Notch Brewery & Tap Room - Salem

The 15 Best Breweries In Boston 2024 - Boston - The Infatuation

"Remember when everyone was going full send on IPAs? Well, around the same time, the founder of Notch Brewing went in the complete opposite direction to focus on session-style beers. Order their crisp, Czech-style lager and you might even get educated about the nuance of a mlíko pour, which is mostly a bunch of flavorful wet foam. Notch’s Brighton location is spacious, but the indoor area can fill up quickly on weekends—they share the all-season outdoor patio with other small business vendors in the complex. Get some pies from Pizza Project and empanadas from Super Bien, or something from Notch’s own kitchen that’s pumping out flavorful pretzels and German-style sandwiches." - valerie li stack
