    I'm from South Carolina and have been spending the summer in Boston. I'm about to head home and wanted to know what are some beers that I can't get back home that I need to take back with me.

    I would recommend anything by Jacks Abby, Clown Shoes and Pretty Things have some good offerings as well.

    Definitely second Jack's Abbey. They make some amazing stuff. Also recommend Mystic brewing and Night Shift, they're two tiny breweries that are making very interesting barrel-aged/sour stuff.

    Zoe is probably my favorite local beer. I bought a bottle on Sunday that was bottled on 07/29 so there is fresh Zoe out there for the taking.

    That should give u a nice representation of standard everyday beers in New England.
