"Longtime contract brewer, first-time brewery: Backlash, established back in 2011, finally opened its own space in an old piano factory in Roxbury and took the readers’ choice vote for 2018 Bar of the Year. It’s a solid taproom, offering the now-expected combination of snacks, games, and the like, but it’s also a boon for its neighborhood, a fairly industrial intersection in Roxbury without too many dining and drinking options in the immediate vicinity." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
