A nice find in the Encore
We were looking for something simple while at the Encore casino (i.e. not insanely expensive). We hopped into Night Shift and had some excellent beers (btw, look at both sides of the drink menu, they have more than Night Shift brews). We ordered food and, boy was it a wonderful surprise. The steak tips were excellent (and my friend's chicken sandwich looked awesome). A nice respite from gambling!

Favorite boston-area brewery
Quick hits: - Great beer - don't miss the barrel-aged - No need to form a line at the bar - Dog friendly - Rotating foodtrucks Excellent brewery with fantastic variety. But don't make the mistake I made, which was overlooking their barreled beers. All of their beers are very good, but a friend shared a bottle of some apple brandy barrel-aged horchata-style stout and I realized I'd been missing out. Their IPAs are among my favorite beers generally, but don't get blinded. Also a *Hot Tip* that isn't, because there's signage everywhere saying so, but you don't need to line up at the bar. Just treat it like normal bar service and step up. Service is quick and the bartenders have been good, in my experience, at keeping track of who has been waiting. The interior is large and open, and tends to be less busy than the patio, where it can be tough to get a seat on nicer days. Patio is dog friendly, too, but if your dog isn't good at socializing, this will be a tough spot. Lots of people, lots of other dogs.
