WCIPAs in Boston?

For me I’d still have to walk down the T and take it to Harvard, then wait for the bus, then take the ride over on the bus (which if I recall isn’t exactly a short trip).

Or call an Uber.

Easy decision.

It’s not so bad of a walk from that stop to the stadium.

But then again my view of what a “walk” is is skewed. I walked from Medford to Lu Lu’s in Allston just to avoid taking an Uber or the bus during the pandemic. Anything’s walking distance if you have the time.

 

I'll always have a soft spot for Shay's after I wandered in the night after Jason Molina died and they played Magnolia Electric Company in its entirety.

 

I think you meant North Shore, not north side. It’s also debatable whether Saugus is even North Shore.

Regardless, you’ll have easy access to all local breweries. Def come to Salem in September or October and visit Notch. It’ll be nice and chill then.

 

This is just cruel...

 

Austin Street Brewing just released Paseo down in MA, that would be one worth searching for!

 

I think someone mentioned Smutty Finestkind which is great when fresh.

Don't sleep on Winter Hill Tommy Point when it comes around. Classic C-Hop IPA.

Ipswich Route 101 is usually pretty fresh north of Boston.

As a fan of the style they aren't easy to come by around these parts...most breweries do their rendition which always seem to fall flat or walk the juicy line.

If you can get your hands on Port Brewing Wipeout when they send a fresh shipment...that is where its at. $9.99 typically a 4pk to boot.

 

Mayflower Disruption. Just saying.

 

I have to say Bone Up's sour barrel program is criminally underrated across the city. If you're going to Night Shift its worth going across the street to grab something. Their IPAs are also more of the NEIPA hybrid type.

 

And their Robust Porter is quite good too.

 

Congratulations on choosing the correct, north of Boston, area.

And it's funny just how wrong "North side" sounds.

 

I should also add East by Northwest from Untold out of Scituate. Nice bitter piney with just a touch of juiciness

 

I mentioned Schilling/Resilience Serra earlier, that made it down to Boston. They just now are releasing what they call a "West Coast Pale Ale" called Whilom. Looks to be a tribute to SNPA. I assume it will be great because they do great things. And I also assume it will make its way down to Boston also.

Welcome to Boston, if you like lagers get to know Schilling out of New Hampshire also. Resilience is they're "ale" brewery but same place.

 

Schilling is in VA?

 

Yeah, they distribute down here.

 

Notch and JA better than expected? What did you expect?

Some of the best lager brewed in the US can be found at those two spots.
