beer in Boston

Sep 04, 2004 2 Replies

So my trip to Boston is next week. Per your recommendations a few months back, I'll be hitting:



Anam Cara Publick House in Brookline Bulowski's downtown Redbones in Somerville



Here's hoping they have all the brews, food, and ambiance I'm dying for. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions a while back, though I was seeking a hotel at the time I decided to stay with a friend instead. :)



I'm also trying Ethiopian food for my first time, at

anyone tried either of these two beers (which they serve and sound fairly interesting!)?



Ommegang Belgian Style Abbey Ale and Tusker Kenyan Lager

A Few more tips on the places that you're going to ...

  • If you hit Bukowski's (Boston) in the evening, show up earlier as the place is small and can often get packed quickly - especially with all of the students coming back into to town. And don't ask them to turn the music down ... they'll just turn it up and probably shout with excitement. And if you show up in the during the week before 8pm, ask for the buck burger (add mashed or fries and cheese for another couple of bucks).

  • When you hit RedBones, see if UnderBones (the downstairs) is open. It's a different, darker vibe. You can get all the same beers, too. More here:

  • Anam Cara ... is just awesome. Try grabbing the table in the "Dug Out" or sit at the massive social table.

Enjoy our great city!

Cheers!

Try one or more of the brewpubs, too. Boston Beer Works, either across from Fenway or near North Station. The Fenway location is the first, and better one. Also Cambridge Brewing in Kendall Square, Cambridge.
