Way Of The Hop

Craft brewing is everywhere these days and Hopsters lets anyone have a go.

IT’S SAID THAT 80 PERCENT of taste is derived from smell. What a relief then, when crossing over to The Seaport and biting into fresh wafts of low tide and gasoline, to pass into the aromatic haven waiting within the doors of Hopsters Brewing Co. If you’ve ever driven past a Kellogg cereal plant or stuck your nose into a box of cornflakes, you know the smell; it’s warm and brown, it’s familiar and comforting, and Hopsters is awash with it. This soothing aroma is not what makes Hopsters one of the most unique breweries in Boston, but it’s a pleasant byproduct.

DIY BEER 

While most breweries craft their chrome cask magic in isolated rooms or behind panes of glass, at Hopsters the beer is brewed right there in the taproom. What’s more, they let you do the brewing yourself.
