Hello fellow BA's. Just moved to Swampscott, MA and don't know anyone here, or where to go for Good beer. looking to make connections in this place.
Welcome to the north shore. I'll recommend a few beer bars (Gulu -Gulu & Wild Horse Cafe) & a brewpub (BeerWorks) near you : http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/16924 http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/2840 http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/238 These places near you will give you a good start. Cape Ann Brewing in Gloucester is worth a visit too. Cheers.
Might I suggest "New to the _____ area!" that way every BA doesnt try to help you out, and realizes he cant.
@ReTag, I would titled it that, if I weren't willing to travel all over New England. after a decade in Alaska, nothing in this region seems like too far of a drive. I used to make the 5+ hour trip from Anchorage to Homer just to fill growlers.
This cannot be stressed enough. Best beers in the north east, among the best in the country. Also, you probably aren't too far from The Portsmouth Brewery/Brewpub. go there.
Obviously you're close to Boston - tons of great options there and surrounding areas. See: Cambridge brewing company, lord hobo, sunset grill and tap, deep ellum, etc. etc. etc.
