After checking out the famed Feneuil Hall and Quincy Market, my husband was ready to go on a sightseeing strike if I wouldn't have gotten him a beer! The Sam Adams tap room was there, but too crowded and popular. We love indie places so we went back to Distraction & Democracy and it was the wisest decision! The space is big, wide, the ladies working the counter are super helpful and friendly, we tried their Amber Ale, it was great, so we ordered a couple of cold ones. Lots of cool seating options, we got some in the shade at a table facing Faneuil Hall. Hard to beat that view! The beer was amazing, the place relaxing, some friendly folks around chilling, taking a break in action like us! They have clean portable toilets with water sinks and soap. Lots of them! Great experience! Enjoyed our well deserved beer break here! Fun and relaxing, cherished a cold one surrounded by the city's history! Cheers!

They make their own beer, spirits and wine which always makes me skeptical. If you make everything, can you do anything good? There was a live band playing when we arrived under a large tent. We ordered a few beers that were decent but nothing mind blowing and sat at one of their many picnic tables. The containers that you can rent are 200.00 for 2 hours and I don't get the benefit but to each teir own. Basically, you get your own tv and a piece of rope that separates you from the peasants and skip the bar line. I guess it's like a beer Fastpass. Also, the bathrooms are port-o-potties so it has festival grounds feel. Cool enough place and I am sure it's fun if you have a large group with you

The space is completely open air seating alcoves of outdoor furniture divided by plants and shrubbery. The main bar area is a high bar counter in front of a 60's style metal RV. This area is covered by a large overhead tent, and walking through/past it they set up a few small mini golf putting stations; free to putt around. Chill spot to grab a few beers and chill with friends.

This new-to-us brewery on the cute pedestrian-only Birch St. had an outdoor patio but we opted for seats inside. It's not a big place, but it has a good number of tables and bench seating in a brightly lit space. The Tall Man got the autumn flight of 4 beers (one being one of their maltinis), which he enjoyed for their variety. I wasn't up for imbibing so I got a Health-Aid kombucha from the fridge. (They also carry Athlete's nonalcoholic beer in cans.) They have some packaged snacks for purchase, but they encourage people to get food from local businesses to eat there. It was pretty darn convenient to pick up lunch from nearby Chilacates. It made for a very chill lunch and sip. We weren't even the only ones with a stroller! It was a relief to find a brewery that's not utterly mobbed and where we could bring the little one. I would definitely come back for another relaxing hangout.
