Boston area thread

[bearsonacid1]

Thanks guys. After pouring for seven hours and loading out everything, we're going to want to stay around the seaport area and not travel anywhere at 10:30pm. Babbo sounds great.

Are you at the Pro Pig booth?

Indeed. We're pouring bantam dipa, Amarillo dream (Amarillo hopped wheat pale), brass monkey malt likka, and downtown piggy brown. Stop on by.

Will do. Malt liquor is my favorite style of beer.

No barrel aged milk stout?
I'm stopping by regardless, but that was close to the top of my list of stuff to try tomorrow.

Sorry, we're not happy with how it's drinking right now, so had to swap it out.

Fair enough! I'll have to "settle" for some amarillo dream.
Had the brass monkey on tap last week and it was great!

I'm going to pile on and recommend Babbo. Went there for the second time last Saturday and had a good meal. They also have the strangest bathroom I've ever been in; that is worth going there just to see it.

Row has a wait 24/7. Pastoral is awful. Blue Dragon is good too but can get packed because its so small. Tavern Road is supposedly good but haven't been there yet for some reason.

A slightly further walk and you can go to Dumpling Cafe!!!!!!

The Salty Pig has the best bathrooms I've ever been in. Go there. Get the beef tongue reuben. Go to the bathroom.

Never had to use the restroom there. Should I go in before or after I eat the Reuben? Been hearing big things about the meatballs

Don't remember seeing meatballs last time I was there. Maybe I should go back.

I believe there are two. Go both before and after. It's worth it. I was gone for a while the first time, returned to my seat laughing, and my friends really wanted to know what I did in there.

Haven't had the meatballs, but the tongue reuben - while it carries an asterisk for being tongue (though still corned) - is top 3 reubens in my life.

I heard it used to be a Sunday thing and now its on the regular menu

I love beef tongue and Reubens

BTW, the Newburyport-Rockport line isn't running tomorrow between Lynn and Boston, so if you're doing public transport you're going to have to take a bus.

Gotta love those "cellar" IPAs...

Thought the same thing. The Citrus and Piney shouldn't be that old... April release I think?

 

[Jnorton00]

That place is the worst.

Anybody go to the Friday session of ACBF? What was good?

Yeah it was like any other ACBF. Lawsons line went across the entire building. Tons of buttery ipas. OEC was missing or I couldn't find them. They are supposed to be there right?

The fact that Lawson's was the only brewery I would have been looking forward to was the main reason why I noped out of this year's. Also, no Tree House =

Just took a look and, wow, that is the most meh lineup I've ever seen them roll out. There's a handful of booths I'd be interested in, but even a lot of the usual stand-bys are missing.

 

[bearsonacid1]

Well they do have Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

How was stuff from Lord hobo?

They only had 1 beer last night, it was good but nothing spectacular

 

[Auror]

The LHBC beers aren't from their actual system. I wouldn't judge them on these beers, either way. In fact, the beers will probably be worse scaled up, but it seems like they haven't tipped their hand with their good recipes yet.

 

[Auror]

Jack's Abby has Sour Project #4 on tap right now. Somebody just brought me a growler. Definitely the best sour I've had from them. Razzleberries for days. Slightly too acetic, but really good.

It would seem like a bad strategy to bring beers you know aren't great to serve to 15,000 people.

It was pretty disappointing that they had 4 beers on their sign and 3 were crossed off when I hit their booth at 6:05.

 

[bearsonacid1]

The samples of glorious I had were buttery and really green

 

[Dooley]

It was underwhelming enough that I hit up the Narragansett booth. Twice.

Small handful of standouts included Marz Brewing's Jungle Boogie, Lively's Dr. Dankenstein and Banded Horn's The Mountain. Was really looking forward to trying Barreled Souls but their booth wasn't open.

Does anyone know what's popping off at CBC Belmont today? Their Twitter says "Noon "

Looks like another release similar to what they had on Friday.
