Detailed itinerary

A nocturnal nano brewery and taproom in Everett, Massachusetts, only a stone’s throw from Boston proper, Night Shift Brewing is known around town for their ‘avant-garde’ (that’s French for totally off-the-wall) brewing style with ingredients you’ve probably never thought to put in a beer. Luckily, they did!

Boasting one of the first grain silos built in Dorchester, MA in over a hundred years, the Dorchester Brewing Company opened its doors in 2016. Producing both its own craft beers and those of several partner breweries, Dorchester Brewing Company is a place that is always brewing! DBCo. brews its own well-crafted house beers alongside local brewing partners and regional collaborators and puts them all on the shiny new 20-tap system in the beautifully refinished taproom. Dorchester Brewing Company houses some of the most state-of-the-art brewing equipment in its large brewing space including high-speed canning and bottling machines and a massive energy-efficient cooler in the back for fresh beer storage. With food trucks outside, wi-fi and board games inside, and an ever changing line up of fresh brews, Dorchester Brewing Company is one of the newest and best places to settle in for a tour visit.

Winter Hill Brewing Company is one of those down-to-earth neighborhood joints everyone loves! This brewery sees a lot of returning customers and regulars who come in multiple times a week. Winter Hill embraces giving back to their community as much as possible and partner with and contribute to many non profit organizations. They offer incredible small-batch beer made in-house as well as ethically-sourced hand-crafted coffee.
