Turtle Swamp Brewing
Turtle Swamp Brewing, which was built in a former JP mechanic's garage, is one of the best breweries in Boston worth visiting. Turtle Swamp is situated in one of Boston’s hippest, yet casual neighborhoods, Jamaica Plain. The brewery opened in 2015 yet maintains an under-the-radar feel.
Situated in an area of the city that’s historically been home to many breweries, it’s now one of only a few in the southwestern part of Boston. With many brews named for local landmarks and sites, it’s nearly impossible to pick a bad choice. Those who enjoy hops can’t go wrong with the classic South Street, a New England IPA. A small menu of grilled cheese, paninis, and hotdogs will satisfy meat eaters and vegetarians alike.
The giant garage doors are still there, so you’ll have great natural light while you overlook a nice patio. There’s no food, but there are often food trucks, and the brewery regularly hosts fun things, like adult prom night. Don’t forget to check out the hidden room upstairs that has some board games and more comfortable bench seating.
