Went right in the middle of their tourist season, yes its 2 months long at least and it gets crowded for a small village standard. this place has parking but its a first come first serve and it gets hard when everyone else is looking for one. Love the Lagers ( im a hazy Beer person ) but these remind me of my local brewery. Lovely owners, magagers, team players that make the entire trip well worth it. you can even bring your Pet. Now im sad i dint bring mine :( PS: i took some beer to bring back home and still have it in the fridge for that special occasion. Maybe have a collab with my local place, they make a mean Pumping Spice and Ocktober Fest

Outdoors is dog friendly and I made some furry friends while sitting out for a drink! The German style beers they have on tap included some unique finds and some styles you don't see too often. Bartenders were very friendly and helpful when I was trying to decide what to get, as lagers and ales are not my usual go tos but made up the majority of the offerings. I got the Salem Ale, a helles style, in a half pour- I love that they offer this smaller size since their other glasses are absolutely massive! This was an easy drinking, smooth beer with low hops, just what I wanted for a hot summer day when I only had limited time to spend here. My drinking partner also enjoyed their selection, and we really enjoyed the location. Would love to go back, very chill vibes and the people there were all so friendly and happy, patrons and employees alike - a rare occurrence in Massachusetts!

Staff were great but we have to be honest and say the beer was not our favorite in any way. We would order the NEIPA again perhaps the standard pilsner. Everything else had a strange aftertaste. I'm sure some folks will love what they produce here but it was not to our preference.

Today was the pork belly tacos, the taco salad, and some beeyahs. Delicious tacos once again, crema, pickled radish, and jalapeño makes a delicious bite. Pork belly alone was underseasoned, but the whole bite makes it worth it! The bucket of taco salad was filled with choice of shredded beef. Done well, dressed nicely tourist pricing but that's normal all around town. I like coming here in the afternoons or later lunches for a relaxing time, good food, and a great atmosphere.

It's a cool spot that gave us…read moresomething fun to do while we waited for our EV to charge down the street, but it definitely feels a bit like a tourist trap. The food is nothing spectacular, though it's not bad either--just kinda mid. We had the ceviche, which was decent for $16. The drink menu itself is really cool, but it is very overpriced. Because we had already had a couple of drinks elsewhere and were mostly just buying time, we opted to stick with water. The ambiance is easily the best part of the experience. It's a fun, lively rooftop bar that sits right in the middle of everything in town. It offers some nice views directly over the main pedestrian street in Salem, though honestly, beyond that, you can't see much else. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We didn't have a reservation and weren't thrilled with the seats we were given, but that's fair game for walking in. It's a neat place to stop in for a quick view if you're passing through, but be prepared for typical tourist-heavy prices for drinks.

I can't wait to visit again!

The samples of the cheese are the best part! Prices are comparable to the Beverly Whole Foods, my next favorite cheese destination, however the staff here are 10 times as knowledgeable and kind, and the selection is much better. I asked about a cheese similar to my favorite, Cyprus Grove's Midnight Moon. They didn't have it in stock, but the one that I wound up buying (also the first that was recommended to me) I think I like even more! Yes, they have an excellent wine section that even includes nonalcoholic options, but I'll be easily drunk off cheese in the best way possible.

I always end up with an IPA of some sort, but the Queen's Siren is a sour, but well balanced fruit punch. Got my first growler from here filled with the Queen's Siren and plan to be back at some point. Their beer is on rotation, so as of this review, the Queen's Siren was erased off the list (it was that good!). If I remember correctly, CMB has been around at least 5 yrs. There's no food truck because it's such a small brewery, but I saw some restaurants sprinkled along the street. So far, nothing has beat CMB on sours.

The staff were awesome and it's definitely happening place. The only downfall I would say was the outside door was open so it was pretty chilly inside.
