    Is this still "yet"? It feels like it's getting time to drop that qualifier...

    Very good plan. Trillium has been killing it and the Harpoon Beer Hall is really cool. If you are staying near Stoddards then you can easily hop on the Red Line at Downtown Crossing and take it a few stops to Kendall for CBC. For a store near your hotel check out Boston Wine Exchange. Pricey but good selection for downtown.

    I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions, unfortunately my plan was a bit too ambitious and my conference was a bit more overwhelming than I had thought, however, I was able to hit a number of places.

    Trillium, picked up a half growler of their Congress St. IPA, very nice stuff, cool brewery and nice guys. I asked about in-house tastings, I guess one of the issues they need to clear up is they don't have a handicapped accessible bathroom and that is delaying their permit.

    I hit Stoddards twice, I tried going to Curley's but was too packed and I was on my own. Stoddards was really good, good service, nice beer list, and really good food.

    Hit up the Boston Wine Exchange someone recommended, excellent selection and friendly owner. I picked up a couple bottles of Pretty Things as I've heard of them but have never seen their stuff where I am from.

    Then I was able to hit up Publick House, great f-ing spot, it was Tue. so not too crowded, spent 4 hours there, very good service, great food and draft selection and was able to try a few more Trilliums stuff there.

    Thanks again for the suggestions, hopefully I'll get to come back soon and visit some other spots. (I will post my reviews in appropriate selections.
