Oh, sweet, sweet, brewery hopping, it’s arguably one of the best social activities. You can drink a tiny beer, or four. You can go non-alcoholic, or go for cider, or simply show up to eat. Most importantly, they’re cheap! Usually, a visit will cost around $15 for a couple beers and an appetizer to keep full while tasting.

Better yet, stop by at one of the breweries that’s offering exclusive discounts for transit riders! Simply showing your Compass Card or proof of same-day fare. It’s a no brainer taking transit to breweries —  everyone gets to try a drink when no one’s driving.

Brewery visits are a bit of a game, in pacing yourself and choosing the right beers for you. Tasters are obviously great because they’re so little and allow you to be more adventurous when trying new beers. You could even split a flight with a friend!

Take note of how many you’d like to visit to figure out what you should get at each — perhaps starting with tasters to get the best variety. If you’ve got a type of beer you love, those are an easy go-to at these quality breweries.
