Roslindale knows how to build a great afternoon around a good pour, and the neighborhood’s brewery scene has become one of the best reasons to get out and explore. Pair your stops with a visit to City Farm, the dispensary locals already turn to for a thoughtful selection and a team that’s genuinely happy to walk you through it. Grab a pint, browse the shelves, and let the day take its own shape.
Local Breweries Worth the Stop
Roslindale’s beer scene has spread well past the neighborhood’s own borders over the last few years, so a proper outing can easily stretch into Hyde Park or Jamaica Plain without adding much drive time. Here are four spots worth building an afternoon around.
1. Distraction Brewing Company
Roslindale’s own craft brewery sits right in the Village, pouring a seasonally rotating tap list from an outdoor patio that fills up fast on warm-weather afternoons.
Address: 2 Belgrade Ave, Roslindale, MA 02131
2. Roundhead Brewing Company
A few minutes away in Hyde Park, this Latino-owned brewery pours Latin American-influenced beers out of a converted historic power plant, with skee-ball and ping pong on hand for anyone turning the stop into a whole afternoon.
Address: 1 Westinghouse Plaza Bldg 10, Hyde Park, MA 02136
3. Drawdown Brewing Company
Just over the Roslindale line in Egleston Square, this LGBTQ+ and woman-owned brewery keeps a cozy taproom centered on malt-forward classics. The brewery prioritizes women’s sports, soccer, LGBTQ+ programming, and college sports over other broadcasts.
Address: 3204 Washington St, Boston, MA 02130
4. Samuel Adams Boston Brewery
For something more iconic, the original Sam Adams brewery in Jamaica Plain runs a full taproom and beer garden with rotating R&D releases, open daily to anyone curious about what’s brewing next.
Address: 30 Germania St, Boston, MA 02130
Make City Farm Part of Your Outing
Before or after your brewery stop, swing by City Farm by Silver Therapeutics at 721 American Legion Hwy. Browse our online menu ahead of time to see what’s in stock, then stop in to shop or ask our team a few questions in person.
We’re open Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 8 PM and Sunday from 11 AM to 6 PM, so swing by whenever the day calls for it.
