Offering everything from IPAs to stouts, shandies, and more, these best breweries in Danvers, MA, will help quench your thirst!
Bent Water Brewing | Connect on Facebook
A visit to Bent Water Brewing will take you right to the heart of the bustling Lynn waterfront district, for great views and drinks all in one. They stake their claim on being the first brewery east of the Mississippi to use concrete vintner tanks, usually used for fermenting wine in the Sonoma Valley.
When you visit, we recommend trying the Thunder Funk IPA, Bent Water's best-selling beer. It's brewed with four hop varieties and three malts and delivers hints of mango, passionfruit, and citrus. If you like that, give their Double Thunder Funk a taste-it's new, but it's already receiving rave reviews!
Oak & Iron Brewing | Connect on Facebook
Oak & Iron Brewing specializes in New England inspired seasonal brews. Their five main beers are Andover Easy Ale (golden ale), Zug Spitze (cream ale), Red Spring Ale (red ale), Rivah Bendah (IPA) and Inky Depths (porter), but you'll find even more on tap at this brewery.
Aside from their communal taproom, you'll find an outdoor beer garden next to the gorgeous Shawsheen River, making for a great view and vibe. Visit for a 4-, 12-, or 16-ounce pour of your favorite brews. Oak & Iron fills growlers, too!
Ipswich Ale Brewery | Connect on Facebook
Ipswich Ale Brewery is one of the oldest craft breweries in New England, having opened their doors all the way back in 1991. Their on-site restaurant, The Ipswich Ale Brewer's Table, is a bit newer, and it's a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner with live music and 15 Ipswich beers on tap.
Try their Oatmeal Stout for a rich, malty taste with hints of chocolate and coffee-a perfect substitute for your after-dinner cup of joe. Their Route 101 IPA, a mix of malt and citrus flavors, is sure to satisfy!
