Naukabout Brewery and Taproom Is a great place to try a new brew, hang out with friends in a fun indoor and outdoor space. They have some good brew bites as well as an emphasis on community involvement. Not only do they have some fantastic beers they have some great hard seltzers as well. I've always found the service to be friendly, attentive and fun! And this is a great place to just connect with friends and family, have fun and take a little pressure off our hectic lives. So if you're up in Mashpee make sure you check it out! read more

This is a great brewery located in the woods. They have a large beer menu, with multiple choices that will appeal to most. They also serve cocktails and frozen drinks. A full food menu is also available. Three years ago we stopped here enroute to Ptown to check out their lactose (milkshake) beers. They were unique and delicious. This year there was just one, the Creamsicle, and it is a delicious beer. I also enjoyed the Sumner Ale, and had the Irish stout before. There is plenty of seating, inside and out. Naukabout is a nice place to enjoy beer and food. read more

I have to start this review with the worst part...bad clam chowder in New England. Read on for deets. The location is nice enough, though the advertised lake view is obscured by trees. 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. read more

How fun is this place? Quaint and laid back. Weird beers, weird beer-based drinks, pubby food and really delightful staff. Wine slushies for the kid in you. The brat was REALLY GOOD! Served in a buttered and toasted bun. DELICIOUS. If you are shlepping around with nothing to do... waltz in! Just worth the visit! read more

Great selection of beer and food along with wine slushies. They have an indoor area along with a large outdoor area and Bar with plenty of picnic tables and seating outside. read more

My friend threw his husband's 30th birthday party here on 7-19-25. There was a Kenny Chesney cover-band playing too. The manager was amazing and reserved a prime spot for the party. The apps and pizza were perfect for the event. Well done Naukabout! read more

Naukabout - Breweries Near Me - Mashpee, Massachusetts

What a great local brewery. We really enjoyed all the levels of outdoor seating that terraced up the hill. it is sort of hidden and off the beaten path, which always adds to the appeal for me. There is plenty of parking, brightly colored walls and decorations and shade areas, and several places to order a beer. I am not the biggest fan of heavy beers or stout, but they had quite a few and they had great clever names on them! I can't speak for them but I did like the other lighter lagers and drafts that we tried. We did a flight of IPAs and loved loved loved them! While it is right next to a small body of water, it is a shame that they cannot connect to it or allow you to bring beer over there. Super pretty to look at and very scenic nonetheless! read more

What a gem. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and great ambiance to capture the Cape feel. Enjoy many beers and seltzers on tap with ample selection to make anyone satisfied. If you're not sure, ask for a sample and/or a flight. Thankfully, I sampled their Dunes on the Cape Milkshake IPA. I was hesitant to try this because it's marketed as a Piña Colada IPA and didn't want something sweet. Holy goodness, this was unbelievable, with strong notes of pineapple and coconut. Fun beer - I grabbed a four pack to go as well as a hat bearing the beer's name. Outdoor space is open with numerous picnic tables with umbrellas. There are multiple tiers to their patio to spread out find a seat. Check out the music schedule because we were fortunate to arrive during their live music on Saturday afternoon. If you're hungry, they have food (get the pretzel bites). Highly recommended. Don't forget to grab some swag and crowlers. read more

Cool brewery on Cape located conveniently in Mashpee. They have lots of parking, some good food options and really good beer. Their outdoor seating is plentiful, which allows for table service. There is also the option to order beers at the bar and seat yourself. They allow for tasters, but unfortunately don't serve flights on the weekends which was super disappointing. It seems bizarre since most people exploring the Cape are wanting to try different beers and are usually going to be doing so on the weekends. I think that making this small change would make for a drastic improvement. I definitely would bring more people here when they were visiting if they offered that option. Otherwise, super cool spot! read more

The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly. The atmosphere was so lovely! It was still somewhat cold outside but you can tell it's got to be a fun place to hang out during the summer and nicer weather. They said they have the igloos up outside in the winter too! The beer is yummy! Can't speak for the food because we didn't eat but the vibes were great overall! read more

Naukabout - Some of the outside but not even close to all of it. And the main building - Breweries Near Me - Mashpee, Massachusetts

I've been visiting Naukabout for over 6 years. They were once an excellent brewer of excellent craft beers. Now they've become a loud, amusement park-like event destination that happens to make beer. There is certainly a profitable market for that, so I say good luck to them. Too many loud kids unsupervised by the parents. Loud, uncreative music. Food is served cold. And they've changed their beer offerings to sweet stuff, abandoning their once great core offerings from ago (e.g. Camp Fire). I won't be back because they've abandoned their quality beer loving customers. There are several excellent true craft brewers on the Cape you should go visit instead. Naukabout, have fun being more like average Cape Cod Beer. If you need a place to bring your family, golf buddies or you don't care about good beer, Naukabout is now the place for you. read more

