    Beer

    Good beer! Tried a few they had to offer. They offer snacks and good beer . They have places to stand and enjoy time with friends. They have a pinball machine and plenty of merchandise for sale.

    We love breweries so we probably would have come here anyway during our recent stay in Cape Cod but the fact that they are cool with dogs really put it over the top in our book. We stopped in just after lunchtime during the week with our two small dogs in tow. They have a nice seating area with multiple different types of seating (picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, etc). They offer multiple brews in two different sizes. I felt that prices were more than reasonable. I was bummed out that they didn't have food tho. Definitely worth a stop if you're a beer fan.

    Drinks were pretty good - I would recommend the Spicy Pickle with Habanero. Indoors looks very nice, outdoors is picnic benches in a parking lot. Definitely nice but the view leaves a lot to be desired. Main reason for the low rating is not having a restroom on site. How can you serve alcohol and only provide disgusting portalets that are full and in need of cleaning?

    Intertidal Stout and Pollock Rip IPA

    Devil's Purse Brewing Company is a craft brewery that opened in South Dennis, Massachusetts in May 2015. It was founded by Mike Segerson and Matt Belson. Belson had served in the Coast Guard, and then worked as a reporter for the Cape Codder newspaper. Segerson was working as a winemaker at Truro Vineyards and briefly wrote a wine column for the Codder. The duo first started home-brewing together in the early 2000s. By 2011, they came up with the idea to open their own brewery. They considered opening a brew pub, then decided it would be better to build a commercial brewing operation. 'Devil's Purse' was a name that Mike had given to one of his early home brews. Spending summers on the Cape as a child, he recalls boating on the family's Boston Whaler in Chatham, his mother handing him a dried skate-egg case from the beach and calling it a "devil's purse," giving him a lifelong memory draped in awe and beauty. Most of the brewery's offerings are European styles that are named after nautical themes and sea life. My wife and I visited Devil's Purse for the first time in July 2019. I had spent most of the day cycling on the Cape Cod Rail Trail and had built up quite a thirst. The brewery had a nice outdoor biergarten where customers could enjoy a game of cornhole. Unfortunately, they didn't serve beer flights but they did serve short pours. My first sample was of "Middle Ground IPA": a malty IPA with some nice candied citrus notes. Next up was "Intertidal Stout": an oyster stout made with fresh oysters harvested from nearby Chatham. My final sample was "Pollock Rip IPA": a solid IPA with a balance of spicy flavors and citrus notes. The last one was my favorite and I purchased a four-pack of cans to go. I would return if I'm in the area again.

    We stopped here on our way to Provincetown, very easy to find while traveling. Typical brewery set up for tasting, indoor there were a few pub height tables to stand and enjoy. The taps were staffed by friendly staff who could answer questions. Then they had an extended outdoor area to enjoy fresh air and sun. The beer selection included 10 different options, and they offer 5oz and 16oz pours. We enjoyed the 4 different beers we tasted - Handline Kolsch, Surfman's Check ESB (an pub ale), Tablebeer #15 (session ale), and Skywave #7 (Saison). I enjoyed the Surfman's beer the most, and Alan liked the Saison. All beers were light, refreshing and perfect for summer drinking. If we lived here, we would stop by here. Now knowing their name, we can order if found on bar menus. The Devil's Purse brewery is a nice find in Cape Cod.

    Few takeout beers & the pickles we purchased from an outside vendor
    Audrey C.

    Good beer. Friendly and accommodating staff. Free parking. Decent selection for takeout. There was a pickle vendor there offering samples of their product. We didn't stay very long but would likely stop through again for a beer or two.

    Decent brewery with friendly staff. This is a tasting only brewery and you can buy grawlers or large canned beer to go. They can the beer onsite, which is pretty cool. When we visited, they had 3 beers: Kolsh, IPA, and Stout. All decent beer, my favorite was the Kolsh, very flavorful. The stout was also good, but a little bitter. While I'm not an IPA fan, my husband said it was very good. Beware that they don't have patron restroom and they only open 4-6 pm in the weekdays, plan ahead.

    Not dog friendly anymore…read more We've come here a bunch of times with our dog and would be able to sit outside and have a few drinks. We always had a pleasant experience and respected the rules of the brewery to stay outside with our dog. Yesterday, we came by around 3 p.m. and it was relatively quiet with lots of empty seating outside. When we went to sit at a table, a waitress told us they had a designated dog area to the side at two broken tables in the sun and that we could not sit at any of the shaded tables. She also told us we could not order food with our dog there. We asked if we could move an umbrella over so we wouldn't have to sit in the sun--the waitress said she would ask and then never came back. When we realized no one was going to help, we asked a second time and were told there was no way to give us shade, so we left. It was disappointing as we liked coming here but it felt like they were deliberately trying to make dog owners uncomfortable and unwelcome. I'd recommend going elsewhere if you are looking for a relaxing afternoon at a brewery.

