Boston Recomendations

[blisster]

I have to go to Boston in June for a few days and am looking for a recommendations on which Breweries or pubs are a "must go".

Have any of you ever done this tour?

I'm looking at this tour schedule but not sure if it's worth it.. The only one I'd really want to see in the list list is Cambridge Brewing/Meadhall, I'm not familiar with the others:

Saturday: Night Shift Brewing, Mystic Brewery/Downeast Cider, Boston Beer Works, Cambridge Brewing/Meadhall

Night Shift! I'm jealous.

Don't forget about Pretty Things. Check out this article, not just for Boston but they're in there.

Been to the Sam Adams one, decent tour, they only use that brewery for their one off stuff, and I believe all of their barrel aging (utopia?) is done there.

Mind you, if I had to do it again, I would skip the tour, and head directly to the bar, which is the last stop of the tour. Can also buy some of their brews there as well, or at least you could when I was there.

Another to look into is Jack's Abbey http://jacksabbybrewing.com/

And Trillium Brewing http://www.trilliumbrewing.com/

Thanks Scott and Rob 

I've got the BostonBeerTour booked.

I'll try to make it to Trillium brewing the other night I'm there. Jack Abbey's is a little out of the way from where we are staying.
Pretty Things sounds like a neat business idea.. No brewery to visit but I'll be looking for their brews!

Boston Wine Exchange had a pretty good selection of beers for purchase, located between Quincy Market area and Theatre District