We visited Naukabout on a late weekday afternoon. We had a couple solid IPAs and a tasty mango passionfruit shandy. Multiple outdoor seating areas. Sitting outside in a beautiful setting, drinking a good beer, what more could you want? Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend checking out. read more

Great little hangout restaurant and beer company. Most of the seating is outside on different levels of a hill and some down below and a couple spots inside. There is always a great selection of beers and snack foods such as pretzel bites, clam chowder, chips and dips, lobster rolls, stuffed quahogs and some kids snacks with juice boxes. We love coming here and bringing our friends esp with kids. There are yard games and such to keep them occupied and sometimes live music. read more

Naukabout Beer Company is a craft brewery that opened in Mashpee, Massachusetts in March 2018. It was founded by business partners Brook Conley, Peter Murner and Mark Germani. The three had originally founded the Naukabout Music Festival in 2008 before conceiving the idea of opening a brewery. The Naukabout beer brand was officially founded in 2012, but it would take several more years before their brewing facility opened to the public. The name "Naukabout" comes from Conley's father. After a long day at work, the elder Conley would tell his sons to change out of their "work-a-bout" shoes and into their "nauk-a-bouts", an accented version of the term "knockabouts". Essentially it means to do what you love to do when you are finished doing what you have to do. Additional partners Greg Sellers and Russ Gentile were brought into the fold, and Leif Rotsaert was hired as the head brewer. The founders' goal was to capture the spirit of Cape Cod in a can... a beer can, that is. My wife and I visited Naukabout Beer for the first time in July 2019. We had visited a couple of other breweries on the Cape, and Naukabout was our last stop of the day. They had a beautiful taproom and a very large outdoor biergarten; very impressive setup. Unfortunately, Naukabout doesn't offer beer flights but they do offer short pours. The brewery had a very impressive draft offering. A great deal of their offerings were my favorite style: Hazy New England IPAs. I had trouble picking what I wanted to sample. I ended up sampling four different ones, but my favorite was "Millie Vanillie": a New England Vanilla Milkshake IPA. I ended up purchasing some canned four-packs of "Rail Trail" (a New England IPA) and "Black Beach" (an Imperial Chocolate Stout) to take home. I think it's safe to say that Naukabout is my favorite brewery on the Cape. I've made a point to stop in on all subsequent visits to the area. read more

This place is so much fun and is very well laid out with lots of relaxing spots for you to enjoy their delicious brews. You can even sit overlooking a beautiful lake. If you like IPAs you will not be disappointed here. The food is very good we even enjoyed our 1st quohog! We saw a lot of families with kids as well as they have games to keep them occupied. Give it a try! read more

This place has so much potential to be awesome... Great outdoor seating with wooden tables and benches, nice decor, cool souvenirs, etc. However, the beer itself fell short in our opinion. Here's my 3 main reasons you should skip a visit to this "brewery": 1. The beer menu is exclusively non-traditional flavored beers. So if don't like the taste of beer and preferred it mixed with other flavors such as strawberry, blueberries, or Pina colada, then you are in the right place. For us, we prefer to drink beer that is done well and taste like beer. 2. $7 for a small 10 oz pour is a bit steep - you can easily rack up the bill when you are trying to find a good one to drink. 3. Slow service on 'food' - due to COVID19, they must offer food with drinks. So they have a limited menu for this rule... who knew prepackaged Hummus/salsa with a bag of chips and hot dogs could take more than 30 min to prepare?! It's safe to say we'll be skipping this one next time we are in the area. read more

This Place would be great if - 1. 10oz beers (only option) didn't cost $7 2. There were more than 5 food options (2 of which were out of stock) The beer options are unique and plentiful. There's some stuff here that I've never seen before and I would have loved to try more had they had flight options. The pale ale was good and I'd be happy to drink it again. The Millie Vanillie milkshake was too sweet for my liking but very unique nonetheless. The outdoor patio is huge and social distancing isn't difficult. Would have been nice had they had a high chair for my little one. read more

I came here yesterday and sampled pretty much all their IPA's. The Virtual: Hair Cut and their DIPA really stood out. The 1972 was also delicious. Their wasn't one beer here that wasn't fantastic. The outdoor seating here is great and the service was spot on. I find it annoying that the state is forcing breweries to serve food. I opted for the salsa and pita chips. I thought $5 was a bargain for this as you get an entire jar of salsa and a pretty big bag of pita chips. I definitely plan on returning in the near future. read more

Love It!!! I visit the Cape often, grew up in Bourne. Always stop for the fun and beer!!!

