    Stand towards the back when they are explaining the brewing process. It means you get into the tasting room first. (via Scoville) Read more

    Great free tour. You get to sample 7 oz each of three beers at the end of the tour. Must do if you are visiting Boston!

    This is where it all started! Take a tour and try the Boston Brick Red, which is only served in the Tap Room!

    Show up early on Saturdays or during the summer and you won't have to wait as long for your tour. Also taking the T is mich easier don't drive.

    Cool Boston experience when you're in the area, but probably not worth a trip otherwise

    They don't sell production beer! That is, you can't buy a case of beer, just growlers.

    A FREE tour with three FREE beers at the end. A donation isn’t mandatory, but would only make sense in return for such generosity.

    If visiting from out of town, take the T to get there. The mileage isn't far, but by foot you pass through some "interesting" neighborhoods.

    Do not drink from the pitcher unless you want to be kicked out... And the excuse, "good to the last drop" isn't a valid reason either. Oops :)

    Sign up for their mailing list to be invited to the monthly Open House. You get at least three free drinks and there's a different theme for each event.
