Cisco Brewers

Fresh beers on tap, spirits, food trucks, merch, tours, and live music make for a festive atmosphere on the south side of ACK. Feels like a fraternity party for grown-ups and their kids. A great place to spend an afternoon. Car and bike parking, plus a shuttle bus from town. Cisco’s beers are solid, and there’s always a good rotation of year-rounds and seasonals on tap, some of which you can only find at the brewery. (Unfortunately, admission is extremely limited during COVID times, and guests must stay in seats at tables. Long waits during prime hours. Still, a great time to be had for the whole family.)

Fun spot that’s constantly busy during the summer months. The mostly outdoor layout has a patio and stage surrounded on three sides by the Cisco taproom, a wine bar, and a distillery. There were 10-12 Cisco beers on tap, including a few taproom-only specials. The beer quality was generally solid. Prices are steep (this is Nantucket, after all). Expect to spend $6-7 on for a 12oz pour. Food isn’t prepared onsite, but there’s always a few foods trucks and raw bar stand open. Overall, this is really the only solid option for beer on the island. Worth checking out.

So much fun! You need to get out to Nantucket to try out a sunday funday here! Tents/small outbuildings with wine, beer, booze... food trucks, raw bar, and swag store. Live bands all day, people hanging out with their dogs. It’s a great time!

This is not your typical brewpub to be sure. More of a commune really with a small tasting room/tent, distillery tat in room, and a huge outdoor area. Bands were playing the place was packed. Summer time in Nantucket doesn’t get much better. Unfortunately the beers are not the main attraction here.

My wife and I made a couple of trips out here this year. First trip was in the off season and we were able to get in touch with Jeff and arrange a tour ahead of time. Great tour or the brewery, lots of information about the barrels they’ve been keeping for The Woods series. The taproom is small and when it’s not peak season, is a wonderful place to hang out. We came back during the busy season and actually even then the taproom was a great place to be, as most everyone else from the huge crowds of people there were happier sitting outside. Usually a few of the standard beers on and some of the more interesting stuff. They have bottles of some of the corked and caged stuff as well for takeaway, and growlers as well. Very friendly down to earth staff, and a great place to spend an afternoon. We’ll be back again.

This is a great place to visit on a summer day. There is a very nice patio section, where you can try different Cisco offerings, including wines and liquors. You can’t beat this place for ambience and friendly service. When I was there, the woman I was with knew one of the owners, and he gave us a grand tour of the premises with detailed descriptions of their brewing and distilling operations! I have happy memories of my visit to Cisco, and I bet you will too.

Établissement visité le vendredi 22 juin en après-midi lors d’une pause vélo. Ambiance: Le site se divise en trois batiments: la brasserie, la distillerie et le vignoble. Le site est super agréable l’été avec sa terrasse. Musique folk lors de mon passage (Xavier Rudd). Service: Le meilleur service de mon voyage, on m’a fait goûté à tout ce qui était disponible. Normallement la palette de dégustation comprends 6 produits, on m’en a fait goûté 9. Sélection: 6 fûts de disponible plus quelques bières en bouteilles. (51e rating d’établissement)

This place is a blast in the summer. We used to show up every saturday to watch my friends band play. Either sit at a nice patio, at the bar, or on the lawn and drink the cisco brews out of a pint or 64oz growler. They even have wine tasting at the other building. Really friendly staff and great brews on tap.
