    "The Ginger Man is now hiring employees for a January opening on State Street. Expansion to Boston has been in the works for three years but hit roadblocks at a couple of previous locations. As Boston Restaurant Talk reported nearly a year ago, this one — 148 State St., near Faneuil Hall — appeared to stick."

    Prefer the TX G-man operations to the northeast ones, way more relaxed & less douche-tastic IMO. But maybe just a reflection of the local culture? Good addition to that part of the city nonetheless.

    Looking at the photo... if you take away the Guinness posters, what's left is essentially how I feel Jacob Wirth's should look if it didn't have an identity crisis.

    Opening next month, but looks like they're still hiring all of the staff. Quick turnaround.

    That part of the city is filled with tourist traps, generic after work bars and cheesy clubs so the Gingerman would be a great addition.

    I really enjoyed the Gingerman I visited in Austin. A welcome addition to the city.

    This is very good news for the Boston beer scene specially for that area of town.

    That is perfect as I usually park near the New England Aquarium for attending Celtics or Bruins games, Anthem Kitchen + Bar was our routine recently, but it sounds like Gingerman will be an upgrade from the other eateries along the way.

    Easily can see doing lunch there or making it the last stop at night. While its not hard to find a decent beer in the area it will be refreshing to have a place that will put a bit more attention on serving better beer.

    A week ago they were doing some tests in the kitchen, emailed them to see if they had an update ...

    If this is anything like the Ginger Man bars in Fairfield Co Connecticut and Manhattan you are in for a treat. The pictures look like the Ginger Man down the street from me looked before it rebranded itself to Cask Republic. It sounds like the kitchen in Boston is a step above the CT GM too. Cheers!

    Does anyone know if this opened yesterday? Work nearby and been meaning to check it out, but I know they pushed back their opening a couple times and no updates to their social media or website...

    I read somewhere yesterday that they did not open yet. No new date was given other than "mid March."

    Yeah, the Eater article I posted earlier has been updated to say "mid-March."

    I found this interesting, also from Eater. The Boston owner is the same person who owns the NYC Ginger Man, but he no longer owns the Connecticut and Texas branches:

    "The Ginger Man, which also has a location in Midtown Manhattan, has 100 draft lines at its new Boston location, Eater reported. It has a 75-tap bar on the main dining level, and 15 drafts at a smaller, lower-level bar."

    Boston Magazine math fail.

    Wonder if they will have a house beer like the Midtown one has.
