel. Offering a variety of different beer styles, Medusa was met with much success. In Spring 2021, the brewery added on a brick & mortar taqueria called Taco Gato, which had initially started out as a small taco stand in the beer garden the previous summer. In 2022, the partners opened Wild Hare (a café and restaurant that offers a European-inspired menu and barrel-aged beer) at The Landing at Hudson Mills nearby. I recently visited Medusa Brewing Company while I was passing through the area. I was really impressed with Hudson: a charming river town with a plethora of great restaurants. My visit happened to coincide with Medusa's 11th anniversary, so the taproom was packed during my visit. I was able to secure a seat at the bar. I ordered a taster flight that featured "Unseelie" (Hazy IPA), "Laser Kitten" (American IPA), "Laser Cat" (Double IPA), and "2021 Barrel-Aged Dectuple Hundo" (Barrel-Aged Belgian Tripel). The latter was easily my favorite. I was also a little hungry, so I ordered the "Smoked Kielbasa Platter" (smoked kielbasa sausage, toasted honey oat bread, house made dill pickles, dijon mustard) from Taco Gato, which I washed down with a full pour of "Bad Omen" (Belgian Pale Ale w/ Cherries & Raspberries). Good food, good beer, great company! I hope to be back in Hudson in the warmer months. I'm curious to try out Wild Hare next time. read more

First of all, the bartender was a self-absorbed asshole... But this place is dirty to the point where I'm embarrassed for them. The bathrooms are disgusting. We were given glasses that had some sort of shit all over them. Have a little pride in what you do... or just continue to make the place dark so no one can see the dysentery lurking in every sip... read more

The drinks are good, and the atmosphere is cool. But too many times I come here I get terrible service. The server Katie is routinely condescending, has a bad attitude, and overall just doesn't make you feel welcome when my friends and myself decide to come here. There are so many incredible staff that work there, but every time she's working it makes me not want to go there. read more

Cool place! Great friendly service! Yummy beers and food! Bartender was very friendly and engaging. We are definitely coming back and bringing more friends! read more

Soooo food is delicious. I went on a Friday around 2-3pm, it was empty so it was easy to talk to staff which were super nice and fun. However, ambience was something to be desired. Sticky floor, unclear of the sent as i walked in, ladies room seemed to have never been checked , like not even the night before . This spot is for frat boys that don't care. Beer garden is not even attached to the brewery part, not even visible from it, you have to walk to it. Weird -!: and when near it , it spells of urine and grass is dead and gross and theirs port a potties yay! I mean low key energy that time of day but looked like a night club when you turn the lights on. Other then it was aight! read more

For starters, I love the design on the cans for Laser Kitty and Soft Robot, especially! Rapid refresh was the drink that I wanted to try, but my friend let me sample his. It was not refreshing and the first drink so far in my stamp collecting that the taste went down, instead of up. Instead, I went for a Mystique (I think this one had flavors and I went with blood orange, it was a long day). Thought it was okay and sipped on that during my visit. Wanted food, which was from next door Taco Gato. The nachos was in a bowl and tasted good, just didn't like that the spicy salsa was at the bottom of the pile of chips. Alas, the last chip was drowning in it and no longer hard. I swore I ordered Chipotle BBQ wings, but we both agreed it was spicy and had a funky taste. Presumably, the server accidentally put in mango-habanero. The room was very loud when the live singer was playing. read more

I liked Medusa brewing and Taco Gato. They have an indoor taproom and the outdoor beer garden. We decided to sit outside because the weather was beautiful. They have mulch as the flooring and sunshades to keep it cool. They have free water on one side of the eating area. You place all of your order at the bar and they give you a pager to alert you when your food is ready. (There is a small paper sign above the bar stating this, but you don't really notice the sign until you go up to order a beer. I think it would be a cute touch to have a nice cute sign pointing out where to place your order). You pick up your food at taco gato food truck. Some of the beers are canned and some are on tap. I got the Gins Berg and I found it refreshing and mildly floral with juniper highlights. It paired well with the kielbasa platter. The kielbasa was very good. It's served with 4 sizable triangles of good grain bread, a hefty scoop of ground mustard and some pickles and pickled onions. My friend ordered a taco and she said it was very good, but a bit on the pricy side. She had a non-alcoholic Pilsner. It was pretty good but not her favorite. My other friends had a burger and a pretzel. The pretzel was just ok. It could have been more fluffy. It was served with a delicious beer cheese sauce and a scoop of mustard. I would go back and try some of the other brews there and just see what they are like. read more

I'm back! After a long hiatus of drunken debauchery and being rejected from the cult of Elite helpers, I'm back on the Yelp wagon. Medusa brewing is in a really nice area in the town of Hudson. I brought my girl here on a date. Live music and great beer are what stand out here. Ambience and vibes were very chill. Basically a bunch of millennials hanging out and drinking...... which is usually indicative of.... You guessed it..... tacos. The brisket tacos were fucking amazing. Come here all the time. You won't regret it. read more

