Taproom Policies and FAQs:
IDs: We check IDs for everyone. You must show a valid 21+ ID to be sold beer. Valid forms of ID include: US Driver’s License, Liquor ID Card or State Issued ID Card, Military ID, US Passport or Passport Card and International Passport and Foreign driver’s license with a photo of a corresponding passport. We invite those under 21, such as families, kids and babies to visit our taproom with parents or guardians and enjoy games, our non-alcoholic beverages (soda and seltzer) and food any day of the week.

Brewery Tours: Tours are currently not running due to COVID.

Food: M&M BBQ is on-site daily. We do not allow outside food to be brought in.

Fresh Beer to Go: We sell Crowlers (32 ounce cans) to go as well as 4-Packs of select DBco beers. Unfortunately, by law we cannot fill growlers.  Additionally, due to tax law, you can not consume Crowlers on premise. No external alcoholic beverages may be brought in and consumed on site.

Private Events: We are excited to host your next private event whether it be a small group meeting, fundraiser, birthday party or wedding! To learn more about hosting your private event with us, please send us a note through our contact us page.

Getting here: We are located at 1250 Mass Ave. in Dorchester. There is typically plenty of on-street parking (no meters). If you are planning to take public transportation, we are located on the red line between Andrew and JFK/UMass stops and also close to several bus stops. Please visit  //www.mbta.com/ to find your best route. We have plenty of FREE on-street parking, so there is typically plenty of room for everyone nearby!

Pets: Per updated guidelines from the city of Boston on March 26, 2021, we can only allow service dogs for persons with disabilities (physical or sensory) on the deck and our management staff now needs to ask all customers with dogs this question “is this a service animal” and we will need to trust the patron’s word.  No paperwork or documentation is needed.  The City also noted that Emotional support dogs are not permitted on the patio. Generally, these animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless such devices interfere with the animal’s work or the customer’s disability.

Dorchester

Dorchester: Never been to the DOT? Not OFD? (That’s lingo for Originally From Dorchester). Technically Dorchester is part of Boston proper and located super-close to downtown, so you have no excuses. This could be be the very reason you explore the city a little bit more and we’re certain you’ll be glad you did.
