Nested right near some train tracks, sharing a tiny spot in a warehouse-like nook is Navigation Brewing, one of only a couple of Lowells breweries. Founded by two very friendly guys, Bob and PJ, the operation is still in some pretty early stages of growth but already celebrated their first anniversary over this weekend. Having heard quite a bit about their operation I decided to drive up route 3 and go check it out for myself. After arriving and parking across the street in an overflow lot, I found myself entering a medium-sized room where a tap line ran and where tables were setup for retail bottle sales. A few folks were there including both founders who were very happy to not only introduce themselves but also talk about the beers. Amongst the selection of beers available were a few different stouts including a coffee one and a milk one as well as a pale ale. The latter was pretty good but the stouts were excellent. Thick, creamy and packed with flavor, I was very impressed. I loved the fact that their named their dark beer series "Art of Darkness" too, which is a nice homage to Joseph Conrads book. While the place was a bit cramped they did mention that they will soon be looking for a bigger space and that they will also be improving their somewhat limited hours. Neither Bob nor PJ do this full-time for the time being but I can honestly say that I will be making the trip back hopefully sooner rather than later. The beer was great, the folks were great and I really do believe that theyre onto something here and wish them the best of luck as they try to expand.

Great place run by good guys wit good beers, always a food truck outside when they are open, free parking and its right next to the biggest arts community in the US Western avenue artist studios. You cant go wrong.
