#Harpoon ufo white serving temp series
A short walk from Drink and the conference center, the Crab is a series of shacks and tents where good seafood and decent craft beer is served, all with a nice view of the city over the channel. In the same general area as the World Trade Center, home to this year’s conference.īarking Crab, 88 Sleeper Street, Downtown Fort Point Channel If you can name it, they can make it and the staff uses only fresh ingredients, often made in-house. Not a beer bar but a great subterranean haunt that focuses on high quality cocktails. There is nothing else like it anywhere nearby and the interior is part-Irish pub, part-Alice in Wonderland dream sequence.ĭrink, 348 Congress Street, Downtown Fort Point Channel Your best bet for a range of good beers on tap in the downtown area. The Kinsale, 2 Center Plaza, Downtown Government Center For a more interesting pint, try these places out.
There are a few places here and there that I’ll mention but you’re pretty much going to find the following beers on tap at every single bar: Harpoon IPA and/or UFO Hefe-weizen, Bass, Guinness, Harp, Miller Lite, Bud Light, Budweiser, Blue Moon, Stella Artois, Sam Adams Boston Lager and a seasonal, and maybe Newcastle. Next, if you’re staying downtown, it’s pretty much a dead zone for good beer. This is not an infallible truth but a pretty fair rule of thumb. So if it has an Irish-sounding name (say, the Purple Shamrock), it’s a good bet the place is crap. Boston is home to an army of boring, lifeless, pre-fabricated faux-Irish pubs. So I thought I might offer some thoughts on alternative places to get a drink during the conference, for people who want to delve a little deeper into the city’s pubs.įirst off, a few words of advice. You know about them, have read about them, and may even have been to them before. Getting to the bar for a pint, hard enough at some of these places on a Tuesday in February, is going to be damned near impossible during the conference.Īnd you don’t need me to tell you about these places. Ground zero will inevitably be the Cambridge Brewing Company in Kendall Square. Places like The Publick House, Deep Ellum, The Roadhouse, and Sunset Grill will be jammed with beer lovers from all across the country and beyond. After the conference lets out and folks have finished attending the various industry events, they’re going to be headed out on the town to visit some of the city’s well-known beer bars.
Still, it is very drinkable.Brewers, distributors, beer writers, and other industry types are getting ready to descend on Boston next week for the annual Craft Brewers Conference, hosted by the Brewers Association. The aroma delivered more than the flavor, with all the herbal and perfumy spice, the melon, nuttiness, and the hit of cocoa. Overall: “The orange character is likeable-could use a bit more of the creamy body to go with it. The carbonation is a bit low, and the body drops off very quickly. A great blend of citrus and coriander with the spice ascendant-it’s piney, flowery, and woody. A hint of nuttiness, with a whiff of cocoa, and a honey floral character.”įlavor: “The orange dominates on the flavor, along with some raw, grainy wheat, which supports an estery blend of orange, lemon, and vanillin. Enjoyable notes of melon and cantaloupe, with ripe orange, tangerine, grapefruit, and a touch of lemon. Like all UFO beers, we leave UFO White UnFiltered.” What our panel thoughtĪroma: “A blend of fruity, herbal, floral, and vanilla. “Brewed with orange peel and coriander, UFO White is the perfect choice for a summer’s barbecue, a night out with friends, or any time you’re thirsting for something a little different.
