"It’s a statement that would start a lot of fights, but in our opinion, Trillium makes the best beer in Boston. Their juicy New England IPAs are on a whole different plane than just about anything we’ve ever had. And if that weren’t enough, the brewery in Fort Point has a great rooftop (though it’s almost always full) and an excellent full-service restaurant that’s worth going to even if you’re not drinking. But it doesn’t take the top spot on this list for the simple reason that, for as good as the beer and food is, this is a brewery that doesn’t feel like a brewery. There’s no live music, there are no events, and it attracts more of an after-work and beer-tourist crowd than neighborhood people." - dan secatore
