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!

This is a nice brewery if you want to hang outdoors with your friends and/or dog.

While the tables can be somewhat communal, I chose to be a bit more antisocial and just share a table with my dog. It should be noted that winds in the area can knock down their umbrellas or take your food off the table so be careful. There was a food truck outside serving Mexican food that was pretty good but aggressively priced. It did go well with the IPAs. Overall, this is a fairly nice place to enjoy a lazy afternoon. I'd come back if I was in the area.

Classy brewery with wide variety of beers, some are poured, not on tap so can't taste. Get a taste…read moreof the others because some have a unique flavor profile. The dark sour has a 'creme' after taste. The award winning Duchovini tastes just like Pilsner Urechel . Full food menu, with a mexi twist. Tots and classic bar food too. Live music... Great jazz jam session on Sunday. Table service, but can get backed up so just go to the bar and add to the tab.

Our server was quick and attentive. The drinks were great! We are not beer people, but we both found something on the menu that we liked - bf got the margarita and I got the cosmo - both were pretty good! 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. They were perfection, crispy on the outside warm and gooey on the inside. We will definitely be back!

The place was quiet, which allowed Ben to sirens time talking to us and giving is the ones and outs of his creations. Our server was Sienna, who was bright and personable, and worked side by side with Chef Ben to make our meal memorable. We started our meal with oysters. Chef gave us his recommendations and they were has delicious as he hyped them up to be. Then we tried the lobster guacamole, which the star of the shows was actually the bacon lardon that's layered in. A must try for anyone who loves this dip. I had the pineapple braised pulled pork tacos. I could barely finish two, yet alone the 3 healthy sized tacos. And my girlfriend was treated to both the crab cake and the specialty salmon cakes. She proclaimed the salmon the winner of that cake battle. For desert, which we didn't finish either, was the berry cobbler. I compared it to an oversized toaster strudel, but homemade and much more flavorful. Overall, we love it here. This is our 2nd trip and we'll be sure to come again soon! Pro Tip: sit at the Oyster Bar, watching the kitchen working is a phenomenal experience. Thank you again to Chef Ben and Sienna! And look, they also have events coming up!!

There was an open lawn and games like corn hole for waiting customers to play with. We were helped almost immediately by the servers which was great since we had our two active toddlers with us. We ordered the peach pizza and fries. Both were delicious and were brought to us in under 10 mins after ordering. We met another family with kids due to the open seating. Our bill was brought to us right away and we were helped frequently through lunch. What more can you ask for?! Oh good music, they had that too :)

Good drinks and service, no outside food…read more I have been coming to Nashoba Valley Winery for years now. They have a spectacular variety of wines, liquors and beers to choose from. Their beverage offerings really run the gamut, and are worth stopping in to peruse. I particularly like the fruit wine here, and always make it a point to get a bottle. Their property is very large and has planted vines and fruit trees on the farm. In the store you will find their products, a bar, and a restaurant. They also have a huge event space and tasting room that demonstrates some very nice wood beam construction. They offer glasses and bottles as well as guided tastings, and another tasting system where you buy tokens that can be exchanged at different rates for a taste of one of their products. This system can be frustrating and a bit disjointed (lots of getting up and down and exchanging tokens). They do allow you to buy more tokens to try more drinks, and you even get to keep your glass! Service is wonderful as always. The staff are very attentive and kind to the visitors. I will comment that Nashoba does not allow outside food. This can be very disappointing if you plan on bringing your own charcuterie. They do offer food on a limited menu. This can be disappointing for picky eaters, but they do try to offer a variety of items for everyone to enjoy. Definitely make a trip out here for some delicious drinks!!
