Great free tour. You get to sample 7 oz each of three beers at the end of the tour. Must do if you are visiting Boston!

Great tours and tastings!

Tour is donation only, you get to taste 3 beers, and keep the glass. Go to Doyles afterward and ride the troll -Quiet the experience!!

free tour includes free beer samples and a 7 oz glass. $2 donation preferred and goes to good causes.

The tour is tons of fun and very informative.
Mallory VachonAugust 16, 2013
Sometimes the tour gets a bit dry. You could say I gave the yeast amount of f*cks possible about ingredients.
Julia DeJosephSeptember 2, 2012
Tours are free. The trolley to Doyle's is the way to go post-tour!

A FREE tour with three FREE beers at the end. A donation isn’t mandatory, but would only make sense in return for such generosity.
Jordan RaynorMay 24, 2013
Really great tour and tasting. Highly recommended.
Edward DavisJune 17, 2013

Josh is amazing! And go to Doyles! Ruben... Best I ever had. Onion rings, to die for!
Randy TravellerOctober 1, 2013
Do not drink from the pitcher unless you want to be kicked out... And the excuse, "good to the last drop" isn't a valid reason either. Oops :)

Stand towards the back when they are explaining the brewing process. It means you get into the tasting room first. (via Scoville) Read more

Great tour and even better beer.
Manny CabralAugust 18, 2015
They don't sell production beer! That is, you can't buy a case of beer, just growlers.
Justa CowboyNovember 4, 2011
Take the tour and then enjoy a few glasses from the taps.Nice gift shop also.

Show up early on Saturdays or during the summer and you won't have to wait as long for your tour. Also taking the T is mich easier don't drive.

A great bar for after work gathering.

Peter MulhollandMarch 30, 2015
At the end of the tour, sit in the front of the tasting line.
Sofia UzMarch 2, 2016
Cool Boston experience when you're in the area, but probably not worth a trip otherwise
