New York and Boston

Hey guys! I’ll be visiting New York and Boston for a few days in June.

Usually in NY I visit Torst / Blind Tiger and Rattle ’N Hum and buy beer at New Beer Distributors, Top Hops and Whole Foods (Bowery and Tribeca).

Should I stick to them or visit someplace else?

Never been to Boston so other than Trillium, what other places should I visit? Is Tree House easily found in Boston?

Please let me know if you are looking for Brazilian beers for trade.

Thanks a bunch!

In Boston you will find the best draft lists at:
Publick House
Row 34
Lord Hobo
Tip Tap (less of a priority)

There are other more out of the way places, but all of above are solid.

You will not find Tree House unless you go there or trade for it. Also, Trillium Boston is for takeaway only. If you want takeaway and onsite consumption you will need to drive/uber to Canton.

Row 34 looks amazing!
Looking forward to pay them a visit.

Have you been to Saturday’s visit at Sam Adams?

I liked Cambridge Brewing Co if you’re nearby while in Boston. Good pub food and some solid beers.

Yes--do not walk to Trillium with hopes of a few pints being available. You’ll get a growler to go and you better like it (or sadly walk away empty handed like I did)

Their taproom is cool but not in Boston. I went on my way through as I headed to Vermont/Maine

For NYC, I’d recommend Ginger Man over Rattle n Hum in that neighborhood. As for other places to try, I guess that depends on your scene. Do you want to check out local breweries or try a bunch of things from all over the US? Do you want to get out to new neighborhoods or stick to certain areas?

I would pass on sam adams.

Since my sister lives in NYC, I’ve been a couple of times at both places and enjoyed them at lot!
Not a big fan of Blind Tiger, though.
Definitively paying Fool’s Gold and Spuyten Devil a visit this time! These are good places, right?
Although my sister lives in lower Manhattan, I’ll be spending lots of time in Brooklyn :)

Bought the tickets earlier this week.
Good thing the tour is 9AM, on a (usually) non-drinking time of the day.
