    Quick stop on way back from Boston and this place was google find. What a find it was, beer was great! I had more of a fruity one my friend enjoyed the stout w/ hints of coffee, it was ok stouts not my thing. The service was nice and friendly and we got food from the bardo's pizza that is located inside. ( you will have to go check out that review.) The place had a chill vibe, football and was hopping for a Sunday early evenings. Will be returning.

    One my favorite places in Boston great for walking watching the planes or grabbing a snack a good swim spot protected from ocean waves in pleasure bay.

    I think I'll have a beer Ok maybe two... Love a good brewery & Castle Island is indeed a great one. An extremely spacious & cool indoor space coupled with a very nice outdoor space for when the devious New England weather permits Friendly staff, great tasting beer with rotating specials & a full kitchen delivering the goods that pair well for all the beer drinkers. Be on the lookout for their events which does include live music.

    This is a cool brewery that is located also near some wonderful work out studios and coffee shops and places to eat. This space is very spacious and plenty of room to hang and enjoy beers with friends and family. On nice days there is a big open outdoor area where they have picnic tables and standing room to enjoy the great Boston weather while enjoying some awesome Castle Island Beer. They also have hosted birthday parties here as well. When I was here there was one going on. The bartender was nice. This is a chill spot that I recommend checking out if you are in the area.

    This place, is awesome. My wife, my 5 week old baby and I headed to Castle Island brewery after a brief jaunt at Castle Island (proper) and boy were we knocked out of our stroller. The vibe was perfect for a sunny spring day, good music, flavor bomb flights, and one of the best bar pizzas around (the Sweet Dream with pillows of ricott', Roni' and hot honey). I was so overwhelmed I purchased a Bardo's shirt. To top it off Hector the floor manager, hooked our baby and dog up with some special treats. I really only post on YELP when people go above and beyond, and this was 100% the case. I will be back for some more good times!

    A fun place to hang around to check out beers and play a board game with the kids but didn't like the service at front desk. We just tried couple of beers and didn't try any food. The place has a feel of a brewery inside a factory setup.

    Pizza: Dill Pickle (top), Linguica (right), and Sweet Dreams (bottom)... delicious!!

    Been here a couple times now for drinks and ordered pizza for dinner... Wow! the pizza was fantastic!! I don't know how they cook it but it's a thin crust pizza that has a nice crunch. I'm no pizza expert but I feel like that's hard to achieve!! Their pizza menu is also different than the norm - but in a good way! I highly recommend their Sweet Dreams pizza; the honey, ricotta, and pepperoni combo was superb. The food was also made and delivered in a timely manner. Nothing but good vibes at Castle Island Brewery!! Will definitely go back again.

    Cool brewery in southie! Went here on a Saturday evening and it was packed. The brewery is huge inside with plenty of places roam stand with picnic style tables in the back. Luckily my friend and I were able to get two seats at the bar shortly after getting there! The service and great and quick. Water is self serve. There are so many drink and food options. We split both the pickle and the social climber- delicious! Can't wait to go back

    5 stars for the Pizza and 4 for the beer. The pizza was that good that it pushed up the rating, and the indoor/outdoor environment is dog and kid friendly makes for a great visit. I normally go to a brewery to try the various brews, but I would come here for the pizza first. They have a Bardos pizza onsite and it is fantastic - the "bar pizza" that South Boston originated and Bardos perfected is just amazing - the caramelized crust edges with mild char from the pan really add to the texture and flavor for this type of pizza. They advertise that the pizzas are big enough to share or if hungry you can eat your own. We got two so we could share and try different ones and this was a good choice. The Sweet Dreams with pepperoni, ricotta cheese, and hot habanero honey was sweet and tasty, and contrasted well with the Social Climber which was more savory with sausage, and Mama Lil's Peppers. Writing this review is making me hungry to have some more. As for the beer, they are a good craft brewery with several styles including lagers, pilsners, IPAs and hazy IPAs, as well as hard seltzers. The Untappd app shows they sometimes make well regarded stouts but sadly none were on the menu during our visit. The vibe is fine as you can sit in or outdoors and it has that warehouse feel local to the area. The staff were friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this place. Now my search begins to find Bar pizza in other cities which I fear won't be as good

    Perfect pour

    I had a great time catching up with friends at Castle Island Brewing recently! I'm not a beer aficionado, but everything I tried was top notch! Loved the chocolate stout that I failed to take a photo of. The pizza is really good! I spied some other goodies on the menu that I'd like to go back for. Huge space; gets a little loud but still manageable for a conversation. Great spot in Southie!

