Boston has its share of craft breweries and when I found out that DBC has the Museum of Bad Art on its premises we had to go.
They have a good selection of different styles of beer and I ordered a flight. Husband was glad to see they had sour beer available as well. They also have a BBQ joint on site and we found the sandwiches were good(appreciated the vegan options too).

My cousin and I stopped by Dorchester while we were exploring breweries in Boston, and overall, this brewery had both our favorite and our least favorite beers of the weekend. Quite a feat!
The location isn’t really in a walkable area to other places, so we took a cab here from downtown. The drive is worth it and this is a very large location with activities downstairs. Upstairs had a more lively bar because it seemed like there was a private party downstairs. I don’t know if this is normal, but they had huge screens projecting football games that people gather to watch.
They had a fair number of beers on top, around 16. They had some really excellent beers, and so there’s something for everyone’s taste. We got all 16 because we wanted to taste test all of them, and the servers obliged. Not sure if they served alcohol drinks other than beers because we didn’t go to the bar downstairs.
Overall, a good space to have a large group, and they seem to have a lot of events as well.

Stopped in today around lunch time. I love this place! I had been here before for a really fun trade event and stopped by today to buy some of their "Neponset Gold" beer and a t shirt. Very cool industrial chic vibe and plenty of outstanding cold beer. I got to check out their newer, enormous glassed in roof deck. Seems everyone is in a rush to go to the seaport, but take it from a native Bostonian....If you love beer and a cool surrounding, check this place out. Really fun. I look forward to stopping in on a weekend soon.

Avoid this place - the music is painful, coupled with cold fries and disrespectful service.
After politely asking if we could turn down/switch the loud death metal music on a Sunday afternoon, the bartender called me entitled and proceeded to insult me.
I hope they open up something new soon. Dorchester deserves a better spot that doesn’t deride their customers.

This was our second visit to Dorchester brewing though first during Covid. I like how there’s a parking lot though we saw a sign after the fact asking people to park on the street. Upon entering we were asked for our ids and where we’d like to sit. We chose to be upstairs in the greenhouse roof deck area. It must be beautiful in the summer. I thought it was quite warm today. You order your food and beers through the QR code. They told us to do food first but they are separate processes. We got a pretzel and later fries. For beers I had their golden which I really liked and their Pilsner which was ok. Dh had a flight and then one of the ipas. Service was good. Lots of social distancing. Lots of plexiglass barriers. Bathroom was clean. They did come to our table to let us know we were close to the 90 minute time limit. That was the only downside.

The craft cider was very good. My jackfruit sammie was tasty but overly salty. The real disappointment was the hubs' brisket and collards. Both were inedible (too salty and too sweet) and he suspected the meat was not actually brisket. Worse, the BBQ window refused a refund on his returned food even though he'd only take a bite of each. We will not be returning, and it's too bad the BBQ partnership reflect poorly on the brewery.

Showed up at 4PM on a Sunday for BBQ and MOBA. Was told the kitchen "closed early for a staff party." No notice on the website which said open until 7pm. Beware of unannounced closures before you drive to Dorchester.

This place is a must do for several reasons. First, the beer selection is off the chart. You can find almost anything you are looking for. Second is the food. The sandwich’s are even better than as they are described on the menu. Don’t miss out on the sides. The greens are home made with lots of love and the Mac & cheese will not disappoint. Last but not least you can stroll around the brewery and enjoy the Museum of Bad Art. The works are just what the museum is named. They also have a little explanation about each work, which may or may not help explain what you are seeing. All in all you will not be sorry you stoped by the Dorchester Brewery.

2nd time stopping at Dorchester Brewery. We were advised to park on the street so we would not get towed out of the parking lot next door. Anyway, the brewery offers delicious cold brews! I found the BBQ to be some of the best North of the Southern border. Amazingly good BBQ, baked beans, mac & cheese & the best corn bread! A comfortable atmosphere with roof top seating or inside & outside as well. Nice view of the city.

How’s parking near the brewery?
Written January 31, 2020
There is street parking on Mass. Ave. We parked about a block away. I think there is also parking on Columbia Road, but that intersection is very complicated.