Medusa Brewing Company was on my radar for a year or two now and I was very eager to try it. From a bird's eye view I liked their concepts very much which is often the selling point for me trying out new breweries. Not only is Medusa just flat out cool but my love of Greek myths was what got my attention indeed. I finally got to try their beer recently and liked it fairly well. Steve and I had two different beers from here and they were fun as well as the names and concepts of the beer solidified my fondness more. Rapid Refresh was one beer that we had. This was a citrusy wheat beer with lemon zest and orang peel. A nice, light beer with low bitterness to enjoy as summer slowly turns to fall but with enough heat present that anything heavy would be uncomfortable. The other beer was the Duchovni Pilsner. Definitely referencing the actor and the X Files this Bohemian Pilsner we really liked a lot and was our favorite out of the two and apparently an award winning favorite with the brewery staff and the customers. Steve and I weren't any exception and that was enough to bump the brewery to five stars for me. With a clean, biscuity flavors along with clean and dry aspects present this wonderful Pilsner you can easily have more than one of and may give you the resistance to withstand any stony stares because you are drinking bliss. read more

The salad was the highlight of my experience there, but its too big for the bowl it's served in so do yourself a favor and ask for a plate on the side. I also ordered a cauliflower taco which was pretty good and well cooked - not too crunchy and not too soft. There was a good selection of beer to choose from and the staff was very attentive and kind. There was incredible animal art on the wall for sale, too! read more

Spent a couple hours here for food and a few drinks. It wasn't crowded the Friday afternoon we went. The tacos were decent, I enjoyed the barbacoa taco more than the chicken. The chips that came with the guacamole were very thick and difficult to chew, wasn't very pleasant. The beers were good, good atmosphere and friendly staff. It wasn't until after we left we saw the outdoor beer garden around back! read more

The beer garden in back was fun. We ordered at the beer truck and ordered easily without any wait. They had live music and corn hole. Even our 2 year old was entertained. I loved the watermelon beer. It was crisp and refreshing- not sweet or very fruity tasting more like a watermelon essence. Great place to stop in before we headed to pizza next door. We will definitely come back. read more

We enjoyed our visit to Medusa Brewing recently. Very nice inside and they had hard seltzer's (yay!). Industrial feel to the decor and very nice servers. They are located 'town', within walking distance to a lot of restaurants. read more

I recently visited Medusa with my wife and BIL, and it was a great experience all around. Highly recommend for either food or beer. Food: we ordered the kielbasa plate, 3 of the briskets tacos, and the empanadas. The tacos had a large portion with the a lot of brisket, the kielbasa and oat bread that came with it was fantastic, and the empanadas with the Chipotle aioli had a nice kick. Service: the staff was very friendly and attentive, and the brewery had an overall relaxing vibe. Beer: solid all around. Good mix of styles including seltzers, IPAs, sours and some European styles. read more

When it comes to Central MA breweries Medusa definitely has one of the best set-ups for the summer. In addition to the taphous they have a large outdoor beer garden with plenty of seating, a permanent food truck, and live music. Medusa makes a mean West Coast style IPA which is a nice mix up from all the NE hazies. If you're looking for a chill spot to throw back a few cold ones this is definitely your place. read more

Here with family and listened to music by Mike Gorgone and now by Paul Courchaine. Both have great choices for music along with a few IPA's our choice tonight is Mangoverse, very nice flavor. Trying their chicarrón snack and it's very tasty and super crunchy excellent pair with an IPA/beer. Keep in mind the serving size is perfect for two people only. If you're in the area Stop in and give it a try. read more

We go to breweries. My husband likes the beer, I like the food and my daughter likes the games (which I didn't see here.) I am always reviewing logos since my husband always checks out the brewery gear. Cool logo hear but the one around the glass is even better! Love the local artist works on the wall but don't fall too in love with the paintings- they average around $900! We had a super nice server- rolled with our jokes. We ordered chips and salsa. The salsa had a lot of kick to it! Too much for me. The kids had pretzels that looked more like giant bagels! Super fluffy insides. They were delicious but I would suggest they invest in some cheese as opposed to a mustard. I had wo tacos; chicharron and carne asada. The chicharron was DELICIOUS!! I want more! I have been thinking about it since we left. The carne had too much meat so I started eating it before I could pick up the taco. The meat was extremely flavorful! But as a whole it jut wasn't as good as chicharron. My husband has been to this brewery before and enjoys their beer. (FYI: no kids menu and they told me on the phone they don't do cheese but there was a little on my chicharron) read more

