9 oz pour. Nice sized glass.
Ginger S.

The Scarlet Vetter says....while waiting for a flight back home in the Boston Logan Airport I had some time to kill and was feeling a little peckish. I stopped into this place as there was room at the bar and other places seemed very busy, given that it was the weekend of the Boston Marathon. There was a QR system to order but halfway through the bartender asked me what I wanted so I placed an order that way. I ordered a glass of wine and a glass of water. The wine came but no water. The wine was served in a nice sized glass. I asked again for water and five minutes later it arrived. I ordered a Chicken Quesadilla....it was mighty mediocre. Not well presented either, but at least it was warm. When I wanted to leave, it took 10 minutes to get the bartender's attention (who always seemed to be doing something other than paying attention to the patrons.) If you are starving, and there are not other options, by all means, go here. But you might do better at a different restaurant.

This is in the airport. I went when nobody was eating. It was just a couple people at the bar with drinks only. They don't let you sit in a booth when you are a single. I guess when it's crowded it makes sense. I ordered pretty quickly. That's where the positives end. About 10 minutes after me, someone else walks in and sits at the big table with me. She orders and gets her appetizers before me. About 25 minutes after I ordered, my clam chowder arrives. I thought I had plenty of time. Now I don't. Boarding is in 5-10 minutes and I still have to walk a ways. As you can see in the picture, the spoon looks like they found it on the side of the road. Not only is it not a soup spoon, it looks like it could be found in a prison. Soup is average. It's hot though! Tacos arrive after I push the soup away. Wow they look great as you can see from the photo. After a few bites, it tastes really dry. I think they forgot to put the sauce on there. Unfortunately, I don't have 25 minutes to wait for a replacement. I eat 2 of the 3 and ask for the check. He did bring the check fast. I guess I should have ate at the other seafood place.

Wasn't able to go to the Sam Adams Brewery while I was in town for a conference. Was super excited that there is now a little Sam Adams satellite restaurant in the airport. It offers a lot more food options than the main brewery in JP. Fewer beer options, though... I think they really only had maybe 4 Sam Adams beers on tap? Decent location to grab a quick beer before a flight. Came around lunch time but it wasn't too busy. Surprisingly took a bit of time for my food to come out even though I ordered basic chicken tenders lol. The atmosphere was pretty cool though. Gives a chill bar scene and makes you forget that you're stuck at Logan Airport lol.

The Bloody Mary was good. Not the best I've ever had, but not bad... The fish tacos were surprisingly bland considering all the ingredients listed for them. Service was horribly slow, but I understand that's an issue wherever you go nowadays. Just at an airport, it just doesn't work that well. The prices were high, but I guess that's standard at an airport. Just seems WRONG, seein' as it's the same food / drink you'd get elsewhere. Would probably try another restaurant if I were in this particular concourse of the Boston airport.

Visited this establishment waiting on our flight back home. Also got hooked on the Oktoberfest while in Boston. Darn this beer for only being seasonal, what ever will we drink the rest of the year. This was our first visit to Boston, so I had to do all the cliche stuff. Had the clam chowder here. It was good. The drinks were pricy.

Beer!

Definitely worth every penny, and probably more. My girlfriend and I aren't really beer drinkers, but what the heck, when in Rome. The tour was nice, it was mostly in one big room and the tour guide talking. But hey, we had beer in our hands the whole time. They explain the history and that this brewery is now really used for research and development which is neat because you can taste what they're working in. Then they bring you to a tasting room and explain how you should taste a beer as a professional would. Overall, top notch, worth the price and definitely something to do while in Boston! Highly recommend.

Great place to grab a beer and snack. Freshest Sam Adams on tap aside from the brewery. The pricing for drinks and beverages was a little steep for what you get. However I get the appeal. Great gift shop with fair prices.

My friend and I are in town in Boston for a few days and wanted something fun and different to do. Neither of us had ever done a brewery tour, so voilà. We came in about five minutes after a tour had left but they helped us join that tour so that we wouldn't have to wait an hour. We started by learning about the ingredients in beer and did a hop smell test. After we were walked through the actual brewing process. Super cool and informative! The end was a tasting which included a demonstration into how judges actually appraise the quality of beer. Super cool, and our guide was very fun. All around great way to spend an hour in Boston, and you can go to the tasting room after if you want to try even more of their beer - this Sam Adams does their R&D so you can actually taste some of the hundreds of beers that will never make it onto the market!

My first brewery
Eric L.

