Reviews
I was told this place was shutting down in a week and had been open for 35 years. I went and had the Jimmy Paige which I didn't care for, it's ok at best. But then ended with The End and this beer is really outstanding. Like really outstanding. So glad I could drink this before the CBC closed down.
Had an incredible time at Cambridge Brewing! We're so glad we had the chance to check them out. The atmosphere was vibrant, the beers were absolutely top-notch, and the people were nothing short of amazing. A huge thank you for the unforgettable experience and for being legendary! If you haven't had the chance to check them out yet, now is the time--sadly, they're closing their doors in December of this year. Don't miss out on this fantastic spot! Cheers to great brews and even better company!
Sad to hear that CBC will be closing for good on Dec 20th 2024. But at least there is time to enjoy a few more of their wonderful beers. "To our dear CBC friends and family, our time is coming to a close. Our last day of service will be Dec. 20th. But what a time it has been! We opened in 1989 with essentially 2 goals in mind. First, to spread the word on what local craft beer was and could be. From a humble start with a 3-beer line up we've expanded the possibilities of craft beer and the myriad styles available today. We were the first commercial brewery to produce a Belgian Style beer in this country and one of the first to embrace multiple yeast strains in-house and even to intentionally invite wild organisms into our brewery. The second goal was to be a community meeting place. A place where our guests could get a break from their hectic lives, gather with old friends, make new ones, and let us take care of them. Over our 35 years we have hosted millions of guests, witnessed joyous family gatherings, awkward first dates, college reunions, running and social clubs, raucous bar crowds and countless other occasions. It is this accomplishment we are most proud of. As we emerged from our early years, so too did additional goals. Providing a positive and supportive workplace, encouraging skills growth, mutual respect and friendship. Developing relationships with local food suppliers to promote their growth and a more sustainable, seasonally driven food sensibility. Trying to lower our impact on the environment through energy efficiency, food composting, recycling and sending our spent brewing grain to dairy farms. And trying to be a good community stakeholder by contributing to countless nonprofit organizations focusing on early childhood education, food insecurity, LGBTQ+ rights, health care and the arts. A heartfelt thank you to all who have participated in our dream. To our customers that have joined us time and again over the years, your support and friendship enabled our success. To all that are working or have worked here, you guys are what made this place so great. What an honor and a joy it has been to work alongside you! So please join us often over the next 4 months! We still have Patio Season, Festbier, Fall Menu and more coming. 35 years, one hell of a run. Much love, Team CBC"
Nice patio in the shade. Great casual stop for beer or small bites. I had a cup of clam chowder - not bad Convenient location in Kendall square. I recommend.
Visiting from Texas. The service was phenomenal especially for being packed to the brim. The food was delicious, I recommend the fish and chips. For non-vegans and for vegans they actual have a few selections. The vibe is very pub like and it was packed to the walls there night I went. There are pool tables and tvs. It's best to just chill out and enjoy your beer.
