Mayflower Brewing Company

Great brewery, I like how they’re open all week, most breweries are weekend deals. Delicious beer and very friendly and informative employees.

Cute cute cute. Fun tours. The only bummer is that they really want to support local restaurants who sell them, however, those restaurants are insanely crowded and I’d rather eat around here. Literally, April and you can’t get parking on Saturday night downtown does not bode well for summer. The brew tour was cool and the beers were so good.

Although I find Mayflower a delicious beer, I’m reviewing my experience at the tasting room near Plymouth. Located in a very industrial area, the tasting room at the brewery felt like a store front with not very many places to sit. Even though there was only 1 other person at the bar, I had to flag down one of the three barmaids in front of me to order a flight. I actually felt bad I was bothering them as they didn’t seem to be getting along. I drank the beer quick, bought a couple things and got outta there as fast as I could. I’m glad I found out this place isn’t the type of tasting room to bring your beer buddy you want to impress. I recommend just buying Mayflower from the store and enjoy it at home.

Great beer, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and cozy brewery showroom. By far one of my favorite breweries!

Good beer, great people. They remember us and greet everyone like family. They host great events and the porter is one of our favorite beers.

This may seriously be the best taproom I’ve ever been to! Spacious, well-​lit and clean. The staff were friendly and approachable without any of the airiness that one sometimes finds at a brewery. Still they are knowledgeable about beer and the history & mission of the company. It was really nice to be in such a laid-​back place.

Excellent sampling room. The staff were friendly and knowedgable. They also provided a great recommendation for a pub in Plymouth.
The tour was fairly short but very informative.

I attended the Grand Opening of Still Waters Wines and Gourmet in Scituate looking forward to trying some great wines — which I did. Still Water Wines has a great selection of wines but also carries a small, but interesting, selection of beers. Tracy, the owner of Still Waters Wines, suggested I try the Beers from Mayflower Brewing Company. «You won’t be disappointed.» she said. Tracy has a gift for understatement. I’m a fan of porters and stouts, but to be polite I tried all the beers the rep from Mayflower offered. I was very impressed with the Golden Ale, but the Porter was a sip of heaven! The notes of coffee and bittersweet chocolate were obvious without being overpowering — it is a very drinkable beer. Thanks to Tracy and Still Waters Wines for introducing me to the Mayflower Brewing Company and thanks to the Brewmasters at Mayflower Brewing for making such a great porter. Looks like a road trip to Plymouth this weekend!

This is way above average tasting & tour. First the tasting room was huge and had a cool vibe to it — more like an nice bar not a dirty corner of most breweries.
Tastings are FREE and they don’t skimp on the size (probably 4 ounces). They offer six beers to sample. The staff is amazingly friendly — there isn’t any rush even when the place is mobbed. They remember where you are in order of sampling but not in a way were they are checking up on you.
They offer a tour (skipped it since I’ve been on hundreds) that people seemed very stoked about. The neat thing is they used the tours to control the crowd in the tasting room.
Don’t expect a great price break on the beer until you’re buying growlers — they’re the same as you’ll pay in the liquor story.
Great experience.

This is a review on just the beer, I have not been to the brewery yet, although I plan to.
This is yet another one of my favorite local breweries. They have great seasonal beers, the Summer Rye, and Autumn Wheat, as well as there year-​rounds, which are all good. I love the Pale Ale.

So just wrapped up a tour here at the brewery, no puns, I promise. The location is right in the Plymouth industrial park off of exit 7 @ Cherry st, and it might be a little hard to find if you don’t have GPS… See the picture I uploaded for the entrance!
Looks can certainly be deceiving… From the outside you would never know so much history was tied to this place. From the barrels they brew their special drafts in, to the owner himself being tied to the Mayflower. As you walk in, it’s almost like you stepped right into a old-​time draft house.
The storefront is where you buy your craft beer merch, and they have several beers on tap for free to sample. While waiting for the tour, I tried the Pale Ale, Autumn Seasonal, and IPA, and each had distinct flavors that really set them apart.
The tour lasted about a half hour and walks you through a daily brew cycle, and they give you a peek into the whole process. It’s a small facility with loads of character. From the initial fermenting to the bottling process, each has some kind of story that they throw in to keep it interesting.
I guess going to other breweries made it hard to give this place a 5. Sam Adams in Boston gives out shooters for taking the tour and the ambiance just seems more upbeat; either due to the people or otherwise, elsewhere. 4 stars for great free beer, funny hosts, and a great atmosphere that really sets the mood.

