Drawdown Brewing

Drawdown Brewing gives malt a generous amount of space on the tap list. The Washington Street brewery’s regular styles include a cream ale, a German-style altbier and a porter, alongside a rotating New England IPA series. That makes it worth a look if your ideal flight includes something brown or roasty as well as something hoppy.

There are nonalcoholic choices, including root beer on tap, alcohol-free beer and cold brew, plus packaged snacks. The Jamaica Plain taproom also posts sports viewing and other events, sometimes with hours beyond its regular schedule. Check the calendar if you’re coming for a particular match. For a simple brewery visit, start with the current beer list and build a flight around the styles you’re curious about.
