Love Trillium's beer, but the experience in Canton was a huge letdown. Avoid in summer -- they're completely unprepared for busy nights. One long, slow line for everything -- drafts, four-packs, all of it -- with barely any staff. They know these nights will be packed, yet make no effort to staff properly or open more bars. Great beer, but poor planning. read more

amazing out door area huge felid and 3 food truuks one of them is ice cream good good.

We spent our Fourth of July afternoon here. It was a wonderful outdoor space with plenty of seating, and a large selection of beer and food. Everything was good and reasonably priced, and the service was attentive. It was a perfect afternoon. They serve tacos here during the weekday, and barbecue here during the weekend. We had the barbecue, which was exceptional. They had a smoker and grill nearby where they did the hard work. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more

This is an excellent brewery! We're on a beer road trip and this was one of our favorite stops. First, there is plenty of parking which is nice. Second, the location is massive. We sat outside at their large patio. There were probably 50 other people there, but since the patio is so big we had plenty of space. Finally, the outside seating is very scenic and calming. We had an awesome afternoon sitting outside and sipping on some beer. The beer is very high quality. I got the Congress Street IPA and the wife got Swishium. Both beers were awesome and were some of the best we have ever had. After such a great experience, we stopped by the merch shop for some beers to go and some merch. We chatted with Jeff for a while about the brewery and the company. Jeff was a legend and was super helpful and personable. It's sad because I'm not from Massachusetts I won't be back for a while, but next time I'm in town I will 100% be coming back to Trillium. 5 out of 5 stars! P.S. I like this brewery better than Tree House read more

Love this location. Always fun environment with lots of different styles on tap. Also a nice kitchen and to go selection!

Came here after hiking at Blue Hills which is only a couple minutes drive away. Since we arrived when they opened, we got seated right away. The place is huge indoors and outside; everything looked clean. Music was current to 2000s pop. Once it started to fill up it got a bit noisy to the point where you can't hear the music at times. Our waiter was friendly, nice and checked in often except when it got busier he was pulled away. But not a big problem since we were in no rush and taking our time with the day. Overall the food was delicious but a bit overpriced, especially $10 for the single warm soft pretzel. Didn't seem worth it in my opinion. Standard pretzel, nothing the would stand out from other soft pretzels. Was also surprised for how fancy some of the dishes were. Had expected bar food quality but pleasantly surprised otherwise. My favorite dish was the bluefish pate. The bread has a nice char and looks like it's be crunchy crusty but it's soft over all. It's basically like eating tuna fish sandwich but this was delicious and looks good too. The pizza was good, and the watermelon salad was refreshing. Beers were good too but a bit pricey. Would come back again to try the other dishes or have some drinks. read more

This is my second time to Trillium! Didn't disappoint for sure. Great beer, amazing food, good staff, and the space inside and out is amazing! They have so many beers in bottle, can, and on tap that it won't disappoint if you're a craft beer drinker. It's a little pricey so take note, for us this is a quarterly or biannual drive. Fridays and Saturdays are extremely busy with wait times around 45-60 minutes for a table or you could grab a high top or bar space if you're lucky. It's worth it! We will be back in a few months for sure read more

First time here and I was blown away with the ambiance the beer and the food! The grilled chicken Cesar was the best I have ever had. The thin crust pizza was delicious. The service by Julia was engaging. She brought me 2 samples after explaining what I was looking for. I'll be back! read more

Good beer, slow food service. Unfortunately this place feels like a daycare with all the unsupervised kids running around/screaming/sitting on tables. It's a shame cause this brewery used to be great at their former location. read more

First of all this place is beyond massive. Big big. They have a huge gift shop with merch and drinks to go and indoor vs outdoor seating. Outside the tables are massive and there's a great grassy area. Very kid friendly-dare I say tiny children outnumbered adults around noon on a Sunday! The beers and drinks were great, live for how big of a selection there is. The food is ehhh. Chicken sandwich and Caesar salad were great but the pizza with vegan cheese and the smash burger weren't so good. On both the cheese was the issue-the vegan cheese was a not yummy or appealing sort of tofu crumble just crumbled on top of the marinara. Couldn't finish it. Also the beer cheese on the smashburger, while great for a brewery theme, was overpowering for the burgers flavor. Fries also were really very good and the waitress was super. Just be weary of the cheese choices being made but in general really good, great time!! The ice cream is also a huge plus! read more

