And then get a quick, informative tour our our production facility to find out how mead is made! We have demonstration beehive, and will educated you on bees and honey!

I love this place and the folks that run it. I have been drinking mead for several years and 1634 offers lots of different varieties, from sweet to dry, so there is something for everyone. The prices are good for mead and the quality. Ask them any questions about mead and receive a history lesson about the name, how it was made in the past and currently made. Lots of fun all around. I brought friends up and we all had great times. It is about a 45 minute drive from Boston, depending on traffic, or a 15 minute walk from the Ipswich train station, which also takes 45 minutes from North Station. Well worth a walk around Ipswich too. They also do lots of farmers markets, so get your hands on some mead without even going far from home. I highly recommend 1634 for all your mead!!!

Cisco Brewers

Who are we? We are just about the coolest place on planet Earth. Having never personally traveled to other parts of the galaxy, we can't quite say "in all the Milky Way" but we're pretty confident that we would make the top 10. Here on Nantucket we have a Winery, Brewery, and Distillery. Nantucket Vineyard was the first arm of our business opening in the early 1980's as a small project of the Long Family. After a few years, Winery employees ended up falling in love with the wine and each other, and voila! - Cisco Brewers was born on the Hudson's stovetop in 1995. Whispers of a brewery floated on the Nantucket wind, catching the ear of a few people, including a Mr. Harman. Using the previously tested and proven formula of starting a business from another business, Winery and Brewery employees enjoyed a few glasses / pints (respectively) together and hatched the idea for Triple Eight Distillery in 2000. All three businesses are constantly evolving, and we now produce a wide variety of world-class wines, beers, and spirits. Come out and enjoy our Nantucket haven- just prepare yourself in case your mind blows up from all the awesomeness. Open everyday year-round, dog and kid friendly!

It is hard to believe that places like this exist, we arrived on a Tuesday afternoon and the place was rocking! Great live music, a variety of bars -wine, beer and mixed drinks await. I had the frose, delicious and potent! They have food carts/trucks and sell merchandise too. Bring your kids, your dogs, whatever you like, everyone is welcome. I LOVED this place.

An hour long tour with a short introduction to beer making and the Sam Adams processes then proceed into a tasting room where tasting of three different Sam Adams brews takes place all with charm and humour. You then exit through the gift shop but with the tasting glass to take away. Superb experience and all they ask is an optional donation to the fund supporting 3 different charities.

This place made me So Hoppy! We had a couple of beer flights to sample their goods. My husband and I enjoyed most of them, which is a plus for a local brewery. Their signature beer, So Hoppy, was easy to drink on their outdoor patio. Loved their attitude and swag!

Night Shift Brewing

From the two-bar taproom and dog-friendly patio to food trucks and live music, Night Shift Everett has a little bit of everything for everyone.

Reviewed By gorgbot - Boston, United States

Quick hits: - Great beer - don't miss the barrel-aged - No need to form a line at the bar - Dog friendly - Rotating foodtrucks Excellent brewery with fantastic variety. But don't make the mistake I made, which was overlooking their barreled beers. All of their beers are very good, but a friend shared a bottle of some apple brandy barrel-aged horchata-style stout and I realized I'd been missing out. Their IPAs are among my favorite beers generally, but don't get blinded. Also a *Hot Tip* that isn't, because there's signage everywhere saying so, but you don't need to line up at the bar. Just treat it like normal bar service and step up. Service is quick and the bartenders have been good, in my experience, at keeping track of who has been waiting. The interior is large and open, and tends to be less busy than the patio, where it can be tough to get a seat on nicer days. Patio is dog friendly, too, but if your dog isn't good at socializing, this will be a tough spot. Lots of people, lots of other dogs.
