CBC <3s CBC. 2014 marks the 25 years for Cambridge Brewing Company, so keep your eyes open for special releases & events . Try something sour. If you see a Beer Geek hoodie, that's our man Alex!

By far the best brew pub in greater Boston. Be sure to try the house beers , but their bread and butter are brews from the barrel cellar. Anything wild and funky = amazing.

Boston.com

An extraordinarily experimental local brew pub . Short rib poutine and a pizza topped with local foraged mushrooms are different from the usual pub fare, and an outdoor patio offers coveted seats. Read more

Each beer tastes amazing and is very well priced. Try their special seasonals, you will not be disappointed. Also keep an eye out for their festivals , they're awesome!

Mary Conway

Had some great beers here. The bartender was very willing to "talk beer " with us, especially one of my travel companions who is a homebrewer . Great food, too.

The Ad Club

Their seasonal Heather Scottish Ale was the best beer I've ever had. Dark, smooth and strong (10%). Have a fire outside in winter and enjoy a great seasonal menu . Their Pumpkinfest is to die for.

Christine Canevari

CBC Burger is absolutely delicious. And that's coming from someone who doesn't ever order red meat at a restaurant , never mind a burger . Oh, and best pickle ever!

CBC is a lesson in heartbreak. Whenever you fall in love with a beer , it goes away. But happily, there's always a new one to take its place and fall in love again.

Michael O'Mara

Check out Mass Appeal. A local collaboration with Night Shift, Idle Hands, Enlightenment, and Mystic. Deliciously citrusy w/ fresh seat and juice from a dozen different citrus fruits .

Jacob Sloan

Flights are the way to go. Don't leave without trying the strange and unusual like their experimental sake/beer hybrid, Nomi Sugi.

Jake Smith

Try to name all the people in the mural , while enjoying delicious brews and food. I recommend the fish and chips .

John Olsen

25 years 25 beers - lots of great brews both traditional and experimental.

Enrico S

Pizza and veggie burgers are great. One of the best pizza in town . And yes, beer ... Lots of it!

Neilson Abeel

I liked this place a lot. Great food and friendly service . The porter was good but the amber ale was my favorite.

Mike Callahan

I love the beer selection , always something new and unique. Great outdoor seating during the summer.

Jeremy Krantz

Excellent beer and food here. Try their pizzas or wings . Or just about anything else for that matter...

J McGee

Unexpected big fan of this place. Beer is an experimental (i.e. pepper , sake …), but food is awesome! The BLT is perfecto!!!

Chris Cross

Great selection of beers (I had the tall tale ale ) calamari and late bfast steak were amazing!! Definitely worth a visit whether it is for the food or the beer .

Untappd

Mark your calendar for CBC Pumpkin Fest around Halloween . It's an amazing selection of over 40 different pumpkin beers . Spectacular event !

Trevor Kent

Best nachos with more topics then chips which is a rare treat and the Heather Ale is to die for!

sydney s

The machinery at night and grantchester meadows and so unique! Also they have veggie chili on nachos !

Nathan Lichtenstein

Excellent food. Go for the fried brussel sprouts . The standard flight was decent.

Constantin W

Great selection, but wanted to close very early on a Monday night!

Dave

Try the wort ice cream - malty toffee caramel goodness. Like Christmas cake !

Nadya Lyubyva

Great great beers ! However OK burgers , cold fries and do not even try banoffee pie , it's a lazy joke of one.

Cambridge 5K

CBC is a craft beer mecca! (and also the sponsor of our wunderbar Oktoberfest 5k!) http://cambridge5k.com/oktoberfest/

Sofia Uz

The beer is good, food is slightly above average, food items are really hit or miss

Evan Weiss

Get the Dubbel Entendre if you like dark beers ; the mollasses and dark caramelized sugar puts it over the top in the best way possible.

Lauren Bennett

Try the Jack Straw beer . Lots of citrusy goodness. Food here is great too and a manageable price.

Dean Browell

Great beer (sample for $2 a try- many choices) and great brunch menu in particular (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Un Tal Montfort

Great beers , awesome medals, dude at the bar has a bit of an attitude tho.

Rishi Desai

Superb collection of in house brews !! I love the 'triple threat'

Alwyn Velasquez

Try the BBQ Burger - Juicy and delicious-a perfect compliment to the crispy fries that came with it.

Caleb Hutchings

Their Pumpkin Festival is mandatory. The Heather Scotch Ale is one of my favorite beers . Food is just as great.

Andrew Rohm

If the weather's nice, the beer garden is beautiful.

Chris Brook

Two great cask options currently! Pale ale with Simcoe and pale ale with Centennial and Nelson Sauvin. Hops!

Nelson Joyce

If it's fall, get the pumpkin beer , one of the best I've ever had.

Brendan Raftery

A beer tower is really the only way to go if you have three or more people

Michael Heyda

Solid beers , good service . Worth a visit for beer lovers.

Jeff Kissel

Great food, great beer , great atmosphere. All you could ask for!

Beer selection is large and brewed on site.

Rotating in house beer , try them all $2 per 4 oz pour.

Some of the best sweet potato fries I've had!

Dan Wroclawski

Great beer selection and the wings were pretty good too!

Samantha Reardon

Awesome beer list as usual. Ask for the Enlightenment Beer guy. <3

Dan Sohayda

I came for beer pairings and infused food and only saw a single burger made with beer . Disappointed for that and the just ok beers .

Jake Batsell

The mushroom and egg pizza is fantastic. Wash it down with a Tell Tale Ale .

Antonio Figueiredo
