A Brewery Tour of the Fitchburg Line
150 Great Wolf Dr, Fitchburg, MA 01420
Located in the Howlin Timbers Play Park of the Great Wolf Lodge, Wachusett Brew Barn offers a diverse and award-winning portfolio of ales and lagers. Being more than a mile walking from the Wachusett train station along a busy road, we recommend taking a rideshare–it’s a great place to hang out, watch the game, and have a few drinks.
265 Summer St, Fitchburg, MA 01420
Serving pilsners, NEIPAs, stouts, pale ales, and more, Thirsty Robot Brewing Company places a lot of emphasis on aroma-packed and flavor-forward beer. Take a rideshare from the station to the brewery and go around the back of the building to find your way to the taproom. They brew a variety of one-off batches that allow them to experiment with flavor that you’ll be eager to try.
411 Waverley Oaks Rd., Waltham, MA 02452
With incredible beers on draft, as well as four-packs to-go, Mighty Squirrel Brewing Co. has an incredible variety of drinks to choose from at their taproom. Though it’s less than a mile from the Waverly station, you might want to consider taking a rideshare anyway. When you get there, enjoy some IPAs, sours, and hard seltzers, and also consider grabbing a bite to eat from their food menu.
14 Tyler St, Somerville, MA 02143
Aeronaut Brewing Company has a great balance of year-round favorites and limited releases for you to try at the taproom. Sours, IPAs, and lagers are all available for thirsty patrons eager to taste the best the brewery has to offer. Grab a rideshare from the station to get to the brewery quickly, then sit back with your friends and enjoy a cold drink.
