Might be doable, but isn't it a lot of running all over to things that aren't particularly near each other?
That's why I asked

If I were you, I would skip the brewery. I haven't been there, so can't say how great, but it's geographically separated.
You easily do duck tour, USS Constitution (which I love), lunch at Milk Street.
There may be a downtown, say 1:30PM, mincha minyan, but I'm not sure. If you want, I can inquire. Henche probably knows.

So maybe do those three earlier, and then hop over to the brewery and go straight to the airport from there ?

Although if it turns out he has to go to Brookline for mincha (I davened at 2 at Israel Book Shop and ate at Elite one of the days I was there - that can be a time saver), the brewery becomes not so out of the way.

There's a downtown mincha, but I don't have details. Not near my office.

I agree. All depends on timing of course, but lunch and Mincha at the book store position you better for Sam Adams.  There are at least 6 lunch options within 5-10 minute walk of Israel Book Store, in order of proximity:
Eilat (C'Y, IINM)
Taam China
Kupels (just bagels and shmears)
Rubin's
Pure Cold Press
Rami's
JP Licks (ice cream and cake)
Jerusalem Pita and Grill
16 Handles

I recommend milk st for lunch. Get hot pastrami on ciabbata. With avacado, onions, chipotle sauce, and cole slaw.

If you end up going there make sure to get "frozen dough".

If I am not mistaken, Café a lot is C-y. That is close to young Israel Brookline.

Booked for a day trip with the family :)

Meat sandwiches at Milk St for lunch, ducky tour for fun, and Taam China for dinner? Any other activity for a 2+5 year old?
