CBC <3s CBC. 2014 marks the 25 years for Cambridge Brewing Company, so keep your eyes open for special releases & events. Try something sour. If you see a Beer Geek hoodie, that's our man Alex!

By far the best brew pub in greater Boston. Be sure to try the house beers, but their bread and butter are brews from the barrel cellar. Anything wild and funky = amazing.

An extraordinarily experimental local brew pub. Short rib poutine and a pizza topped with local foraged mushrooms are different from the usual pub fare, and an outdoor patio offers coveted seats. Read more

Each beer tastes amazing and is very well priced. Try their special seasonals, you will not be disappointed. Also keep an eye out for their festivals, they're awesome!

CBC Burger is absolutely delicious. And that's coming from someone who doesn't ever order red meat at a restaurant, never mind a burger. Oh, and best pickle ever!

Check out Mass Appeal. A local collaboration with Night Shift, Idle Hands, Enlightenment, and Mystic. Deliciously citrusy w/ fresh seat and juice from a dozen different citrus fruits.

Had some great beers here. The bartender was very willing to "talk beer" with us, especially one of my travel companions who is a homebrewer. Great food, too.

Their seasonal Heather Scottish Ale was the best beer I've ever had. Dark, smooth and strong (10%). Have a fire outside in winter and enjoy a great seasonal menu. Their Pumpkinfest is to die for.

Try to name all the people in the mural, while enjoying delicious brews and food. I recommend the fish and chips.
Jacob SloanSeptember 27, 2013
Flights are the way to go. Don't leave without trying the strange and unusual like their experimental sake/beer hybrid, Nomi Sugi.
John OlsenSeptember 22, 2014
25 years 25 beers - lots of great brews both traditional and experimental.
Neilson AbeelSeptember 7, 2013
I liked this place a lot. Great food and friendly service. The porter was good but the amber ale was my favorite.
Trevor KentSeptember 14, 2014
Best nachos with more topics then chips which is a rare treat and the Heather Ale is to die for!
Mike CallahanMarch 5, 2015
I love the beer selection, always something new and unique. Great outdoor seating during the summer.
J McGeeJuly 29, 2013
Unexpected big fan of this place. Beer is an experimental (i.e. pepper, sake…), but food is awesome! The BLT is perfecto!!!

Excellent beer and food here. Try their pizzas or wings. Or just about anything else for that matter...
Nadya LyubyvaOctober 14, 2016
Great great beers! However OK burgers, cold fries and do not even try banoffee pie, it's a lazy joke of one.
sydney sMarch 22, 2015
The machinery at night and grantchester meadows and so unique! Also they have veggie chili on nachos!

Pizza and veggie burgers are great. One of the best pizza in town. And yes, beer... Lots of it!
Chris CrossJanuary 22, 2011
Great selection of beers (I had the tall tale ale) calamari and late bfast steak were amazing!! Definitely worth a visit whether it is for the food or the beer.
Nathan LichtensteinApril 14, 2018
Excellent food. Go for the fried brussel sprouts. The standard flight was decent.
Dean BrowellMay 8, 2012
Great beer (sample for $2 a try- many choices) and great brunch menu in particular (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

The beer is good, food is slightly above average, food items are really hit or miss

Great beers, awesome medals, dude at the bar has a bit of an attitude tho.
Lauren BennettJuly 17, 2013
Try the Jack Straw beer. Lots of citrusy goodness. Food here is great too and a manageable price.
Evan WeissJuly 15, 2011
Get the Dubbel Entendre if you like dark beers; the mollasses and dark caramelized sugar puts it over the top in the best way possible.
DaveSeptember 20, 2015
Try the wort ice cream - malty toffee caramel goodness. Like Christmas cake !
Alwyn VelasquezSeptember 2, 2012
Try the BBQ Burger - Juicy and delicious-a perfect compliment to the crispy fries that came with it.

Their Pumpkin Festival is mandatory. The Heather Scotch Ale is one of my favorite beers. Food is just as great.

Mark your calendar for CBC Pumpkin Fest around Halloween. It's an amazing selection of over 40 different pumpkin beers. Spectacular event!

A beer tower is really the only way to go if you have three or more people

The mushroom and egg pizza is fantastic. Wash it down with a Tell Tale Ale.

CBC is a lesson in heartbreak. Whenever you fall in love with a beer, it goes away. But happily, there's always a new one to take its place and fall in love again.

I came for beer pairings and infused food and only saw a single burger made with beer. Disappointed for that and the just ok beers.

Try the 2008 Blunderbuss...it is pricey but worth it. You may get to compare with the 2010. Very different!