Food was awesome and our server, Cooper, was the best! Would definitely go back again. Great place

Trillium Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in Boston, Massachusetts in March 2013. It was founded by husband and wife JC and Esther Tetreault. JC homebrewed for several years and eventually the couple had a dream to create a lifestyle and experiences through the lens of a modern New England farmhouse-inspired brewery. JC was a 'botany nerd' and chose the name "Trillium" after a flower. They opened their brewery and taproom at 369 Congress Street in Boston's Fort Point neighborhood with only three employees and the support of family, friends and the community. Trillium gained a loyal following at an alarming rate. By December 2015, they opened a second larger facility in Canton in order to dramatically increase production. Trillium Garden on the Greenway (a seasonal beer garden) opened in Boston's Waterfront district in 2017. The brewery then moved the original Congress Street location a few blocks away to a new 3-story restaurant and brewing facility on Thomson Place in 2018. Also in 2018, a farm was purchased in North Stonington, Connecticut. It has yet to open to the public, but the plan is to turn it into a farmhouse brewery destination. The following year, another taproom opened in Boston's Fenway Park area. I visited Trillium's Canton facility this past Monday. I previously visited the Canton facility in April 2018, but that location no longer exists. Trillium moved the Canton facility from Shawmut Road to an old Reebok campus on Royall Street and it officially opened in July 2021. So technically, this was my first time visiting the NEW Canton facility. This new location was absolutely beautiful! My two-year-old son was with me and even he was impressed. I picked up some beer-to-go in the taproom first: "Double Dry Hopped Green Street" (New England IPA and collaboration with Brooklyn's Other Half Brewing), "Double Dry Hopped Vicinity" (Double IPA), and "Endless: Cacao" (Imperial Stout). We took a look in the on-site restaurant which had huge wood-fired pizza ovens, but alas it's only open Wednesday-Sunday. We next went into the beer garden. Trillium brews a variety of styles but they are most well-known for their super juicy, hoppy and hazy IPAs. I enjoyed some draught pours of "Double Dry Hopped Summer Street" (IPA) and "Scaled Up" (Double IPA); both were fantastic! My son and I enjoyed exploring the beer garden, which had actual garden planters with various herbs, fruits and vegetables growing (possibly for beer). Trillium is easily one of my favorite breweries in the world! I'll definitely be back to the Canton facility; I need to try that pizza! read more

EDIT: Charles reached out and definitely went above and beyond to try and make things right - can't be too upset when a place does so. Gave my feedback and I'm willing to give them another try. Definitely switched my opinion on what was originally a pretty meh service experience to an above-par one, updating my score from 2 to 4. Went here on 8/19/22 for a birthday and got 4 beers, 1 app, 2 personal pizzas, and 1 tacos entree for $105.93 after tax before tip. This was a good amount of food for 3 (I think we took 2 slices ie. 1/3 of a pizza to go, everyone was full at the end). First off, this is not an indictment of the beer here - the beer is WORLD CLASS. That being said, this is Yelp and not Untappd, so I'm rating the entire experience. The space is huge - really clean, not too too loud (weirdly enough, the place wasn't too busy on a Friday night - maybe because of the Patriots preseason game?). We grabbed a high top - these are first come first serve, the tables require you to be seated by a host/hostess (do note that reservations are for parties of 6+ only!). After about 10 minutes (and about 20 servers walking past), one of them finally thought to give us some water and an extra menu instead of having the 3 of us looking at a single one. We put in drinks and got them back quickly enough, then put in our order. I've been here 3 times now, having come the week they opened, one other time to give them a second change, and now this time. I WANT this place to have better food, but every time it just falls short of average. This time, the pretzel we got was pretty dry and tasteless and the pizzas were pretty burnt. Somehow, this Trillium location manages to use fresh farm ingredients and turn them into mediocrity. A couple redemption points for the tacos - plenty of meat on them and a not-too-sweet-not-too-salty-just-right BBQ sauce gave them a couple points for food. What's even more disappointing is that the food in the Seaport location is pretty solid. I LOVE the beer here, by far my favorite brewery. But the only thing that saves this Canton location is these drinks - and yes, those are absolutely the best IPAs/sours/seltzers that money can buy in the Boston area. Come here for the drinks, skip the food. read more

