Coastal Mass. Brewing

Coastal Mass Brewing in Beverly, MA for a flight+ & a pour of something dark to start off a three brewery trip in the area. I had heard about these guys in passing, but had never had any of their beer so I was going in completely blind. One thing I did know is that they used to be called Channel Marker Brewing founded in 2017, but rebranded in 2022 to Coastal Mass Brewing. Slowly making my way through the North Shore of Massachusetts this past year has been super rewarding with the awesome places I've checked out. A handful of beer reviewers & influencers invited me to join them which was really cool & of course a great excuse to get some content. I figured being a New England brewery there was a good chance they had some IPA's, it was the other styles I was really interested in though. There was six different IPA styles offered here & a pale ale, along with a blonde, Irish stout, seltzer & more so let's get into it. 🍻🍻🔥☘ I started off with a flight of four with the first taster being the TOWHEAD Blonde, a excellent blonde & super drinkable at 4.5%ABV. My second 4oz was the OKTOBERFEST Marzen, it was above average, bready, & sweet. My third taster was the first of three IPA's in a row, it was the ROD & REEL IPA. A nice solid New England hazy that checked all those citrus boxes. My fourth 4oz was the TAIL FIN IPA, another good hazy which I enjoyed just a bit more than the previous one. The fifth & extra 4oz was the CAPTAIN'S FEAST Triple IPA, a dangerous & deceiving hazy that tasted like a 7.6%ABV, but was a hefty 9.5%ABV. I took a trip to the darkside for my last beer with a full pour of THE COMMODORE Porter, there was a lot happening here with the peanut butter & chocolate, but I loved it. 🍻🍺🍫🔥 All of the seating options here including a few bar seats, tables, hightops & some rail seating. The brewery itself is inside a building with a few other businesses including some fun shops to check out. The aesthetic was simple, but fun with a good amount to check out & look at on the walls. There was a popcorn machine in the back with was really awesome & appreciated to soak up some of that beer before the next brewery. Really fun visit & some good beers made this a place I'd definitely swing back through again in the future, cheers! 🍻🍻🔥☘✌♥️🍺 BEERGASM RATING - 82/100 🍻🍻🍻🍆🍆🍆💦💦💦🔥🔥🔥☘☘☘✌♥️🍺 #craftbeer #supportlocal #beer #newengland

Beer was really good, got the cantina and hard seltzer. They have free popcorn which is a nice touch. Staff was really really nice. Great vibes in a cool art studio/office building. We drove from Boston and enjoyed our time in Coastal Mass

Good beer, cold taproom. If you want to get the wives and girlfriends then you need to invest in warming up the space. Service was great and the beers were all tasty

Tail Fin is seriously so good, on par with some of Treehouse’s IPAs for sure. And every other beer I’ve tried has also been great, they know what they’re doing here. The space inside is small and can get full/noisy, but it has a very friendly atmosphere!

I live in Beverly and what a treat to have such phenomenal beers up the street. As someone who loves Treehouse and Bissell, these guys are truly neck n neck especially in the IPA and Sour Game. Go here once a week for a reason - unreal beers & very nice service

Great beer. Free popcorn. Awesome staff. I’m from out of the area and this place is a hidden gem. Definitely check them out.

Over Priced: At least it's now called a 13oz poor, still @ $10.50 for a pint of 7% ABV beer is a bit excessive & 16% more expensive than TreeHouse. Update 9/22. Price of beer is very high, especially for @ brewery. They serve 12 oz @8.50 which is $11.33 for a 16oz. Reasonable? Very Solid Beer, small place. Little tough to find with only a small sign outside. It's in the bottom Right of PORTER MILL BUILDING (sign out front).

I attended a private event held here hosted by the Beverly/Salem Chabad house on Friday night and was blown away with the hospitalty, service, coziness and beer! What an incredible venue! One of the owners, Tim was gracious and personable. I tried three of the 10 beers they had listed and all of them were unique & yummy! I loved that they aired The Celtics game, too on their large flat screen TV! And their holiday decore was tastefully spread out. I also admire their display of abstract art created by local artists. This is a win win place to stop into for a cold, home made beer while chit chatting among locals. I will be back!

Glad my friends came with me to Coastal Mass, otherwise, I would not have fell in love with the Queen's Siren. I always end up with an IPA of some sort, but the Queen's Siren is a sour, but well balanced fruit punch. Got my first growler from here filled with the Queen's Siren and plan to be back at some point. Their beer is on rotation, so as of this review, the Queen's Siren was erased off the list (it was that good!). If I remember correctly, CMB has been around at least 5 yrs. There's no food truck because it's such a small brewery, but I saw some restaurants sprinkled along the street. So far, nothing has beat CMB on sours.

I always love to stop in CMB when I visit family in Beverly. The staff is always so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, the space is very cute (although I wish there were more outdoor seating options, but alas), and of course, the beer is fantastic. The popcorn is a great addition to the experience. Looking forward to my next trip back!

I had no clue how many awesome breweries Beverly had to offer! My boyfriend and I did a little brew-hop around town a few months ago, and Channel Marker was by far my favorite stop. They have an adorable little space with plenty of seating and local art on the walls. Super friendly bartenders, delicious beer, and a popcorn maker! What more could you really want. Their beer was interesting and very tasty - coming from someone who doesn't love all beers, this means a lot. We are looking forward to coming back and visiting again soon!

Best beer in Beverly a bit expensive too many kids but best tasting beer like great rhythm

Decent beer, friendly staff and nice Atmosphere located in downtown Beverly. A definite revisit in the future and try the outdoor seating this time.

Small Place New brewery that opened in January 2019. This is small place that holds about 50 people and it gets busy. The servers were very attentive and knowledgeable. The product is high quality. Some fine beers, however they do taste similar. Cool little spot to stop in and grab a flight and meet some nice people. Thanks

Thought this was a cool spot to hang out and drink beer! I like how it's underground so sitting by the windows was fun for people watching. It did get busy but i enjoyed the large table seating with chairs all around. It made it feel like a friendly place which would be fun for netting people. As for the beers, I thought the commodore and smooth sailing were the best of the bunch. I would def come back!

There are three great breweries in Beverly Massachusetts. This makes this small town even better. Channel Marker by far has the best recipe for juicy New England style IPAs. The staff is also terrific, welcoming, and friendly. My wife is not a fan of IPAs, but their sour is a big hit with her. This place is dog friendly and kid friendly.

The most limited draft list of the breweries we tried, but a great space with free popcorn and friendly staff. I enjoyed the beer I had, but I knew it was the only one on the list I'd like.

Fantastic brewery!!! Stephanie waited on us at the bar and gave excellent recommendations. We bought some souvenir glasses-- and Stephanie made sure they were safety wrapped. Highly recommend.

A fun, friendly small brewery in Beverly. A friend and I dipped in and did a sampler. We sat at a night top--also had bigger communal tables and an outdoor seating area. Tried a few, and had a good time catching up. They seem to have a lot of sours, so if you like that I think you'll be happy!

Love the beers. 5 beers on tap. Well worth the stop. Channel Marker does a real nice job of creating an environment.

This place has super yummy beer. Great staff, fun vibe and you will want to hang out here. My fav Homeport, and Portside. Yummo!

Quickly becoming a destination brewery for those in search of unbelievable juicy hazy NE IPAs. They also have sours and stouts equally as good. Food trucks on the weekends which is nice or you can bring your own food.

Best beer in beverly. Great atmosphere. Love the rotating siren. The new merch is awesome.
