Crafted — Local services in Holliston

Crafted is the best beer market I've ever enjoyed. The owner, Ken, decided that his love of beer (as well as his sanity!) were far more important than some accountancy job in town, and thus, Crafted was born.

I can't wait to return when I visit my family next. The selection is huge, really great and...

The reviews say it all, so I’m just adding another five stars…

I live in the PNW and am visiting my son in Holliston. I spent seven years in Belgium and three in Germany, and I’ve been home brewing for 25. I walked into the store in hopes of finding something decent to drink and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a better selection in a small beer store. If you like Belgian and German beers (and who doesn’t) it is well worth the trip. Proprietor is knowledgeable and directed me to several outstanding local craft beers as well. What an...