Atmosphere is a relaxed with a fun, industrial vibe. Food we have tried has been their woodfired pizzas (which are impeccable), as well as they are smoked chicken wings (Absolutely delicious). We tend to sit at the bar, and our service was not only quick, but were given personal recommendations by the bartender, which were fantastic. Looking forward to our return... read more

Stopped by on a warm November Saturday with a friend. Luckily, we got our choice of outdoor seats since we came before the rush. We stood in the draft bar line (only 2 parties ahead of us) and took our beers outside to a circle of adirondack chairs. The sun was shining and folks seemed to be having a good time - kids running around on the grass, old school hip hop playing from the speakers (explicit versions, fyi), people drankin'. We both started with pilsners and they were nice and light - perfect for the day. We then went inside to put our name in for the restaurant. While there were plenty of open tables, we were told that they were reserved and there would be at least an hour wait. We grabbed more drinks at the draft bar and headed to the indoor couch area. That's another thing - I loved the different seating styles - both indoor and outdoor. Couches, high top tables, restaurant tables, bar seating, outdoor tables, outdoor adirondack chairs - pick your fancy! Anyway - my 2nd drink wasn't a hit for me, but that's my own fault. I tried the weisse with apple cider and it was wayyyy too sweet for me. I even added water to it when we got to our table and ended up not finishing it (I never leave drinks, but it was sickly sweet). I should have tried another beer or stayed with the pilsner. Oh, well. I will say that as we were drinking our 2nd beers inside, the draft bar line got sooooo long. I couldn't even see the end of it. When we got to the restaurant side, I realized that there is a "regular" bar there, though I'm not sure if they let you take drafts from there to other parts of the brewery or outside. Something to check for next time. For eats, we had the Three Little Pigs pizza (prosciutto, sausage and pancetta). It was yummy. Just enough to share between 2 people. The service was good, food was good, beer was good, vibe was good. The only downside was that sweet cider mistake. I would love to come back here again before it gets cold as I love the outdoor space. I'll definitely be back either way. read more

Last year my wife and I spent a weekend in MA and I finally got to visit Tree House. This spring, I was in MA again for a fencing tournament and knocked off another bucket list brewery pilgrimage, this time at Trillium! I visited the Canton location. Fantastic vibes, great beer. I had a Big Sprang kolsch at the bar before picking up some awesome cans to go. Every beer lover should pay this place a visit. read more

If you haven't been to the newest addition to the Trillium locations, go check them out in Canton where the place feels like a campus. The outside has a gigantic field that can serve as a game field for corn hole, football, etc. Inside, you'll be received by an expansive space of a sit-down area and cans-to-go and further back an area to order food and drink as well as an outdoor area for the same. I've been enjoying their beers for years and this is a welcoming addition to Trillium's expanding effort. read more

We had so much fun here and such a great time visiting. the bartender was knowledgeable and patient with the 50,000 questions my fiancé had. As always all their beers was delicious. We didn't have a chance to try their food but the menu looked amazing. read more

This place is truly amazing. And not because of the food trucks, the big crowd, the live music, but because some of the beers being offered are great and some also vintage beers. This is truly a good place. I was lucky to come here and try some unique beers, for real I wouldn't mind visiting again. Trillium Brewing is happening. read more

Once upon a time, Trillium was a great venue with excellent beer. Unfortunately, the place has become equivalent of an elementary school. Children, so many children, running around without parents supervising them. Who brings children to a bar anyways? There was a family having a birthday party... for their kid. At least give the kid a full pour to calm them down so they aren't tripping other patrons as they run amuck. And why does yelp indicate the venue as "Good for kids"? Have you all lost your marbles? It's a glorified bar. Should we start allowing kids into axe throwing venues or dispensaries to smoke a spliff as well? I've seen first hand both parents downing porters and driving their kids home. I guess whatever brings more money to the owners is good for business, even if it may cross the lines of some moral compass. read more

I will admit I am not a huge fan after my visit. Understaffed for a Saturday night. I was hoping for a flight but they only do full glasses but have complimentary samples and got lucky with my 1st try. I found the margarita pizza horrible with hardly any sauce and 3 pieces of basil. Could be a bad night by being shorthanded but definitely had better experiences elsewhere but I will try again. read more

