More infoBridge opened in 2012 as the first nano-brewery on the North Shore and never grew out of the plain room it started in: long tables, a chalkboard that turns over faster than anyone can keep up with, and a patio that takes dogs. The beer is the point, and the IPAs in particular are as good as anything brewed on this side of the water. There is no kitchen, so food comes from whichever truck is parked outside, which is either a flaw or the whole charm depending on how hungry you are when you walk in.
Take a spot at one of the long tables and order a flight so you are working through the same four beers and can argue about which one wins. Check what food truck is parked outside before you settle, because the taproom has no kitchen of its own. It sits a few minutes' walk off the Mountain Highway strip, so it slots in cleanly on either side of something else.
