Cape Cod Beer

Top choice in Cape Cod


Not just a place for beer connoisseurs (although they'll be pretty happy), this brewery is a fun spot to while away some time. Free brewery tours happen daily (except Sunday) at 11am, but you can stop in for tastings ($6) any time. Check the website for events, from bring-your-pet 'yappy hour' to painting classes, live music and comedy nights.

A local farmers market is held here from 3pm to 6pm on Fridays (handy for happy hour). The beer itself is well regarded, with the flagship amber ale a particularly smooth brew.
