I've finally cemented my trip to ACBF and would like to make the most of it. Looking for advice on what bottles I should procure while in Boston. I'd like to start trading for the same reason everyone else does, to try awesome beers out of their distribution zone! Really I'm just looking for a few pointers on what I should try to pick up while in Boston and definitely willing to trade some locals. I live in Grand Rapids Michigan, thanks for the help!
Pretty Things, Jack's Abbey, CBC, NEBCO is a good start. Keep an eye out on the New England subforum.
This should probably go in the New England forum but I'll help out. Some good locals you can find, those top two are my favorites: Night Shift Jack's Abby Cisco (especially their sours if you can find them) Cambridge Brewing (they bottle some stuff but their best are tap-only, I'd check them out while you're there) Idle Hands Backlash Berkshire Wormtown (Be Hoppy is amazing) Slumbrew Pretty Things LostTraveler mentioned NEBCO but unfortunately they're no longer available in MA.
Thanks man. Still figuring out the navigation of these forums too. I appreciate the recommendations and advice!