Every beer geek starts somewhere in the craft beer world. I will always have a soft spot for the beers that I started on in my craft beer path. These include: Sam Adams Boston lager, cherry wheat, DFH 60 minute IPA and brown ale and guinesss. These are my gateway beers into the craft brew world. In 2009 I went to Boston and visited the Sam Adams brewery, the first of now over a hundred that I've been to. After a short walk from the train stop we arrived and went on the tour. Now I can recite to you what will be said in most brewery tours, they all follow the same recipe. Come look at the giant tanks that we boil the malt and hops in, it's now called mash. By the way, beer is 4 ingredients- water, malt, yeast, hops. Did you know about the German beer law? Here's a malt taste it, here's a hop smell it. Look at all of our barrels of beer storing and here's some history of our company, in this case Jim Cook. Now this being the first tour I've ever done, I was actually very entertained and learned quite a bit. Fast forward to the tasting room. The trick here is to go with at least a few people who don't drink beer. Seeing as I went with a bunch of Asian people who get the Asian glow (allergic reaction to alcohol), that way I got at least 2 glasses of each beer. I can't remember how many beers I had for some reason... but I recall part of the line up was Boston lager, Boston ale, Octoberfest, cherry wheat, cream stout, and maybe their light. All of their beers are solid and easily accessible to all beer drinkers. The rest of my time at the brewery is fuzzy so let's end my story here. If you are interested in beer but don't know where to start, this is a great first step into craft beer. The gateway of craft beer! I highly recommend this to all aspiring alcoholics. Atmosphere: 4/5 Food/drink: 4/5 Cost: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Overall: 4/5

Great lively spot with excellent variety!…read more Trillium is such a fun spot to meet up with people. The atmosphere is definitely loud, but it has a great, lively energy that makes for a fun night out. One of the best parts about this brewery is that they distill their own spirits, so you have plenty of great options even if you aren't in the mood for beer. They don't offer traditional flights, but you can ask for two half-pours (about 5 oz each) to try a couple of different things. Here is what we tried: Out of This World: This mixed drink tasted like an upscale mai tai. It was beautifully cloudy and made with real passion fruit puree. Delicious! Coffee Pot & Kettle Stout: Absolute creamy goodness. This was my personal favorite, though I usually lean toward stouts anyway. Fort Point IPA (with Citra): My husband is the big IPA lover, and I usually attempt a taste with a lot of apprehension since I don't care for super hoppy beers. However, this one was surprisingly good! It felt more like a fruity, juicy hazy IPA. The listed pine notes were very subtle and gave it a really nice, balanced finish.

Great beer selection, solid food options and an excellent staff…read more Interior space was quite crowded with minimal to no space at the tables and bar...even on a Monday early evening. I would expect the outdoor space would come in handy once the weather warms up. Conveniently located right off of Seaport Blvd. surrounded by some other good food and dessert options. Lots of parks in the area, including Fan Pier Park, which offers some spectaculay views of the Boston Skyline...particularly after dark. Metered Street Parking was actually manageable, especially in the later post 6-pm midweek hours in the Fort Hill Square Area. Meters are in effect through 8pm with a 2-hour maximum, so if you arrive after 6pm and feed the meter until 8pm, you are all set for the night! The South Station (Red) T Station is also nearby. Both options are a short walk to Fan Pier Park. There are also lots of garages available in the immediate area as well.

Anyway we were excited having never been before! The space is not only huge, but also there's a whole another floor upstairs with the event room called the "Squirrel Den" - where they had the comedy show!! Downstairs they have plenty of seating plus the bar and even live music. You can also see the barrels of the whole brewery which adds to the ambience with the metallic shine. The comedy show was fun - a series of standup comics - fun night! The stage wall is essentially a mural of a bunch of beer cans art so it really compliments the space. There is a bar at the back too and restrooms within the room itself so very convenient. Downstairs there's also a shuffle board where we spent some time playing afterwards. Restrooms downstairs too plus a water filling station which I was very pleasantly surprised to see. The hubs ordered the blood orange cloud candy beer - he thought it was nice a metallic IPA, buzzy. Our friend had several drinks - not sure all the names but one of them was the Oktoberfest. Service was good, one of the comedians actually checked us into the room. And he even graciously took our photo for plus. He was hilarious! Overall a good time and we'll be back for sure!

I love the science of brewing beer , so it was great. It's only 45-60 minutes. It's considered their test kitchen brewery now, but was the first Sam Adam's brewery. You can taste the grains and smell the hops. They will taste what ever the current brew is. And they talk very well about the science of beer. In the tasting room, you will get a quick lesson on how to properly taste feel smell beer and how the taste may differ based on how you drink it. Well worth the cost and a great time

Learned a lot of interesting stuff about hops, grain, yeast, brew, artificial flavorings, Sam Adams history while walking their facilities and drinking beer. Tour guide has a sense of humor. The tour ends with more tastes in a tasting room. What is there not to like! Easy walk to public transit. No driving necessary.

Even tucked away at the end of a strip mall, it checks all the boxes: great beer, good food, plenty of space, and a fun atmosphere. The food comes from a little food truck outside the building rather than a traditional kitchen, but don't let that fool you, everything I've had has been delicious. My boyfriend is a loyal fan of the Cloud Candy IPA (he'll order it anywhere he sees it on tap), while I can never resist the Daiquiri Hard Smoothie (I forget what it's called, but it's so tasty lol). It's dangerously good... like, "I should probably pace myself, but that's a tomorrow problem" good. The brewery itself has a lot going on. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, a coffee shop tucked in the back, a private event room, and even a rock-climbing gym connected to the building, which makes for a pretty unique setup. If you're lucky, you'll even catch the canning line running while you're there, which is fun to watch and reminds you you're drinking the good stuff straight from the source. Whether you're meeting friends for a beer, hanging out for the afternoon, or introducing someone to craft beer, Mighty Squirrel is a solid choice. I'll definitely keep coming back!
