American Fresh Beer Garden - Somerville

Great brewery for any occasion. I am a returning customer. There beer selection is pretty big for how cozy this location is. Their porters are something to remember. There is a great variety of food in this location, and even better is that they have a pretty good handful of vegetarian and gluten free options. Both the interior and the exterior design and cleanliness of this location is well maintained and looks good! This is a great spot to try new beers, and catch up with friends and family. A well known spot in the assembly row area. As a matter of fact, it is on the first location one can see as soon as they exit the assembly row orange line station. If however one feels the need to drive to this location, there is an abundance of parking within the parking garage, or the commercialized shops across the street.

I stopped here on a Thursday afternoon for lunch on the spur of the moment. I sat at the bar since it was not crowded at that time. The bartender was friendly and brought me a menu right away. I had the marinated steak tips asparagus and potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly and it had just the right amount of marinade to add flavor but not over-power the steak. The asparagus was seasoned amazingly. It was also a decent sized portion. I don't drink alcohol so I didn't try any beers but I did notice they had over 20 different kinds of beer on tap.

Nice environment, free parking in the garage around the corner for less than 3 hours. Small food menu with a some nice choices including burgers, appetizers and more. We had the queso dip which was nice and tasty. We got 2 flights and the beers were good, nice selection, some better than others.

Went with several friends on Saturday night. Greeted by friendly staff, seated much faster than I expected. Good selection of different types of beer, everyone in our party found something they enjoyed and staff were happy to pour samples to help us decide. Food was great with lots of interesting choices for a variety of palates. The fish sandwich I got with onion rings was fantastic! And the porter flavored ice cream was a hit. Our server was friendly and out service was well paced. The space is comfortable and we saw lots of groups enjoying their evenings. This is always at the top of my list of places to recommend in town

Had the tri tip, mac and cheese with asparagus. The tri tip was cooked to perfection, juicy and tender with plenty of flavor. The mac and cheese was also just as good. As you can see, the beer selection is daunting. I ordered the brew masters flights not realizing it's quite a selection for one person but, I did enjoyed them all after a whole 90 minutes of tasting :P
