Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
Alvarium Beer Company runs a serious brewery taproom with over 130 beers listed, covering IPAs, stouts, lagers, sours, and experimental styles. The taproom menu flags ABV and style for current drafts. Named standouts include Phresh, a New England IPA, and Camp Cluster, a peanut butter s'mores imperial stout. Non-alcoholic drinkers get Athletic N/A, hop water, and cold brew.
- What should I order?
- Start with Phresh, the New England IPA that customers rate as top-tier. For something different, try Camp Cluster, the PB S'mores-inspired imperial stout. If you prefer lighter styles, Citrus Sap (NE Double IPA) or Crispy Roll (rice lager) are solid options.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer enthusiasts looking for a wide selection of styles, from hazy IPAs to barrel-aged stouts, will find plenty to explore. Those avoiding alcohol have thoughtful non-alcoholic options, including hop water and cold brew.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The taproom pours from a bar made of reclaimed bridge I-beams and serves a draft list that rotates through a catalog of over 130 beers. The on-site roastery and cafe add a non-alcoholic counterpoint.