Great drink selection for adults and the small plate style food was delicious. The hot dog with clam chowder was delicious. Wish they had a few more non alchoholic options for people that aren't drinking. read more

I first tried Naukabout's beer at a festival last year but never made it around to the brewery! So after biking the canal I decided to take the short drive to Mashpee and check it out! The property is very Cape Cod! Lots of natural wood and nautical themes going on. They have food trucks wed-sat/sun? and recently stopped on Tuesdays(my visit was on a Tuesday.) However they did offer animal crackers to snack on while trying some of their great beers! My fave was the Y'all Open! I also liked their milkshakes series IPAs, I tired the blueberry one. The staff was friendly, and acknowledged everyone even if you weren't served right away. They have tons of cute merchandise too, I ended up buying one of their hats and some Y'all Open togo(they have plenty of 4-packs!) If you're on the Cape, check them out! read more

Naukabout - Sampler of IPAs - Breweries Near Me - Mashpee, Massachusetts

Well this was a fun little cape find! My family of four took a road trip out to the cape and found Naukabout Brewery. The menu looked like it would satisfy all of us, so we found our way there. My favorite part was the outdoor setup. There were plenty of picnic tables with umbrellas to code from in multiple sections. The informal ness of the set up made it easy with two young kids. There's a window to order brews and a table to order food. The food gets brought to you when it's done (be sure to look for your section number before making your way to the table), and it came out pretty quickly. We got the pretzel bites to share. I'm the only one to try the dips, one of which did nothing for me. However the beer cheese dip was awesome! I also ordered the clam chowder as did my 7 year old. We both really liked it. My husband raved about the chili and my 4 year old was very happy to eat his hot dog. The beer was pretty good too. My husband's choice were a little bla, but he's a basic bloke and was happy with them. I got the dunes of the cape and milli vanilli milkshake brews. Honestly, these were pretty amazing and not like anything I have tried before. I'm kicking myself for not having even looked into getting a four pack of either! A great little detail of our day was that they had live music playing on a Saturday afternoon. It was a nice vibe on a beautiful cape day! read more

I agree with past reviews: this place has so much potential. Super cute space, live the outdoor movie screen, friendly bartender and staff, ample parking. If you look at the lower reviews, there is definitely a trend: 1. Beer is only about 10 oz for $7 - aside from being over priced, most people want a decent sized beer when sitting down to enjoy a drink. Serve a pint, and I am sure it won't be dead on a Friday night in June. 2. Lots of choices, but the majority were IPAs and fruity beer. If that's what you like, great, but more variety appeals to more types of people. 3. Breweries should have flights. I've been to many breweries, and this is the first that didn't have that option. It makes it fun to do a tasting. So, cute place, but I would not return unless they changed to more reasonable sized pour and more variety of style on tap. read more

A great brewery with plenty of beer styles to sample and within walking distance to Mashpee pond. They offer indoor seating with large TVs but the best seats are outside on their tiered rock patios. The outdoor seating is vast with space to spread out. The beer options are plentiful with in house draft or cans to take with you. The beer is very good but in some cases did not live up to the description. For example the Dunes of the Cape - Pina Colada Milkshake IPA did not present with any notes of coconut or pineapple. However the Salmon Pants - Strawberry Hefe was so good that we bought a four pack of cans to take home. It has a great balance of strawberry and raspberry flavor and perfect for a hot summer beach day. Don't pass by this brewery without stopping in to check out their offerings and take a quick walk through the path in the woods to checkout Mashpee Pond. read more

Great beer (mainly Ipas) with live music=good vibes. The people working here are really friendly and the regulars seem like cool folks.

I will let the Cape Cod brewers in on a secret. The rest of Massachusetts, New England, pours either 12 ounce or pint beers. I forgot that the Cape short poured everything. Down here, the breweries pour 10 ounces or less and charge full price, good money for it. My wife asked for a half pour 5 oz, I took a full pour, 10 oz.. We ordered two IPAs. We were charged for two full pours at almost $ each. $14 for 15 oz total. The double ipa is not what I expected, thin and light. Both were not brewed in the traditional way and did not taste like IPA styles that we have locally. Central Massachusetts has some great breweries. Folks, head up to Holden, or Westminster or Charlton or many other places. Woonsocket RI has great double IPA. This beer did not resemble what we are familiar with. read more

Naukabout - Waiting to be seated that NEVER CAME - Breweries Near Me - Mashpee, Massachusetts

I wish I could've tried their beers! But they tried to "interpret" Baker's new restaurant law as requiring every visitor who orders a drink as also being required to order an entree, even though the rule says: "For each customer, an item of prepared food must be ordered at the same time as an initial alcoholic beverage(s) order. One or more shareable food item(s) may be ordered, as long as it/they would sufficiently serve the number of people at the table." So, when they tried to force all of us to order individual food items at 4:30 PM, we bounced. Would've happily bought more beers, less chips and salsa. Bogus. read more

I like my Hops, this place serves them up with overkill. 2 - 3 years ago we ( another IPA lover and I) were excited to travel over to Mashpee to check out the place. We each got a flight, tasted, and ordered the one we liked best and 2nd choice. When we got the 2nd round we realized we couldn't taste one from the other, the overkill. Disappointment. 1st Shocker we were served 12 OZ pours 2nd Shocker they charged what we would pay for a Premium PINT any Brewery East of there. Party On -M read more
