They have all different types including stouts, sours and IPAs. Not all the staff was friendly. They don't have a kitchen but did have a food truck and are also dog friendly. I recommend swinging by if you are in the area!

The taproom is nice and spacious, everything new, with big open windows to let the breeze in on nice days. Outsidearea looks nice as well. If you are with a child, however, I believe you cannot sit in the outside area (and I'm not sure whylicensing restrictions would dictate that), but inside yes. The food vendors rotate, but I do recall getting excellent,properly-made pizza there. I have also purchased their beers in local beer shops.

The staff were friendly and great to chat with. When the Bone and Bread food truck was on site, I tried the Brewery Burger from their menu, and it was absolutely outstanding!

The food truck adds a nice touch, and the dog-friendly atmosphere made hanging out even more enjoyable. The beer was excellent and fairly priced. I bought some glasses, and they went above and beyond to pack them carefully for shipping back to Japan. Overall, a wonderful experience! I highly recommend checking this place out!

It was founded by business partners Ryan Lavery, Colin Foley and Bud Lazaro. Lavery and Foley met while playing in a men 's hockey league. Lavery worked in pharmaceutical sales while Foley worked in finance. They soon learned that they shared a passion for homebrewing. They practiced their hobby in Lavery 's basement and brewed everything from pale ales to stouts and porters. The partners soon became burned out in their office jobs and decided to quit and open a brewery. They decided to call their new venture Widowmaker as a reference to their former jobs: work that takes someone away from the people that they love. Lazaro came on board as an additional partner. After opening, the brewery 's popularity grew very quickly; they went from a 7 barrel brewhouse to a 15 barrel brewhouse. In 2021, they opened a summer beer garden at Kilroy Square Farmers Market in Quincy Center. Lazaro later left the company and sold his interests to new partner Kenny Semcken. The current head brewer is Brady Heefner. Plans are currently underway to open a 5,000 square foot brewpub location in Brighton. My son and I recently visited Widowmaker Brewing after a day of cycling in Boston. I looked to see if there were any good breweries in the area and Widowmaker came highly recommended. I was very impressed to learn that they 've had several collaborations with notable breweries such as Equilibrium Brewery, Long Live Beerworks and Other Half Brewing. The atmosphere at the brewery was so chill and everyone was so friendly (staff and customers alike). Although Widowmaker doesn 't offer traditional taster flights, they do offer short pours. I ended up sampling Blue Comet (New England IPA), The Devil 's Staircase (New England IPA), Candy Maker (Peanut Butter Milk Stout), and Interstellar Skylight (Double New England IPA Collaboration with Obercreek Brewing). Every single beer that I sampled was fantastic! In fact, I think that they are one of the best breweries I 've visited in all of New England! Way to go guys! I look forward to your new Brighton location opening!

They had the AC cranking and this was our refuge on a hot summer day. Tried a couple New England IPAs and we liked the Weirdomaker very much. Will be sure to come back on our next trip up.

The staff is always friendly, and the beers are fantastic. Unfortunately, I moved shortly after discovering it, but I make sure to stop by anytime I'm in Braintree! It's definitely a must-visit—dogs are welcome, and there's always new food from local food trucks!