    This is a great brewery, they have a good variety of beers and the best food menu items are definitely the pizzas. Seating is easy to find, they also have an outdoor area. My only complaint is the last time we went, there was a reserved party going on which is normally not an issue but the music their DJ was playing was LOUD! So loud that you couldn't hear the person next to you, so we opted to sit in the outdoor area while it was raining a bit.

    Spacious brewery with large seating area both indoors & outdoors. Service was great, the beertenders were welcoming, fun, and very attentive. Food: we ordered one of their pizzas. Unfortunately, it fell short for us. The flavors on the pizza just didn't balance the way we had hoped. Beer: the star (duh). Beer selection rocked and every single one tasted great!

    Great ambiance and cool that it's dog friendly outside. Pizza was tasty as well. I sampled a few drinks off the menu and I feel like those could have been better.

    Great beer selection, solid food options and an excellent staff…read more Interior space was quite crowded with minimal to no space at the tables and bar...even on a Monday early evening. I would expect the outdoor space would come in handy once the weather warms up. Conveniently located right off of Seaport Blvd. surrounded by some other good food and dessert options. Lots of parks in the area, including Fan Pier Park, which offers some spectaculay views of the Boston Skyline...particularly after dark. Metered Street Parking was actually manageable, especially in the later post 6-pm midweek hours in the Fort Hill Square Area. Meters are in effect through 8pm with a 2-hour maximum, so if you arrive after 6pm and feed the meter until 8pm, you are all set for the night! The South Station (Red) T Station is also nearby. Both options are a short walk to Fan Pier Park. There are also lots of garages available in the immediate area as well.

    Brewery # 412 I am…read morereviewing Trillium with my head in clouds because I am a fan of beer and after having a Congress St Hazy IPA in the panhandle of Florida about a year ago, I couldn't wait to try this brewery and their beer didn't disappoint. I got 5 oz pours of all of their IPA's and was in heaven. The Really Big Bird and Galaxy Cutting Ties were amongst my favorites. I wanted to try multiple stouts but unfortunately most of their pastry stouts were not on tap. They were only in 18.5-ounce bottles so I could only order one. I got the Macaroon Macaroon, which was a collab with Veil Brewing in Richmond VA (another phenomenal brewery that I have been to). It was dessert in a glass. I had the lady friend with me, or I would have opened and closed this place that or passed out in the corner. I was in heaven. She ordered some spinach and artichoke dip but I don't remember it. It was filler as far as I was concerned. This place isn't about the food; it's about their amazing beer.

The place has a really fun vibe -- coffee shop in the morning and brewery in the evening. The hostess was super friendly and got us seated in a nice dry spot in the back where we could admire all the brewing equipment. Live music started while we were there, adding more energy to the atmosphere. There's also an upstairs area that looked like a great place to hang out. The food looked fantastic, and my wife was especially excited to see they had a gluten-free dessert option. They offered a huge variety of freshly brewed beers -- IPAs, pilsners, sours -- something for everyone. They also had several non-alcoholic options, which was nice to see. I enjoyed a few half beers along with an order of guacamole, and my wife had the flourless chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was delicious. The service was great, the beer was cold and fresh, and the atmosphere made it such a fun place to relax for a while. Definitely a great spot to grab a few drinks and hang out!

The way these people handled the large crowd when they weren't expecting much of one for 3 hours was amazing. The brewery has 2 floors with multiple bars with taps and they were running full speed ahead. We found a couple of seats upstairs and I walked up to one of the bars and ordered a few 4-5 oz pours. Their hazies were really good especially Runner's High and Cloud Candy. While we were sitting there, we ordered a few apps; a hummus plate and some hot honey Brussel sprouts. They both came out fast and were tasty. The beer and food were both good, but the service was even better. The Mighty Squirrel is a well oiled machine.
