Cambridge Brewing Company

Old school brewpub vibe. Beers generally decent, flights available (now pick your own). Ate brunch, was good. Place was pretty busy and staff seemed pretty stressed. Not a must visit, but definitely enjoyable.

The afternoon that I visited this place it was really busy. Found a spot at the bar and tried some of their beers. I had the taster of the standard 4 beers they provide and when the bar tender realized that I wanted to try more (I bought two more beers in normal size just to try them) he offered me more. The hoppy ones that I tried were so and so to OK but the two sour ones (one of their own and a collab with Jester King) were great! I would like to visit the place again at a time that it isnt crowded.

In central Cambridge right on Kendall Square, this is a fun place. Reasonably taplist of their own beers, with only pre-set flights available. Service is a bit cold, but prompt. Beer quality was decent. Not all it’s cracked up to be in my opinion but worth a visit.

Students life!

Visited on 5th October 2017. A really large and busy brewpub towards the centre of Cambridge. It's got 2 vast rooms which are airy and light plus a sizeable patio. It was a nice evening so relaxed outside. A solid list of beers with plenty of different and a couple of set flights made choices hard. Didn't bother with a flight and just had a couple of beers. Quality was ok. Prices and service were solid enough. It's an easy 10 or more rates and a nice enough venue.

I liked it a lot last time I was here, but this time it's not hitting. The beers were all duds, which was the big issue. Malts were a mess, and so was the yeast, like almost unprofessional in that sense. Service was ok, maybe a bit sluggish, but really the downturn in the beer since my last visit (2009) is the big story.

Located somewhere in Cambridge next to a BBQ place. It seems like it's located in the block where Cambridge turns from residential to corporate. Lots of Brick and beams and wood planking which makes it feel like a marketers idea of a brewpub. Of course it's loud and very difficult to hear conversation which makes it the perfect setting for the under 24 crowd. They had 13 on tap but you were only allowed to select from 2 pre-made flights. The food was solid but the fries were weirdly small like I was being served the grandkids of another order of fries. I'm afraid this one's only for the completists.

Large, airy space plus outdoor sitting. Two set flights available. Service was better when the bar sitting was mostly empty, once it filled up it was hard to get bartender’s attention. The beers are competent if unexceptional. Food was average. Flights are unlabeled, based on the menu, but the menu was taken away without asking in the middle of the tasting....
