We're Being Invaded- by Breweries

There's been an invasion in Cambridge, East Cambridge/Somerville line to be specific, lately.  It's not bugs or critters, thank goodness!  It's an invasion of breweries.  It started with Aeronaut, ok they aren't in Cambridge but they are nearby and have been very successful since opening last year.  Within a two mile radius from us we now have, or in the near future will have, Slumbrew, Lord Hobo Brewery, Lamplighter Brewery, and at least one more that I can't remember.

A while back JO and I decided to have a city adventure and set out to find the Slumbrew brewery.  It's about a 25 minute walk from our house, in the Boynton Yards area.  We had to do a little bit of wandering through a business park at night to get there so I was pretty happy when we finally arrived at our destination.

The brewery has a large bar, several tables, and lots of counter space along the back wall.  You can see the brew tanks behind the bar.  The lighting is soft and there was good music playing.  Since I love Happy Sol I ordered that but I think JO tried one of their other beers.  We had already had dinner but checked out the food menu just to be "informed."  The menu looked good and I could definitely see us coming back for dinner after a crazy day at school.

I love how these areas in Cambridge are being transformed and gentrified and making our neighborhood even more enticing than it already is!