This is the best beer you’re going to get. best tshirts /​growler bags too!!!

We landed here looking for a small British vessel which we had crippled during a battle in heavy fog, and there were signs that it’s people’s had come to settle here. I had not thought we had spent so long in finding them! The Engles sought to appease us with small glasses of beer, and told us of their history. Indeed, they had not been here long.
Thought pacified from the drink (butchering and looting is thirsty work), I still demanded a token tribute from these people. They insisted that the tiny souvenir glass was $ 8.75. I left confused as to why the much larger pint glasses were significantly cheaper at $ 4. The next thing I knew I was walking to where our longboat awaited, my helmet missing, my head capped by a brown hat with the name of these people upon it. Truly, there is some dark magic in the porter they make, as it was what I sampled last and I cannot think of any explanation other than witchcraft as to why we did not sack the place to the ground.
I found myself indifferent to their Golden and Pale ales, but their rye was light and refreshing.

There are so many good things you can say about Mayflower beer and the brewery.
Went on a Saturday morning tasting + tour at 11 a.m. We hung around the retail/​bar area and sampled the awesome five-​beer lineup (golden wheat, pale ale, IPA, porter, seasonal) and looked around. Very cool merch, including handmade growler holders.
I recommend buying one of the sample glasses.
Be sure to bring a sample brew with you for the tour! Very informative, and it’s awesome to see things in action. Everything is done in-​house, so you get to see every step and brush up on your beer history along the way.
Our tour guide was awesome too. Going back in a couple of weeks to refill my growler!

Free beer tastings and free tour. Free being the operative word. We tried 5 different beers and they were all okay to wonderful.
In order from best to not the best:
Autumn Wheat– cool flavor of chocolate, barley and malt, had like a burnt wheat beer flavor. I really liked it.
Golden Ale– Typical golden with a good wheat flavor
Porter– too much coffee flavor
IPA– too floral and hoppy
Pale Ale– bitter, floral, bad aftertaste
The place looks new and clean and is a good little tasting bar area– sells growlers and bottles and glasses and other assorted things. Wish I lived closer so I could try their free beers often!

Love Mayflower beer! Especially since it’s in my hometown (so maybe I’m a little biased?)
The brewery tour is great. The owner gives the tour and tells you all about the brewing process.
I also rate a brewery tour by how much they give out for samples, and Mayflower is awesome about giving you a sample of each beer on draft that you want. Yum!
Def go here if you’re in town on the weekend (or whenever they have hours)…it’s free, and worth it! (get a Growler while you’re there too, you won’t be sorry)

Took a little trip to the Mayflower. Not the one that brought the Pilgrims over but the one that brews beer.
They have 4 beers on tap to try for free! The Golden Ale, pale Ale, IPA and the Porter.
All were good. The IPA is probably my favorite.
It was late Saturday afternoon, they have tastings from 1−4pm for the summer. But they are open year round on Thurs. & Fridays from 430−630pm.
You can buy growlers here, I think they are around $ 9. they also have beers in the fridge you can purchase as well.
There was one guy working and he let us walk around out back where they brew. It was interesting to see the porter fermenting since it was bubbling all over the floor and smelled soo good!
Pretty decent beer for a small brewery. Definitely worth a try!
Their location is in an industrial park which may be tricky to find if you are not familiar with the area but the directions on the site will lead you there!

Came here for their 1^st American Craft Breweries celebration & would definitely recommend taking a tour. The brewery is relatively small, but is also still shiny & new. There are 6 beers available to taste at any given time — their porter, IPA, pale, golden, & then there is a seasonal & a cask.
The folks that work here are extremely friendly & knowledgable. They will tell you all about the beers & you can tell they are very passionate about them.

We took the trip out to Plymouth today to check out the digs at Mayflower. And it didn’t fail to impress! The brewery is much more visitor-​friendly than most other breweries, as there’s a little shop and tasting room when you first enter, followed by a very clean and sparkly brewing area. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and they were very willing to let us sample all of their offerings. Today they had their four regular beers on tap (IPA, Golden, Porter, and Pale Ale), and they also had their seasonal (a Summer Rye). It looks like they have grand plans for expansion, so be on the lookout for them throughout New England in the coming months!
