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 best part was the art. They are known as the "Museum of Bad Art" which I have seen on Facebook before. Haha. They have an attached BBQ restaurant. I wish I could say that was a great experience but the brewery closes at 10 and the BBQ place at 8. Which wasn't clear online. So when we arrived and went to order, they were out of most things. Like fries and Mac and cheese. But you also couldn't substitute these items and they couldn't adjust the price. We also only have 5 minutes to order. Since we were starving we ended up gulping down our beers and going back to the hotel for dinner. Definitely a disappointment. Just keep that in mind when you come. You also have to order your food at one counter and your beer at another. There is no wait staff.

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.

Suits me just fine as it gave me time to chat it up with the bartender. As more patrons arrived we enjoyed the friendly bar banter that ensued. The rich voice and great tunes by solo guitar player Ken Snow made the time even more enjoyable. I am a big fan of pairing music to drinking and the combination of great beers and tunes made for a 5 star experience. From the outside the space doesnt look that large but after you enter you come into a nice size and comfortable tap room with a good number of tables. The tanks and apparatus are in the back warehouse section not visible to patrons. A couple of TV's made watching the Sox game possible. I noticed a lot of breweries dont have TV's I think the cost is prohibitive and some bars say they want to promote patrons conversing like in the old days before tv. Not sure but to me a TV can fill in dead time and if there is an important event why not enjoy a brew and watch some. On the whole the beer was tasty. They had 10 beers on tap. A pretty solid if not standard line up. I started with the Hoppy Patriot and Deep End in the 2 flight sampler. Both beers are good. Then I tasted the Money Line before getting a pint to get the IPA's out of the way. It's a hazy New England brew that hits the spot. It was my favorite. One thing I noticed is that for the whole lineup the ABV's are on the lighter side if you call 7.0 for the Deep End light LOL Anyways we stayed for awhile more enjoying the music and beer and then had to head toward home with a last stop at Shovel Towns new beer garden in downtown Brockton. Not doing a review on that but its a pretty large outdoor spot with a stage and there was a reggae band playing. Decent crowd too. Great job by Shovel Town to get the beer stand there! Only open weekend nights I believe. if you find yourself in that area it's a clean safe oasis and I hope it leads to more renovations in the area.

Since it was gloomy outside, I appreciated that I could place my pizza order at the bar, and they would deliver it to me inside. They were pretty busy, it took about 30 minutes for my pizza to arrive. I understand their pizza is of a style I was unfamiliar, "South Shore" style. It features a fairly crispy crust, more so along the edges, and the toppings are mixed in with the sauce. I don't think the cheese was mozzarella. The pizzas they provide are essentially medium in size, 8-slices. What was interesting was that the crust became firmer as the pizza cooled. The majority of their pizzas are meat/omnivore; I ordered the one meatless option this evening, an onion and peppers combo with mushrooms for an additional $1. The pizza was fine, well made, and I finished it (with help), but it wasn't my preferred style of pizza. I'd certainly try them again, perhaps with something like pepperoni instead.
