Trillium Brewing Co

Back in 2013 when I first visited the Trillium downtown location it was a major flop. I’m happy to report that this facility out in Canton was a complete 360 from my other experience.
The location had plenty of parking, the space was huge and could accommodate the crowds that I am sure bottle releases attract. The tasting and growler system felt very organized, meaning, patrons do not have to suffer the line for growlers if they are not ordering any. Believe it or not this is still a major issue at many breweries.
Trillium beer speaks for itself, save yourself the trouble and visit this location rather than the other in Boston.

Stopped here on the way through the area. I was excited to discover Trillium was not overcrowded by any means. I wish I could’ve hung out in the taproom, but no time. First time experiencing their beers. Had to wait until I checked into to our hotel. What a great beer. I look forward to trying the others I purchased!

One of the best breweries in New England. So lucky to have it in the great state of MA. Beer is crave worthy for sure with an amazing dry hop series that may be the best in the world. This place gets better and better and will keep pushing the limits of amazing craft beer for sure.

I’m a mega fan of their beer as you can see by my review of their Fort Point location. I came to this location for the first time recently for their 3 year anniversary party. The overall experience was awesome. Entry to the event got us 3 full pours, a bottle of Dialed in, three Trillium glasses, and a tote bag (times 2 if you dragged your significant other along :-))
This location is definitely a stark contrast to the one in Boston. While it is a bit off the beaten path, there’s a ton of space inside, multiple restrooms, and two separate bars from where they server beers from. Disclaimer: I’m not sure if they serve from two bars on a regular basis or if this was only for the special event.
I live just north of Boston, so continuing to go to Fort Point makes the most sense to me. However I definitely recommend Canton for the casual fans or those new to Trillium who’d like to hang out and try some of their great beers onsite before purchasing. If they have DDH Congress Street available, do yourself a favor and get it.

Being a big beer geek I’m disappointed in myself that I had never been here. Trillium makes some really awesome brews. They have not been around a very long time so it’s tough to find the beer sometimes. Going to the source in Boston isn’t an option for me. I hate traffic. I hate lines. I hate paying forty bucks to park. To my delight they opened a location in canton. Way easier to get to. Plenty of free parking. This location only opened a few months ago and they are still under construction but they are set up for bottle purchases, growler fills, and tastings. Which really when it comes down to it is what we really want. It would be neat to have a spot to hang out and drink but I’m thinking that will come along as they continue to build. They had four (free!) beers to sample and the staff is very nice. They are knowledgeable and can answer any questions you may have. After trying a few we moseyed over to the purchase line. There wasn’t really a line. They were doing a great job getting people out quick. I bought two beers. I would have gotten more but I have an excess of beer I need to drink before I open these. Plus they have just started being carried at Yankee spirits in Attleboro. So I don’t have to drive to the brewery if I’m strapped for time. If your a beer geek this place is a must try. One caveat they don’t have samples of all their beers. Your best bet is to ask the staff. Tell them what you like and they can recommend one for you. No worries if you can’t try before you buy … The brews are all good. You won’t be disappointed.

The staff there just really didn’t seem to give a crap. Most of their beers are just average, but the double IPAs are outstanding. EXTREMELY overpriced though. I’d pick up their beer on a much more regular basis if it wasn’t so cost prohibitive. $ 12 for a 24oz bottle? A few years ago it used to be $ 8 for a 32oz. That’s a 100% increase on a per ounce basis, just pretentious.

If you’re thinking of driving out here from Boston, don’t. It’s not worth the 30 minute trip unless you already know you love their beers. When you arrive you enter an industrial space devoid of character (that is if you can find the place – signage is bad). You mosey up to the crowded counter and they hand you…2 ounces of beer. You get to do that three more times for a total of 8 ounces of beer. There’s nowhere to sit while you do this, which is all well and good because it takes about 15 minutes to complete the process. I can’t even tell you if the beer was good because you can’t get a good taste out of 2 ounces. Then you maybe purchase bottles or a growler and you leave.

We love trillium and this location is just bigger, nicer people working there and easy parking. If you are looking for recs, Fort Point, Congress Street and Pot and Kettle are very good. We usually get a few growlers of anything they have without sampling. They are almost always very good. This week I like the Citris Saison and Free rise and they were both good – those may be the same thing, hard to keep names straight.
Growler line was non-​existant around 12:30 on a Saturday which was even better. Bottle line was longer but neither was bad. Sample area looked busy. Really happy to not have to go to the Boston location ever again.

From the cool little wooden «bar» where you can sample beers to the background of beer being made, this place rocks.
I have yet to have one beer that I disliked from Trillium. From there Launch to Pot & Kettle, everying is finely made.
I dont know how they make there beer so tasty but I keep coming back.
Cheers

Nice place and love that there are samples. No employee out front to direct people as website states, but I was able to figure things out quickly. For newbies like me, to the right is the sample area and just walk up and there should be list that you can choose from. The purchase area is to the left and the right line is for growlers and/​or bottles and the left is bottles only. They had signs for the lines, but close to cash registers so it was hard to see. Only four samples available on day I visited although they had 10+ varieties available. Would be better if they had everything available to sample, even if they limited you to 4 or 6 choices.
Sample server was nice but didn’t provide any info on the samples unless you asked. Luckily there was a paper on the bar that explained the available varieties and the server answered questions cheerfully.
Beer was excellent and only tasted one thing that wasn’t something I would purchase.

Trillium is one of the best breweries in the country. Trillium, Treehouse, Lawson, and the Alchemist are in a class of their own. The new location in canton is great. Lines are usually short and the variety is top notch. No body is coming close to the variety they are offering every day. DDH Fort Point is one of my favorite beers. I’m excited to see the future of Trillium. I would love to see small bottles or cans. The bottles are nice if you really want to «get after it» but they can be daunting if you just want one best. I really hope the next evolution is a pint bottle like Pliny the Elder. I also hope to see more trillium and restaurants and maybe even a brew pub some day!

We were lucky enough to stumble across this place a few weeks ago right when it opened. It’s a really neat hidden gem with a friendly staff and variety of delicious brews. We were able to sample around 4 beers I believe, and I enjoyed all of them. The line for growlers was so long though that I didn’t buy one but hope to next time! Glad that such a cool place opened close to me.

So happy this opened closer to my home rather than having to go into Boston!
The beers are fantastic and none of them ever disappoint. It is wonderful to get such fresh beer and know that any choice you make will likely be a good one.
There were lots of options available both in bottles and growlers. While there was a small line, it moved quickly and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable.
I look forward to many return trips here.

Attentive staff. The guy pouring samples really new his beer Trillium’s and beer in general. All the samples that were available the day I went I tried and wasn’t dissapointed by any of them. I bought 4 growlers to take home, and again not one dissapointed me. There can be a wait for fills but they work hard to get through the line as fast as possible. The beer is worth the wait. Bring a friend as a spot holder and take turns between the fill line and the sample bar… win win.
