The beer is very good. Not my favorite local, but you might think so. Besides, it's about the tap room, too. Great spot with regular hot trucks and dog friendly. Outside seating when it's nice. There's a stage inside for live music, too. Recently saw a show and it felt like a legit night club.

So after quite a bit of time, had the opportunity to swing by Widowmaker Brewing. I have had their beers at a variety of places but the timing never worked out to be able to actually visit. UNTIL TODAY! Great selection of beers for the enthusiast. Lots of IPA's , Double IPA's and a selection of Pilsner and Ales. I always choose the IPA's and had the Blue Comet and the Quarry IPA. Both were delicious and very nice. The place is very Pet-Friendly, with a dispenser for dog treats at the end of the bar. The place was loaded with tv's, so we sat back and enjoyed Week 0 of college football. The place has lots of seating and also has an outside area. Today was THICCY's Taco day. Had the chips and rojas sauce and they hit the spot. Great place to swing by and enjoy some great beers and food.

This is long overdue. We were in town for a wedding on Memorial Day weekend and scheduled an impromptu group party here that Thursday. Working with Kenny to get it scheduled was super easy and they were very professional. When we got there that night it was Matt behind the bar and Brian at the bar to help with choices. Could not have asked for better. This place has an incredibly relaxed vibe and, most importantly, fantastic beers. I will make sure to visit these folks again.

Good beer selection. No food is served here. Lots of dogs everywhere and live music some nights. Clean environment too!

Widowmaker Brewing is a craft brewery that opened in Braintree, Massachusetts in September 2017. 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!

My cousin and I visited Widowmaker for drinks while we were touring good breweries in the Boston area. This place definitely did not disappoint! Though we were staying in Boston, we drove out to Braintree because of the recommendations from others. The night we visited, they had eight beers on tap, not a huge amount. They don't do flights, only half pours. But I will say that their half pours are about "75% pours." Can't be mad at that! The beers focused more on DIPAs and higher alcohol beers, if that is your style. There's plenty of parking around and there is a lot of space inside for groups. There were even birthday parties happening while we were there. A very convivial space and service was fast and friendly. Great beers.

Dog and kid friendly brewery! They even have a family restroom which was eqipped with a changing table and diaper pail. 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.

Good place nice vibe, not Cambridge crowded. Dog friendly. Convenient for the hotel folks on Wood Road.

As soon as I saw the name of this brewery I knew I needed to try it! Lol! Steve and I got one of the beers from Widowmaker and we liked it fairly well. The Blue Comet was the name of the beer we had. It was a Hazy New England IPA which was very enjoyable. One of the better New England IPA's that I have had lately but that kind of holds up to my idea and experience that some of the best New England IPA's come from the East Coast and New England states. There are other promising beer selections as well and if the opportunity rises again I'd like to try a darker beer from Widowmaker like a porter or a stout.

First time coming here (1/23/21). Made a reservation online, though I don't think you have to. Clean, open space. Friendly staff who are happy to describe the beers, offer recommendations, and provide some samples upon request. Good mask and social distancing policies/practices. Beers themselves were really good. Had full pours of Blue Comet (IPA), Twin Comet (DIPA), Ecstasy of Gold (IPA), and Kameosa (rice lager). The IPAs were all different enough which is always appreciated when some breweries serve multiple NEIPAs that are similar to each other. All very smooth. Kameosa was unlike other rice lagers I've had but we thought it was great. Little more spice and floral notes. We were told they offer flights during non-COVID times. For now, full pours only, served in disposable cups. The only negative part of the experience was not Widowmaker-specific, but something they should consider. I understand the law in Massachusetts is that places that serve alcohol require you to purchase food too, but you need better/more/cheaper options. Food For Thought was the on-site food truck and all they had was overpriced nachos... Tiny portion of store-bought chips and fake cheese. We got the ones with sausage and roasted peppers which cost $16 (plus tax and tip, of course). Even if it weren't for the unreasonable price, what if you have a dairy allergy? Are you supposed to just pay for a handful of generic tortilla chips? I'm not going to knock Widowmaker for this in this review but they should know this is an issue. I want to spend my money on good beer, not low-quality snack food.
