The Bar Towel

I'm heading to Boston for a conference on Sunday so was hoping people might have some recommendations. Conference is in Back Bay, and I won't have a vehicle, so outlying spots like Treehouse are probably out.

Yup. Load up the cart with $1500 worth of Pappy and expect a final bill of $0. Rinse and repeat for next time.

Rogue's Hazelnut Brown has been my favourite over the years.

I had the Whitewater one last night. Very nice! I'd buy that again.

Great Lakes Lager. A case of 24 for $50 is hard to beat, it’s good cold, and fits the lawnmower beer requirement. For non-Ontario, it’s Jever for me - delicious Pilsner that’s relatively cheap. Jever is my go to, almost always in my fridge. I just went with DAB over Jever due to accessibility: I ca...

We've been several times. Nothing really further to add than that Cass has said.

The beer (only some I recall) is also available throughout the Eataly space.

We went last night. The tap list is quite small now. Betty's Lager, Carlsberg, Asahi, Genius Stout and Wellington Upstart IPA are on tap. No food service though they have a sign saying to bring in your own food.

Didn't St Andre disappear for some time? Or am I misremembering? I recall it used to be on tap at C'est What years ago.

I do, but sadly with very low expectations of actually getting one. Not long ago I ordered a pint at The Only and at least, the bartender was decent enough to explain they only offered that beer in 12oz. Remember when ordering a half pint cost almost as much as a pint? Something, something cost of ...

I usually just ask for the beer name and modify that for any smaller size than whatever the posted "full" serving size that beer is.

"Pint" usually comes into play when I start bouncing around between sizes and the bartender asks if I want a "pint" or a "half."

GLB as well.

Dec 24 is the last day. Condos!

Yeah that would be cool too.
