Lord Hobo Brewing Company

"Have long history with this place, as I often visited before they could even sell their beer - they didn’t have a license at first so had to give samples away to build a following. So that was good. But then recently went to their sister site in Cambridge where they charged me $11 for each beer (plus tips), probably to make up for all my free tastings. Still not worth it, though. Today I stopped by the actual brewery in Woburn, and while pleased to see they finally added food other than pizza to their menu (which at $23 for a small, I wasn’t going to buy), I was not at all thrilled with other options. Tried the wings, which definitely needed extra sauce to taste good, but I really resented having to pay 50 cents for slightly more than a full teaspoon of pretty boring sauces. I won’t order food here again. Ever. The beer, though, at least the Galactic Vagabond, was exceptional. Most of my circle of friends have grown way past their Boom Sauce, which used to be our staple, but their newish ones have never urged me to order a second. I did this one. One final note to describe something that has bothered me from the very beginning of this place - even when the beer was free - is the crowd in attendance has never been my crowd. So many other breweries have a very diverse clientele - but not Lord Hobo in Woburn . They have never had variety. Hard to say why, although as soon as you walk in you would understand, but I’ve been here maybe 50+ times, and I have NEVER felt at home and comfortable in this place. Nonetheless, I like their new more open to the outdoor space and may try them once again when the weather is more conducive to outdoor seating."

"10! Great beer! Great burgers and the atmosphere and bartenders were friendly and helpful! The beer is absolutely delicious and for beer drinkers that means a lot. The stout was like a dessert! Can’t wait to go back next year- I live in California and will be on business there in 2024!"

"5 Stars for the name, logo, and artwork alone. Lol. Stopped in by chance while traveling and so glad we did... The space is massive. 2 sides in an L shape with plenty of tables and bar space. Smaller but functional outdoor patio. They tap a large selection of beers, that kinda run the gamut on style and flavor profiles. I did a flight and everything tasted spot on. Highly recommended."

"Despite the huge dining room footprint, the toughest part of the experience here during the evening is grabbing a table. No worries, the food and beers are great. Portion sizes on the food are huge so hope your party is into sharing!"

"Very surprised by the size and caliber of this brewery. It's huge and looks great inside. I thought LH just made a few beers, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a long list of other beers to choose from. You can get a flight of 6 for $22 which is reasonable and there was plenty of choices. Definitely worth the trip if you haven't been there."