Most people come for the brews. I come for the food! The food scene has a farm to table feel. The menu items do rotate in and out. I've tried something different every time and loved my meal every time. Although I recommend everything on the menu, you have to get one of their wood oven pizzas. Their custom wood oven is practically a highlight of their large dining room, which is great for groups. I also hope they bring back their skillet corn bread! If you're interested in just brews, you can opt of the dining room, and hang out in their main entrance room with high top tables and couches, or even better, outside if the weather is nice! They also have a small selection of snacks, like store-bought hummus and salsa, great for picking when drinking. You also can't go wrong with their beer selection. Not a beer drinker? They also have a limited selection of wine. Can't wait for summer! read more

I've been going to Trillium for 3+ year. When I first started going the food was very good. In the past year or so the overall quality of food has deteriorated. It's still a great place to meet people. The atmosphere is fun, and, obviously, the beer is great. The food quality has gone downhill. read more

I have been to this brewery on several occasions but this evening was a true disappointment. Always a great vibe as was this evening! The beers were great as usual and definitely a 5 rating deserved but waited for over an hour for our food after bringing the issue to our original bartender and another bartender for a single pepperoni pizza with sausage that we never received. Not sure what the issue was but no explanation received. read more

New location review: Came second night open. Showed up around 6:30/7 pm when they close at 9. Was told at the door restaurant was booked for the night. Ok bummer but it's packed and just reopened. As you enter their location it's 3-4x bigger than previous Canton location. Their outdoor area looks so nice with a ton of picnic tables, twinkle lights, and even food/draft truck outside. Too bad it's pouring rain. Next time... Inside you see can sales immediately and draft line. Draft line was huge and an employee came up and told us we could go to the bar instead and get pours "just no food." Couches all along wall where people are hanging out. Next doorway was into the restaurant. Barrels all around and a ton of tables. Even more than Fort Point. I would say this location is a ton more open if you compare plus a ton more windows. Style wise they are similar. There's a host stand but you can walk past the pizza ovens and go to the bar around the corner. Got our drafts quick. Tried Swishium, Dialed Out, New Englanders Vacation, and DDH Sleeper Street. DDH Sleeper was the clear winner. As we were hanging by the pizza ovens we asked if we could get some and a server said "sure" to our surprise. It was fabulous pizza! Wood fired right in front of us. As we checked out we got some cans to go unfortunately swishium was "sold out" but it was sitting right there with extra unpicked up orders. They wouldn't let us get any our only bummer of the night. Still this location is amazing! It's so much better and boom right on the highway to go home. Hoping my review helps people checking out the new spot on what to expect. It's a good time! We will definitely be back on a nice day. read more

Visiting the state and our friends took to this place. The friends loved their beers. I don't drink beers, FYI so there will be no beer reviews from me :) However their food were decent. Better than many breweries. I got their pizza and I asked it to be lightly cooked so it won't be burnt and it was cooked just right. Such a spacious atmosphere. Long wait, though- but it'll be worth it if you like to enjoy a beer or two. Cozy outside to sit too. read more

UPDATE: I returned to Trillium Canton on 7/17/2024, 8 days after my last visit (see previous review), to attend a birthday get-together. I headed to the ice cream truck to confirm that the manager had followed through on our last conversation by correcting either the sign or the payment system. Alas, the employee confirmed that they charge customers $2 in the payment system for the chocolate or cherry dips, despite the sign continuing to advertise the price as $1. I asked to speak to the manager - unfortunately it was not the same manager as the previous visit. This individual was more apologetic and they did correct it in the system this time. Still, this means that even after the previous manager was informed that they were overcharging customers by a 100% mark-up, and after his promise to correct this, they did not fix this issue for another 8 days (and only then after being told again). So, who knows how many customers were over-charged without realizing. Shame on the manager for not correcting the issue, which borders on fraudulent. My sister and her husband got a margherita pizza, and said it was "ok, I guess.... it used to be much better." Beer was great, as always, and the bartenders were super friendly. Overall, very disappointed in Trillium's business practices. It shouldn't be that difficult to charge customers the posted price, especially after being informed of the discrepancy. read more

