Every year, my group of buddies go on an annual hockey trip into the States to see the Toronto Maple Leafs play in a foreign arena. It's fun, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than $600 to watch here in Canada and it's a weekend with the guys getting absolutly hammered in the name of Hockey. This year we picked the the Boston Bruins for some original 6 glory on Dec. 10th
So... Last year I wasn't really into homebrewing... I was basically thinking about it in the back of my head. At this time I knew nothing about the differences between homebrew and commercial beer. Needless to say... I now know a hell of a lot more....So much so... this time when I bring beer back from the states I want to make sure it's not some cheap Rolling Rock BS etc etc...
Question #1:
If you could buy 4... 6 packs, what would they be?
Where is the best place to find them? In Canada we only have the Beer Store..nothing else...so shopping for beer in the states, to me, seems like it's all over the map...I mean Christ...you can get it in a Walmart... but is it good?
Question#2
For anyone who knows downtown Boston... Any good pubs with lots of Craft beer?... I figure if I'm going to introduce my buds to "real" beer I have the best chance to do it while they are on vacation. Preferably, we would want a Pub close to the Westin Waterfront hotel...10-30 min walk from there.
