Notch Brewery Tap Room Brighton

They had all Czech/German style beers with low ABV’s available in 1/2 or full liters, just a heads up if that’s not the style you look for. The beer was decent. The style of the place was cool with all the wood but also kind of plain. Might be better when the outdoor seating is available but it felt cramped inside. When my GF and I walked up to the bar the first bar staff glanced us over and walked away, the bar area was almost empty at that time and had to get the attention of another staff at the other end. We never really got that welcoming and social vibe you get at most other breweries.

I can't say enough good things about this brewery. The staff was incredibly hospitable and knowledgable. Some of the best lagers I have ever tasted, which is not to be taken lightly given their difficulty to perfect. Next time I make my way up from NJ this is at the top of my list, cheers!

Notch has great European style beers; One of my favorite breweries in the area. They take beer seriously, they do it well.

Absolutely awesome (though pricey) taproom/bierhall. Some of the best lagers in the country and good vibes plus board games, a tasty although limited food menu, and live music some nights. Not ideal to drive here but it’s a far walk from the closest T station and there’s actually ample parking if you get there early enough. Would be a regular if I lived nearby. Took a 4-pack of their Zwickel home and couldn’t be more impressed with this place. Just need to make it up to Salem now!

Wee bit off the beaten track if you are walking, but absolutely worth it.Big focus on Czech and German beer styles that demonstrate that there's more to Lager than you think.Staff were friendly and gave a bit of history of what the space used to be.
