Craft Beer Cellar Braintree

Pretty cool place to go and look for new beers to try. Staff was nice and friendly, welcoming me when I entered the store. Try it out!

I don’t even drink alcohol and I love this place! The hand-​picked beers and wine make great gifts for friend and family beer and wine-​lovers alike. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and super friendly, and can tell you specifics about each individual bottle. They also have a fantastic points program, where you can earn a percentage off of future purchases after accumulating so many points. I love a great deal! I HIGHLY recommend this store!

I really want to give this place more stars because I love the selection and do enjoy going here. However, the first time that I went in, my boyfriend and I felt like we had to beg for some service. We weren’t greeted at all, even though there were 3 people working, and we actually had to ask for some help. When we asked, they seemed surprised that we were going to buy something. After we brought our selections to the counter, they were friendly. The next time that I came in, they were a bit more welcoming. It would be the perfect place if I could walk in and feel like they were happy to have me there.

I don’t drink beer. But my man does, and he likes crafty types. I went in to grab some new things for him as a gift, but with my limited knowledge I was a little out of my league. The woman working there was very helpful when I told her what type he likes. She helped me pick out 6 bottles to make a nice little 6 pack of randomness.

So psyched this place exists – it’s heaven for local beer aficionados and craft beer drinkers in general. To my knowledge there is no other store south of the city that has as an extensive beer selection and a knowledgeable staff to boot. If you love beer, and love to keep it unique and different this is place for you! You’ll recognize many brands from the northeast, but selection is balanced with west coast, Midwest and southeast brews. Not to mention the European selections. Love that you can get all the Trappist ales too! On street parking can be iffy, so if you don’t mind a short walk park across street in public lot next to the Weymouth Landing commuter rail. Note, there are a few other locations around the state, including Newton and a new location in Framingham. Great concept!

While I would definitely not consider myself a beer snob or expert, I do love craft beer and I love trying new kinds. The only trouble you will run into coming here is what to pick! The people who work here are super knowledgeable and helpful and are happy to offer suggestions based on what you like. I totally felt like a kid in a toy store that gets to pick any toy they want. Awesome store, great layout and friendly staff.

I don’t know why it took me so long to head to this craft beer store. They have amazing selections! I was strolling through the aisles and coolers just seeing what they had. I saw beers from brewers in Cali, Western Mass, other countries, all over man! There was a tasting going on in the back but I didn’t have time to stop and chat but it looked like people were having a good time. There is a small selection of wines in the back but this place is all about the beer. The parking can be difficult, I would recommend looking on a side street rather than braving the traffic on the main street. If you want to pick up something special or different, I recommend this place!

First of all, a dangerous place, if you like craft beer. I walk in there, and my head spins. It’s a good thing, then, that the staff is excellent. Not one single time have I asked for a recommendation based on whatever flavor kick I’m on and been disappointed. And remember that beer you had from there last year, you’re pretty sure was a Belgian and maybe had a fish with a monocle on the label but you can’t remember the name? They have it stored under your profile in the computer. Oh, and a little discount after so many purchases.
I should also add that purely by coincidence I was their first customer, and they never ever forget that. Ever. Glad I was, though, because it’s good beer heaven.

This is my new GO TO for all things beer related. The selection is mind blowing and the fact that you can build your own 6 pack of almost anything in the store is fantastic. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful.
If you are a fan of craft beer then do yourself a favor and check this place out!

A welcome addition to the south shore. Excellent range of domestic and imported beers. And I love that 6 packs can be split up to make your own hand-​selected one. Plus, decent selection of glassware and beer-​related book titles.
Bonus: After inquiring about a particularly hard to find beer, I was pleasantly surprised to get a phone call a couple of weeks later telling me they’d scored some for me. Majorly cool.

I have never seen such a wide variety and large selection of Hefeweizens!!! I am pretty picky about my wheat beers and was very pleasantly surprised — I even bought three different kinds! You can purchase your brews in four packs, six packs, large singles, or grab a single from an existing pack to mix and match. If you’re an IPA fan, their selection is endless!

Beer heaven with beer geeks. Nuff said. Just visit and reach your nirvana. Very convenient location for anybody on South Shore. Tasting they provide help finding the right beer for everybody. Truly great place to visit for beer drinkers.