I always Yelp for breweries when traveling for business. West of Boston was no different and Medusa popped up. Stars matter, number of Reviews matter, and being open matters. Tuesday night, many places closed but Medusa checked all the boxes. Parking in the back, Main St Hudson was banged up with construction, most of the street parking blocked. Cool vibe upon entry, and greeted by the bartender, nice. Spacious, high ceiling, just enough light. Small crowd but not surprising for a Tuesday. Grabbed a bar chair and scanned for liquids. I started with the Lora and never left. A delicious America IPA w/sessionable ABV. Made use of the Wi-Fi to catch up work from the travel/meeting day. Some people are offended by a laptop on the bar (last week's Danbury CT trip) but no grief on this sit; I have to do what I have to do. Thank you! Decided to grub before closing. Three tacos (pork, beef,chix) came with chips and salsa. Belly bomb. Plenty of food, really good! I'll probably be back for night 2 in the Hudson area, so good! read more

Pretty awesome brewery located in the downtown region. Never heard of it until a few months ago. But any brewery with a Greek mythology and theme is a must in my book. We ventured down last week shortly after opening. We rounded up a few seats at the bar and tried a few flights. I enjoyed their brews and the staff working work hard. The place got busy and filled up quickly. It's attached to a taco and good joint. Not a bad drive from home so I'll definitely be back. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Nice little place on Main Street in Hudson. Not the biggest of bars, which led to a nice feel. Waitstaff was overwhelmed, but fought real hard to keep up and check on everyone. I started with the flights, and was pleasantly impressed by the flavors I received. I also had a Mango Burst, which I also really liked. We chose to get some of the appetizers from the attached restaurant, and flavor wise were happy. They were not the biggest of appetizers, but flavors there. We really liked the stuffed plantation. They also had a live musician, who had a great voice and was entertaining read more

I went to their beer garden yesterday there was about 40 kids there yesterday. The kids were running all over, knocking into portapotties, trying to open the portpottirs doors on people. It also seemed like they were disturbing the performer. As someone above 18 with no kids, i felt too old for the environment of their beer garden. read more

I don't know. It depends on who you get as a bartender. It's a very hipster staff, but not necessarily a hipster clientele and the two can clash. Have been there about six times at different times and the staff is hit and miss. Food is hit and miss depending on the day as well. I guess you're supposed to look like Post Malone or you'll catch an attitude. I personally don't care if the person serving me has tattoos on their face, but if they have a problem with me because I don't then it's game over. It's a two way street. Especially if you're running a business. read more

Was a happy to be an early visitor of the new expansion location on Broad street. Tucked up on the 3rd floor of large brick building, I didnt expect the warm, inviting atmosphere that I met. They have created a very welcoming space with plenty of seating, well distanced, nice lighting, music, and a decent selection of brews. I was a bit disappointed they had no stouts or porters ready, which are my favorite, but I like to experiment too, so that was ok. I also got the nachos with pulled pork and they were very tasty. The pork could have used a bit more sauce or seasoning IMO, maybe a squirt of BBQ sauce would help. The staff was amazingly friendly and have gone over the top to make people feel safe. Frankly you are probably safer at Medusa than at home! Lol For beers I liked the Squiffy Vicar best. Low IBU very smooth with great carbonation and enough complexity to make it enjoyable. They also offer other drink options like wine, seltzer and even hot chocolate! read more

Kind of confusing when you walk in, they need a sign but you seat yourself and they have wait staff for the tables. It was already hopping on a Saturday at 530. Had good service at the bar but not super friendly, they were more interested in cleaning. I did like my helles style beer and the cream beer was good too. Great prices. Definitely order a soft pretzel and the mustard of the day to go with your beer. read more

Great vibe! Beer was very good and service was friendly and prompt! Burger was great!

Was super excited to finally try this place. The inside is really nice plus there was live music. However as starving as I was the waitress never came back to take our food order. We opened a tab to order drinks and half an hour passed and she avoided eye contact every time she passed our table. The food looked super good too so we were really disappointed. Not sure if we were missing something or what. Ended up just leaving and going elsewhere. **not saying I expect quick service on a Friday evening but even a quick "hey we're backed up but I'll get to you as soon as I can" would have been nice. read more

Went here for the first time last week, and had a GREAT time. I have been to quite a few breweries and like to try a few different offerings to get a feel for their stuff. Usually I like 50-75% of the ones I try (style and type of course can factor in). I loved 100% of the brews I tried (a flight with 4 kinds to sample and then their biggest mug of the "Empyrial" ...ITS A BIG MUG) . Also the vibe and service were great. Warm and attentive even though it was a very busy night. The care they put into sanitizing the glassware alone let's you know you're in the right place. We were treated well by every staff-person we encountered. The food comes from the taco stand linked to the bar, and was very good too! I would come here to drink again and again and I guess my only gripe was that they closed so early! I wanted more! Definitely check this place out , Hudson is such a nice town and this place has its best beer! read more