Visited a few times last year and was impressed w the service, the beer and the pizza. Recent visit shows things have changed. The pizza was totally burnt, the beer - many were not available, but ok, and they introduced liquor - it is awful!!!! And expensive. The Bartender that tended to us (Rob) was great w us but absolutely awful to the rest of the staff. So rude right in front of customers. Not a good look. Made several people uncomfortable. We were directed to the taco truck outside as means for food due to a crazy long wait however we loved the pizza in past visits so we ordered agian. Big mistake. Awful and too expensive to come out burned. Also why would they bring a food truck in? Seems counter productive and takes the onus off them to fix their issues. Either have all food trucks or serve food. Attitudes between staff were apparent. Not a good experience. read more

Their beer is like no other- simply the best. The latest I tried and loved is their Permutation 11.23: Hoppy Table Beer. The pizza used to be just awesome, but were sadly disappointed with our pizza last night, and our neighbors were too. It was as if they ordered it from a different place and it wasn't cooked in their wood oven. The dough was raw and the flavor was dull. Luckily they had a Mexican food truck and their Birria Nachos were delicious. read more

The wait for French fries is 1.5 hrs. The place has so much potential but is an absolute nightmare in terms of kitchen management and food delivery. Staff is nice but so stressed because they are being screamed at by customers. They should not be offering a full menu that they can't deliver on. It happens EVERY time I go. This experience is not an anomaly. Recommend only if you have 5 hours and are not hungry. read more

Service is fantastic BUT everything else, not great. The Espresso Martini has lemon in it... gross. Endless Stout... is definitely not Luscious. The IPA's are pretty much on par. The food is okay. Instead of having many mediocre things in the menu, you should consolidate and make those fewer things great. read more

What the actual fuck? After multiple different positive reviews by family, friend, and coworkers, me and my girlfriend were excited to this place and had high expectations.

My son and I wanted to check out Trillium. We've been to the Boston locations but Canton is closer to home. So, it's huge. But directionless for guests. We walked up to the hostess desk, said we wanted to sit and have a few beers. We were given a littne wave and told the bar is on your right. So, we wander down. No signage. We want to sit down. We see a sign to see the host. Well, didn't we just lass the host desk and got directed down here? We step outside. Ask a server who's just hanging out if we can sit anywhere. She waves to the picnic tables says yes, go over there. We decide to grab a beer first and then go to a picnic table. And another person comes over and tells us we can't sit there. That we have to be seated. I said, well, can we be seated? She says it's a 15 minute wait. But we can wait in the Adirondack chairs. So we wander over there to sit with all the families with little kids. 5 mins later, we get the message that our table is ready. We walk back over to basically the same place we were. We order buffalo chicken dip and a pretzel with cheese. About 20 mins later we get a small pretzel with a little cup of "cheese" and a horrendous little bowl of really, incredibly bad dip. The cheese was separated and nasty. There was a weird spoonful of peppers in the middle. The chips were is this odd paper bag and I honestly have no idea what they were. One bite and I was done. This food was $24. We left all of it. We were never asked if it was ok. The beer was very good. I'll never go back. No one seems to know what they are doing. Vague hand waves. Terrible - and I mean terrible - food. We were not at all welcomed. Good beer. Bad atmosphere unless you were there with little kids and wanted to have a beer while they ran around. read more

Stopped in by myself after work to try some local brews. I sat at the bar and the service there was friendly. I was able to try a few different beers and wasn't really pressured to make a choice too soon. There are quite of few of their beers that are only available by the bottle. They also have some experimental ales that are quite expensive ($18 for a 12oz pour) but hey you pay for uniqueness sometimes. The sours I tried were all of high quality. There is something for everyone here. I didn't try the food, but this is definitely an after work vibe. Tons of space, totally clean, great for hosting events. read more

Amazing place for a group event. Definitely recommend their bbq, pizza and varieties of their own brewery's beer.

The service, food and beers were great. Glad to have found this place and will plan to go back!

Love the beers and venue, but this place needs to hire more people or have food trucks. One bartender on outdoor patio...no kids menu available after 12:30 due to too many orders... Cannot bring in outside food... This place charges $20-25 per 4-pack... work on your customer service. read more
