Wormtown Brewery located in Worcester, MA has slowly become one of my favorite places to get a beer. When I use the term slowly, I really mean rapidly. Technically not in Boston, but it is accessible by commuter rail to Boston so I am counting it. They have a nice outdoor patio, but a bar inside. I've been both when it's nice out and you get sit outside as well as during the winter when the taproom is the only part open.
1) Beer - The Be Hoppy might be my favorite domestic beer. This is really their signature and almost always available. They now also have the Be Hoppy x, which I tried for the first time recently and it was awesome. The Bottle Rocket Pale Ale is also a must try. Honestly, the more beers I try from this place the more I like it. The beer is becoming more and more popular in Boston so make sure to keep an eye out for it. If you're in Worcester, you're almost certain to find it.
Grade: A
2) Atmosphere - They have a lot of space and most of it is dedicated to Brewing. The taproom is on the smaller side and then they have another smaller patio outside. You do feel like you're in a brewery, but it does not have the smell since there is a large window separating the taproom and brewery. On a nice spring day, the patio is alive after work. Not to be understated is how helpful and friendly the staff is. Like I said, just a little on the smaller side
Grade: B+
3) Food -
Grade - N/A
4) Price: Normal price. You can get a sampler or just a regular pint. First time, I recommend the sampler.
Grade: B+
5) Accessibility - Depends. If you find yourself on the train to Worcester, it's like a 5 minute walk from the main station. Since technically this is a Boston brewery/bar blog, then it is awhile away. Parking can be a nightmare, especially on nice days.
Grade: C
6) "That was a good time, we definitely have to come back"
Been there at least 3 times. Will probably find myself there again. Beer is the best part so make sure you at least try it when you see the smiling bottle/tap even if you cant make it to Worcester.
