Love this brewery. They have a lot of different types of beers, which is great when you're with people who don't like certain types of beer. They almost always have a local food truck, which I love. And if they don't, they have these little pizzas which are delicious. Servers are always helpful and knowledgeable too! It's definitely my favorite brewery on the South Shore!

I hosted a 50th birthday at Barrel House Z and it was fantastic! Excellent communication, perfect location for a party with underage guests and even dogs! Our guests were all very pleased and comfortable. The bartenders were the most pleasant, hospitable, friendly, hardworking gentlemen who somehow managed to keep the flow going with us, plus a separate event going on and plenty of other very happy patrons! We had food catered and delivered by Tennessee BBQ in Braintree and cake delivered by Sugah Sweet Bakery in Rockland. The staff received everything for us before we got there with care and professionalism. I was treated so kindly that I was able to enjoy the gathering, which says a lot when you're planning something like this. Everything was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere and experience!

Found this local brewery which is dog friendly. The brewery was small with a good selection of beers on tap. Had a coffee blonde ale which was delicious and smelled amazing if you like coffee. I would highly recommend trying this beer. I also ordered a flight which is 3 small glasses. Their mojito sour was refreshing. They don't serve food but there was a food truck outside where I ordered nachos and truffle fries. The nachos were pretty good. The meat was tender and full of bbq flavor. The fries were alright, as there wasn't any truffle oil on the fries. It was just fries with some truffle sauce to dip in. There was a back area that had a lot of Cornhole boards and some arcade games as well. I would definitely recommend checking this place out for a fun night.

Come here for hand pies. The hand pies is one of the best things I ever eaten. They are flaky meat pies. The meat is perfectly tender, not dry or over cooked. The crust is nice and flakey. The beer is also good if you drink. I recommend the Belgian style. The staff is super friendly and the space is nice. It can be a bit drafty in certain places so bring a jacket.

Maybe it was the perfect weather or the sunny blue skies... but suffice it to say, this place has one of my favorite outdoor atmospheres of all the beer gardens I've been to in the greater Boston area. I will be honest, I was a little skeptical at first when we were told that the tables were only for groups of 6 or more people, and so we had to settle for a couple of chairs... BUT the chairs were actually surprisingly comfy and had huge wide arms that worked for setting down both beers and food. It's not quite enough arm space to set down a whole feast's worth of food, but they're more about the light bites here anyways, so it ended up working out just fine. The very reclined style of the chairs made for a vibe that was best for just sitting, chilling, and relaxing. It may have been a little bit more challenging if we were with a group primarily looking to have peppy, get-to-know-you type conversations. But for my husband and I, we were looking just for a place to sit back, drink, snack, chat a little, and pretend that we have our own backyard reclining chairs... and so this place fit the bill perfectly. The pastry-wrapped sausages were DELICIOUS (loved the combination of black & white sesame seeds on the outside, and the wrapping was super flaky/buttery) and the spicy chex mix was the perfect thing to snack on while waiting for our other food. My husband's pretzels were great as well, and he especially liked the beer cheese (it was more of a thick cheese dip as opposed to a runny sauce, which actually was a very welcome change of pace from what you find at a lot of breweries). Their menu here isn't huge, but as long as you know what to expect going in, you'll be fine. One suggestion - it would be awesome if they could post their daily menu online or via Facebook. We checked and couldn't find it, so ended up giving them a call to see what food they had available (the person I spoke with on the phone was very friendly & helpful though). Oh, and of course... the beer! They had a very diverse selection - the ones I tried were pretty mild (e.g. the sour I had wasn't super sour), but I still really enjoyed both of the ones I had. I was particularly obsessed with the artwork hanging on the outside of the building, celebrating a bunch of their past releases - I am a sucker for A+ can design, and it really contributed to the overall fun, cheery vibe of this place! This place is a lovely spot for relaxing, and we felt very comfortable with all of the COVID precautions and social distancing that they had in place.

I've visited this brewery in every season and it never disappoints. The staff is knowledgable and friendly so don't hesitate to ask questions and try something new. They used to have food trucks but have since opened their own kitchen. The food is really good and portions are just right. The Adeline and Tiramisu stouts are my favorites but have a wide variety. My favorite thing about BHZ is they aren't afraid to make new creations which makes them stand out. This is a great place to visit when out with friends to play games and unwind. On good weather days it can get crowded so get there early if possible. Even on busy days the wait has never been long to get served.

Let's cut right to it. This is a great brewery. It's nice to see Weymouth stepping up as a brew town! We hit Vitamin Sea which is next door first as that's only open Saturday but BZ is surely worth coming to and hanging out in a dedicated fashion and we certainly will on another night. It's a comfortable tap room. Not real large but enough room to breathe with a nice long bar and attentive servers. Being new I asked for a couple of tastes and they were cheerfully provided.The warehouse side where the tanks are is enormous and indicates that increasing capacity to rival some of the big boys ie Trillium, Castle Island is possible and I think inevitable. I'm not saying the beers are as good as Trillium and Tree House (yet) as another reviewer suggests. That's a tall order as Trillium and Tree House are prolifically producing some of the finest craft beers in the whole country. I opted for Bam - Bam and Gemini both DIPA's checking in at 8.8% ABV and both winners. I forgot to take notes and am now a bit confused as to what differentiated them but oh well..We then both got the RR #23 the 2 yr old Bully Boy whiskey which is a 13% American strong Ale. WOW Almost tasted like a shot of whisky in a beer but it worked! I thought I was all done after that but Article 15 is a few minutes away and hey it's Saturday night and that's all right. LOL had a slight hangover in the morning, worth it.

Out of the beers I've had in my life there were three that I considered favorites. Now there are four... because I know you'll ask, these are: 1. Augustiner Dunkel (this is a Bavarian beer that you cannot get anywhere in Massachusetts) 2. Brooklyn Black Ops 3. Ravenwood (made by Big Alice Brewing) 4. Swear Jar (from BHZ) Number 4 was added after my visit here. What I don't like about many beers out there is that they taste like bitter carbonated water. I like my beer to taste like something other than bitter, which is the reason why I like those above, they actually taste like something. The swear jar didn't have very much, if any, of that decently unpleasant bitterness. To paraphrase and use some poetic license on the way BHZ describes it, it is a glass of Adult vanilla chocolate milk, only without the dairy. The beer had a very mild sweetness to it, and there was a hint of a deeper, flavor to it as well, like the one found in whiskey! You see, that's what makes this place so unique (and good). They age their beer for some time in barrels which used to hold spirits of various kinds. I also had the opportunity to try the Darragh. Though it didn't make my list of favorites, I still think objectively (can something be objective when it comes to taste) it was solid, at least. For a beer that has over 10lbs of honey added to it, I expected it to be sweeter. This one was a little more on the hoppy side. If you're into bunny-approved brews, then I think you'll enjoy this one. For food I was able to try both the empanadas and pretzel both of which were very fresh. The pretzel was good, but otherwise unremarkable. The empanadas though were surprisingly great. Though these were not traditional, as they were stuffed to the brim with cheese! I also loved the fact that I had a selection of sauced to go with them. I will say that it took a little while to get the food out, but since this place is a brewery, I am not complaining. The staff here was really nice, and they are always putting on events of various classes were locals and fans alike gather. Look forward to returning, and grabbing a growler of the Swear Jar (a Sear Growler?) to share with some friends.
