"Cambridge Brewing Company in Kendall Square is technically a brewery in that it, uh, brews beer. But this place is not really what you think of when you see the term “brewery” - it’s a restaurant, and one that frequently gets packed despite serving pretty standard pub food. The beer is pretty great, though. This is one of Boston’s oldest breweries, and it has a big selection as a result, including a few excellent beers, like their flagship Flower Child IPA and a great Russian stout. If you typically stay away from breweries because you only like to drink in places where you can also get buffalo chicken tenders, then this spots for you." - dan secatore