    Second Wind Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Plymouth, Massachusetts in May 2018. It was…read morefounded by homebrewing friends J.R. Shepard, Ken Semcken, and Hans Terbush. The three partners would spend weekends together homebrewing with friends and fine-tuning their beer. Terbush became a certified beer server and Semcken and Shepard passed the exam to become certified Cicerones (the beer equivalent of a wine sommelier). Eventually, they wanted to open their own brick & mortar brewery. Second Hand's small taproom and outdoor beer garden opened on Howland Street in 2018. The popularity of their beer soon took off, and in 2020 their 3 1/2-barrel system was upgraded to a 7-barrel system. An even larger secondary taproom with a full kitchen opened down the street at 11 Main Street in December 2025. While most of the brewing operations still continue at the original Howland Street location, customers can enjoy more space and a delicious menu of food curated by Chef Stephen Coe at the Main Street location. Coe is locally famous for his Lobsta Love food trucks and nationally known for his win against celebrity chef Bobby Flay on the Food Network's "Chopped: Beat Bobby Flay."  I recently visited both of Second Wind Brewing's locations while I was in Plymouth for the day. After checking out a couple of other breweries in town, I headed for the Howland Street taproom. Things are a little smaller here, but they offer a more intimate experience. The outdoor patio seating is a nice place to kick back on a warm weather day. I pulled up a seat at the bar and enjoyed a can pour of "Cent'anni" (Italian Pilsner), followed by a draught pour of "Four the Shore" [2026] (Session New England IPA). The pilsner was crisp and refreshing while the IPA was light with nice notes of citrus and tropical fruit. Afterwards, I made a short walk down the street to the larger taproom. It was much more spacious here and there were some flatsceen TVs playing sports games. I pulled up a seat at the bar and looked over the food menu. I ordered the "Pork Belly & Mozzarella Arancini" (served with/ romesco, arugula & cheese sauce) and the "Buffalo Chicken Caesar Wrap" (Romaine Caesar dressing, blue cheese croutons) with "Sidewinder Fries". The food was excellent! I washed it down with a draught pour of "Buckshot" (Hazy IPA). verall, I had an enjoyable experience at both locations and I would definitley return to either one the next time I'm in Plymouth!

    This review is for the brand-new, beautiful Main Street location of Second Wind Brewing, which is a…read moremassive leap forward from their original, production-focused spot a few blocks away. The community has watched the construction on this place for over five years, and Second Wind gave us the best possible reward: an un-fussed, un-pretentious un-official opening the day before Thanksgiving. I couldn't make it that night, but I stopped by that Friday. They were busy and buzzing. The Space: The new brew pub is gorgeous. It mixes modern, industrial elements (exposed piping, cool metal lighting) with dark, comfortable features like the stylish leather lounge seating. It manages to feel both expansive and cozy, with digital menu boards above the bar keeping the beer list clear. This is a high-end taproom designed for settling in for the night. The Beer: I started with the Known and Loved IPA (5.4% ABV), and it was exactly the sessionable, hazy delight I needed after a long holiday. Citrusy, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink. It's clear that even as they manage this expansion, the quality of the beer remains top-tier. The Food (The Gossip): Now, the big question: where's the food? The official story is that they are waiting for final food service permits as they finalize their partnership with the legendary Executive Chef, Stephen Coe. However, I've been tipped off by a very reliable "insider" at the bar: Chef Coe is still on a 60-day jail sentence for the sheer brutality of the beating he administered to Bobby Flay on national television. It was apparently an assault charge disguised as a culinary competition. The pub is just buying time until he serves his sentence and can be released back into the wild to run the kitchen. In all seriousness, the future looks incredibly bright. This is already a phenomenal spot for a pint, and once Chef Coe is free and wielding his cutlery, this place will be unstoppable. Go check out the new digs and tell the staff you're sending positive energy (and a file baked into a cake) to their executive chef!

The bartender was very nice. The beer selection was heavily weighted towards hazy NEIPAs, which I understand--they sell! (I teach beverage at the Culinary Institute of America). I ordered two beers, a corn lager and a maibock. The lager was good, but the maibock was technically flawed, with diacetyl (movie popcorn butter smell) and I think some acetalaldehyde (cooked vegetable) smells/flavors. Not terrible, not great, and 10 oz. pours were priced like pints at other breweries. Here comes the bad part, though. We also ordered some clam chowder and pretzel bites. We got the food at our inside table and the chowder was the worst we've ever had in our lives. Campbells and Progresso well exceed the quality of this 'soup'. It didn't taste like clams, there was no discernible seasoning or flavor from onions or garlic, and it had obviously been thickened (into glop) with cornstarch. It might also have been scorched during cooking. It was so bad that we each took two bites and had to stop. And we are *not* picky eaters. The pretzel bites (for $15) were plentiful, but obviously a commodity product heated up...barely. The beer cheese dip was good and the mustard had a nice kick, but that much money for a pile of frozen pretzel bites is ridiculous. So, $40+ for two 10oz beers and food so bad we threw 90% of it in the garbage. The staff was nice enough, the live music outside was bad, but the food. Holy moly the food was terrible. Oh, and the beers weren't great. We will not be going back, and don't think you should go either.

The review of the meatball sub from friends was "it's good." Cheese board was enormous and could feed a whole soccer team and the Pretzel is generic, store bought and not recommended. The service was a little weird -- instead of getting a waiter, you just have to kinda fend for yourself -- initially it seemed like just an online menu but they do have printed menus.
