Located pretty close to the North Station stop on the Green Line. The inside is rather modern, with lots of finished wood and metal.

Behind the bar are signs that show the beer selection. Each sign is colored to match the color of the beer which I think is a great idea, especially for those unfamiliar with beer in general.

My dad and I showed up to this place planning on waiting for my sister to go get a late lunch, but she texted me to tell us that they were eating, so we ended up with a salad. The salads were pretty good, and there seemed to be a good amount of options on the food menu.

The beer was really good, and there was a good ranged of beers available, from very light to very dark, sessionable to strong. The beers seemed to be reasonably priced as well.

Had already been to Fenway Park location when I visited this one on Canal Street in June. Area has several historical buildings that have been renovated into restaurants on first floor and commercial office space on upper floors. This restaurant utilizes upstairs space, as well, though. Interior is very spacious and lots of booths and tables throughout the first floor area. Bar area is somewhat unremarkable, though.

Tried three beers on the night. The first was a fruit seasonal, the Cherry Bomb, which was tasty but probably still a little too heavy on the palate afterwards (3). The second seasonal was also a fruited wheat: the Watermelon Ale. This one was very light and a perfect complement to a summer meal -- and not overwhelmingly sweet either (4). The final beer I had was one of their award-winners: the Backyard IPA. Great quality to this brew, wonderful finish, and comparatively one of the better IPAs I've had (4). Beer Works always has at least a dozen brews on tap between their regulars and seasonals, which presents a fun challenge to patrons as what to drink on a given night!

The meal here was also quite good. As I'd had previously at their other location, I couldn't resist the Lobster Salad Salad and their home-made fries. The service was attentive and friendly.

Good service and good choice of beers.

The wait staff was very patient with me, recommending good food and beer choices. The food was pretty typical of a brewpub, but they tried to make some selections a little bit unique.

I'm just not into blueberry ale. My only concern is that the waitress said that was the most popular beer selection. I guess I can't fault the brewers for having customers with taste that doesn't agree with mine.
