Recommendations for brewpubs in the boston area...

another vote for Cambridge brewing - they don't have a large variety on at any one time, but if they have a barleywine on their barleywines are always very good

and another for Sunset Grill as a beer bar, you'll get to try stuff from almost every new england brewery you can think of

John Harvards in Harvard Sq. is good, it's a chain out here
Rock Bottom is good
Beer Works will probably be crowded with a Red Sox crowd while you're here

I missed the Woburn part

you're a good 20 minutes outside of Boston, which means you're about 30 minutes from Haverhill and I can't recommend The Tap highly enough

It's about a half hour North Eastish from you, but thats only 10 minutes more than going Southish to Boston



ed - checking the beer list and now I want to head up
Milk Chocolate Porter
5.8% abv, 36 ibu
We brew a Robust American Porter, then transfer the beer onto raw organic Cacao from Peru and Bourbon Vanilla Beans from Madagascar and wait until the flavor is just right. The result is a deliciously rich beer with chocolately goodness.

If you around on April 24, this looks interesting:

Unfortunately I fly in the 25th... now I want to change the flight. Something called the bacon and beer festival pretty much has to be awesome.

Good lookin beer list! I'll definitely hit them. I'll be staying at a seminar in downtown Boston and the hotel I'll be at is in Woburn... so both areas are good. Who cares if I have a long cab ride to the hotel after a few great beers.

Timely topic since I'll be going east to Boston for my first time in mid May. Staying at the Omni Parker House hotel on 60 School Street. Won't have a car. Any recommendations within walking distance?
