Hey Boston, where the beer at?

Will be there in a few weeks. Your recommendations please?

What part of town are you staying in?

Also, do you want recs specifically for beer or just in general?

Cambridge I think near the water.

Bier

depending on where you will be, there are a ton of different places to go to get a ludicrous selection of beers, including:

The Publick House
Lord Hobo
Cambridge Brewing Company
Redbone's
Sunset Grill & Tap

Lord Hobo & CBB are in Cambridge, as is John Harvard's Brew House; Redbone's is in Somerville but is T-accessible on the red line, so if you are near Harvard, Central or Kendall it should be super easy to get to

Sunset Grill & Tap - The place in Allston? o_O

well it has a lot of beers...

Thank you

Deep Ellum is my favorite beer place in allston i guess. haven't been there in quite a while though

Those are all v good recs!

Ooohh there's that new place by Kendall Square which is in Cambridge - Mead Hall: http://themeadhall.com/. That is supposed to have a lot of beer.

Damn - http://twitpic.com/4pm5kq

I had not heard of Mead Hall! intersting

My bus goes by it. We should go there next FAP maybe.

zomg we are at Meadhouse right now

I don't know if any of you have ever gone to Deep Ellum, but the Boston bar named after a Dallas neighborhood will shortly be stocking beer from the recently started Deep Ellum Brewing Company that is actually located in the Dallas neighborhood. I've only tried their IPA, which was solid. However, I don't really like IPAs so I can't tell you how it compares.

Maybe we can do a virtual toast at some point.

huh, I've never even heard of that place

I guess it's in Allston or something? Made the news here, because it's the less than a year old brewery's first out of state deal.

yeah it's like right in the heart of Allston according to the address

ha and it was mentioned upthread

apparently I have a memory like a sieve

that was 4 days ago. Lots of water under the bridge since then.

I've been to Deep Ellum a couple times. It's OK but it's usually packed and really loud. I'm old and less tolerant of both those things now.

yeah, agreed. also, i had the wrong kind of glasses on.

(just went to meadhall; bunch of IPO-drunk power nerds stole my couch when i went up to order drinks; enjoyed the mead)

deep ellum is fantastic and literally the only reason to be in allston most of the time

i'll go again, but only if you'll be my beatrice past the dudes in the bearadvocate.com shirts

beeradvocate.com. bearadvocate.com is probably something different

I liked it - it's just too loud and crowded! I feel similarly about River Gods.

the silhouette is way better than deep ellum anyway (says the ghost of 22-year-old me)

which is to say i have no idea what it's like now, but in those days i was on such close personal terms with paulie the resident drunk that he once affectionately offered me half his cape codder gratis

lol my 21/22 year old self would have said something similar about The Model.

yeah remy i'm not signing up for much involving the guys who would use bearadvocate.com

I would like to ask the Patriots fans here to explain this.

What's the easiest way to get to Allston and Deep Ellum from Cambridge?

66 bus from harvard square leaves you at deep ellum's front door basically

also the 64 from Central Square

64 only runs like once an hour though, its the bane of my existence

honestly though Deep Ellum probably isn't cool enough to go thru the trouble of crossing the river when there's plenty of good spots in Cambridge

yeah i mean if calstars is looking for something closer he should go to cbc/lord hobo

Does Boston have a Japantown, Koreatown, or Chinatown? And if so where to go for beer there?

Don't go to Chinatown for beer. Chinatown beer sux unless you like Tsingtao. Jacob Wirth is a German restaurant on the edge of Chinatown and the theater district and they have good German beer but aside from that all the beer places are nowhere near Chinatown.

Hi all, brewer from Boston Beer Works here (Canal St. location by the Garden/North Station). Maybe we're not hip like all the hip hipster places already listed, but I like to think we have great beer. So, yeah. Come drink some! Anyone, really!

Wow hi! Glad to make your acquaintance.

What do ppl think of a Canal St BBW FAP?

man i've always wanted to go to your place before celtics/bruins games but you seem to fill up early

thatd be fun dan!

epi, tell us when you're around and we'll come say hi

Sounds great! We open at 11 and I'm usually around until 5 or 6 pm. But I can stay later, or come in on my day off, or whatever. Are we talking lunchtime, evening, weekend, or what? Whatever works, I'll be there!

Yeah, we do start to fill up a couple hours before Cs/Bs games, but there's always room for more people if you don't mind standing around being jostled a bit while you drink.

Hey I am in Fla but back on mon. You guys around next weekend? When is calls tars here anyway? Let. Us do this shit.

nice phone post george

Shut it lol

Next weekend probably works for me/us

Cool, I'll be there Friday and Sunday, off Saturday but could maybe pop in.

next weekend sunday is not good but other days are

Oh yeah, if anyone's seen the Boston episode of Drinking Made Easy, my 5 minutes of fame was being on that show, back when I worked at the Fenway location.

Anyone up for something this weekend?

argh, I'm actually going to be at Nashville Beerfest

at least you will have beer!

True! ^_^

I'm away the next two weekends, but after that I'm scott free until September

How about third weekend in August? Is that when you're back "soda"? You know we could also go CRAZY and do something mid-week. That said I am old and tired and generally prefer weekends too.
