Boston Beer House

I was up in Boston this past weekend for a good friend's wedding. We had a form of bachelor party on Saturday night. We sort of forgot that this was the weekend before St. Patrick's Day. In Boston. In a major college hang-out. So our wait to get in the beer mecca Sunset Grill was more than two hours (thankfully the White Horse Tavern just down the street was a decent place to spend a few hours getting, ahem, warmed up). One of the best things about the Sunset Grill, as opposed to Brickskeller in Washington DC, is the prodigious number of beers they have on tap, not just in bottle. The difference from Brickskeller that I was less enamored of, was the division of the menu by beer type (e.g., stouts, blonds, lagers) rather than region. I suppose it makes sense if you want to explore new beers in a style you like, but the divisions were more than I thought possible. Who knew beer could be divided into so many different categories? The best thing to do is go to the Sunset Grill and discover for yourself. The food is pretty good too, such as the pulled pork sliders, fajitas, and potato skins.