I’ve found beer mecca and only 5 minutes down the road from the apartment i’ve lived in for over 5 years.
In my quest to find Sprig, a cider I tasted and Drink Craft Beer summer Beer fest. I found there was a place in Braintree that sold it. So I got in my car parked walked inside and what did I find?
A small store packed full of very organized very awesome craft beer.
Beer on Beer on Beer.
Low and behold in the back in the cooler was the Cider I was looking for.
I will be back, oh yes…

Awesome! The staff are super friendly and knowledgable. The tastings are happening all the time! Check our Facebook and Twitter to find out about tastings. So cool to meet the people who actually brew the beer at a tasting and talk to them about the process, I learned a lot!

Highly recommend browsing.

I’ll sum up this review simply by saying that this IS the place for beer geeks/​beer snobs
I love beer like you wouldn’t believe, and I hate big, mass produced beer because I think the stuff stinks. But unfortunately, the problem with beer being sold in liquor stores, is that if you want to try a different beer, it gets both expensive and wasteful, especially if you don’t like the beer that you had to buy a whole six pack to get.
Luckily, Craft Beer Cellar is a worthy alternative that allows people to cherry pick what beers they want. Selling virtually hundreds of beers from all over the country to all over the world, this place offers customers the option to get an empty 4 pack or 6 pack carton of beer and pick whatever beers they want, and being charged per beer. This is a wonderful option that has allowed me the chance to not only get the season beers I love, but to try beers that I didn’t know existed. The place is extremely well organized with beers being dictated by region. When you walk in, you’ll see a beer shelf dedicated to beers produced strictly in New England while in the middle of the store are shelves dedicted to the east coast, midwest and the west coast. This place also has a small selection of hard liquor, a section for people to buy beer glasses and a section to get small foods that can go with beer.
I’ll say that if you love Budweiser, Coors, Miller or any mass produced stuff, you might be in the wrong store. But if you love craft beer, this is the right place to be. Staff is very nice and very knowledgeable. They know their stuff. The store also offers a club for however many beers you buy, you can get a small discount for being a loyal customer. The store also offers beer tastings from breweries both in the area and out of state, which is always nice.
Street parking only. But this place is worth the trek if you’re sick of going to liquor stores that require buying an entire six pack, just to try one beer. This place gives you the option of just getting that one beer, plus 3 or 5 more that you may want to try in the future.
To reiterate, this is the place for beer geeks/​beer snobs.

Excellent selection! The staff knows their stuff! They will also get you beers they don’t carry in the store if they are available. Highly recommend!

Such a great find! Any and every beer you could want from ale to porter and everywhere in between. Friendly and helpful staff, tastings almost every night and prices that fit the craft.
Don’t see a beer you want? Not a problem! They will take your information and personally call you when it arrives or to let you know the brew isn’t available at that time. A definite A+ in my book!

Cannot recommend these guys enough. My lady and I went on a beer adventure of a lifetime in Denver/​Boulder and were saddened by the fact that we had to come back to Boston knowing we had to live with only memories of the beers we drank until we made it back.
Through a little bit of research we found the Craft Beer Cellar in Braintree (keep in mind it’s in Jackson Square in Weymouth but unbeknownst to me that’s where the Weymouth/​Braintree line is).
They were a light at the end of a dark tunnel of sadness. Jeff, the knowledgeable and friendly owner directed me to the store and from there it was like being in heaven. They had more of the beers from Colorado than I could have imagined (Great Divide, Left Hand, Breckenridge, Oskar Blues) and then some. I couldn’t believe it.
I haven’t even begun to try their local selection or west coast or Belgium selection.
If you are looking for a craft beer these guys are true to the name.
If you love beer you will go here often. They were even nice enough to put my name down when the Great Divide Claymore Scotch Ale came in.

Finally, a CBC right where I need it. Make your own six packs! Tastings! Knowledgeable folk and a great — just GREAT — selection of beers. You could spend hours in here crafting the perfect six pack. They have a points program so you can get discounts and such. Super awesome spot for us South Shore craft beer lovers. They also have a small (but good) wine and spirits selection. Park behind Chair Fair if you can’t get a street spot.
