Sterling Street Brewery is a craft brewery that opened in Clinton, Massachusetts in October 2020…read more It was founded by longtime friends Brian Mason and Jesse Tarbell. Friends since high school, Mason and Tarbell have shared a passion for quality craft beer for quite some time. After years of visiting various breweries with their families and friends, the partners began serious talks about opening their own brewery. Not only did they aspire to open a brewery that featured a variety of beer styles, but also a family friendly taproom. Mason has an extensive background in homebrewing, and both partners have a background in business. Clinton was ultimately chosen as the location for their brewery because it lacked a family friendly brewery. A second location opened at Pathway Devens (a biomanufacturing campus operated by King Street Properties) in May 2024. I recently visited Sterling Street Brewery's original Clinton location for the first time. It was also the first time that I was meeting up a with a large group of New England-based craft beer bloggers/enthusiasts who frequently have meet-ups at breweries. The taproom was decent-sized with maybe 10 large tables available for seating. There were an additional 20 or so tables outside, but it was still a little too cold outside to utilize those. I would imagine that the patio area is popular during the warmer months. After grabbing some food from a food truck, I headed to the bar. I ordered a taster flight that featured "Newfound Pale" (Citra Pale Ale), "Otherwise" (New England IPA), "Michael Diamond" (New England IPA), and "Midnight Marauder" (Stout). I enjoyed them all, but I was most impressed by the Pale Ale. I later enjoyed full pours of "Gingerbread Snuggles" (Winter Ale) and "Double Sabotage" (Double New England IPA). The beer was solid, the space was nice, and I had a blast meeting and socializing with so many other local craft beer enthusiasts. I give Sterling Street my seal of approval and I hope to check out their Devens location in the future!

At least this one is more my style, smooth and a little hoppy. Also, I thought it was my imagination, but it had a faint taste of citrus. My second drink was the Sweet Cecilia, a sour raspberry beer. Going to sound counterintuitive, but it tasted too sour for me. I like a good balance of sour and the beer. When I was there, there was an event for rug painting, which was pretty cool. They also have small meals if you get a little hungry.

They do not have liquor due to them being a brewery fyi. The food..... DELICIOUS!! We got the beef nachos, the beef was excellent and the chips were nice and crispy. The smash burger was juicy and flavorful, and I loved the big thick cut steak fries! The chicken taco was great as well! The standout for us was the churros.

We got the veggie risotto and the summer grain bowl. We did not get to try any drinks. I wish the risotto was better and it was actually risotto. It was more like cheesy rice with a few starchy vegetables in it. The summer grain bowl was heavy on the arugula and quinoa, and somewhat stingy on the additives (grapes, strawberries and almonds). The staff had a hard time figuring how to take my payment, though were very nice and apologetic about it. No napkins or eating utensils were included in our take out bag. Perhaps if we came in the late afternoon, we would have had a better experience. I really wanted to like them. We would be open to another opportunity to try it.

Relaxed, comfy space that's the antithesis of more corporate-feeling outfits with the same target audience. Parking can be tough at times, but there are free spaces on the street and in the lot to its right that also includes underground spaces. -- Buffalo Wings: Offered in 1- and 2-pound portions, with a steep price for the 1-pound and a steep drop in per-pound price for the 2-pound. My small order had 8 pieces with a very thin coating of Buffalo-ish sauce-- not as spicy or as vinegary, but reasonably piquant and tangy. Not much crisp, but extremely plump and juicy chicken meat underneath. So a mixed bag of flavor and texture, but overall, good. -- True West Burger: Sort of a thick burger, sort of a brioche bun (closer to a better, fresher McDonald's), with vegetation significant part of it. Choice of cheese. Cooked to my requested medium rare, yielding juices. Overall, good burger for its class, though for $22, maybe it should be compared with classier ones. -- Fries (included with the burger): Frozen, somewhat artificial tasting, and a coating of some sort that held in the heavy dose of salt (like pretzel sticks), as if salted even before frying. -- Beers: Plenty of styles and plenty within each style to choose from. I really enjoyed my peachy Pit and Peel New England IPA and liked the Ruckus as well. Service was outstanding. My server Mariana was outgoing, very familiar with both the food and drink offerings, and checked back often. This was probably the determining factor for this tossup between 3 and 4 stars getting nudged to the 4. If it were an option, more of a 3.5. And if you're similarly torn, having some of the best ice cream in the state a few doors down afterward at Westside Creamery might tip the scale for you (literally and figuratively).

Review for a group on August 13…read more Having been a local patron for 15+ years, I have observed a gradual decline in the food. Salads with just iceberg lettuce, minimal Caesar dressing, and 'out of the box' croutons made for a bland entree. The pulled pork Mac and Cheese had very dried-out pork and lacked cheese. The service was meh, mostly focused on selling more, vs. doing the basics like clearing away used dishes. Too many rookies, not well trained. Beer selection has fallen off as well; I really miss Colonial Gold. Too many IPA's. Turnover with the brewmasters? Mixed drinks are small and expensive. Ambiance is fine, can get loud. My family held a surprise birthday party for me 20 months ago, and everyone loved the buffet entrees, etc. The standards have slipped a lot since then. And I have witnessed this decline on several prior visits since. When I asked my crew about the night, they all agreed that Tavern in the Square (Littleton) was much better for comparable entrees and service. In Acton, Rapscallion is a much better choice for a brewpub for food, beer, and service. We are dropping this venue from our monthly meeting restaurant rotation. Too bad.
