George is their Brown Ale and Vera Mae a Saison - I believe you're correct for the IPA.

Had a Hill Farmstead Dorothy, good not great, and a Dogfishhead Pennsylvania Tuxedo, which was quite good. Like a pale ale with a Christmas tree blended in.

Hit up Armsby Abbey today for lunch and a couple Hill Farmstead's, Harlan and Mosaic, both where great.
Comfort food was on point as well, Tomato Soup with grilled cheese and Mac and Cheese for the kids.

Fort Point don't have the address though. You should head over to Night Shift Brewery in Everett Ma, great stuff.

Craft Beer Cellar is pretty good for a beer store. For Breweries, Trillium in Fort Point and Canton is good as is Nightshift mentioned above. For bars, if you haven't hit Lord Hobo yet try to get over there.

While not a beer store don't miss Trillium on Congress St in the Seaport. They sell 750ml bottles and do growler fills (their own growlers) right next door is Fort Point Market where you should fine a good selection of bottles.

Brooklyn Brewing Quintaceratops. I had very high hopes, which were ruthlessly dashed. Sour socks mixed with cough medicine, and a hint of something that doesn't taste good. I got three sips in, and had to dump it. Wasn't skunked, just awful.

thanks guys. am familiar with trillium and made another stop there tonight - reasonable walk from the hotel. between the summer st growlette and the stoufffe bottle I picked up at whole foods I'm feeling pretty good... will refill the growlette tomorrow!

took a look at lord hobo's draft list and took a pass - familiar with all the non-local stuff and not that excited by their local options. had the boom sauce before, it's ok but not something I'd go out of my way for. and holy crap - $15 for a beer that's not rare or hard to find (or even that good for the style)? WTH? That's almost as bad as the $26 whole foods is charging for goose island bourbon barrel stout! (suggested msrp ~$9).

$15 for a can of Boom Sauce at the bar associated with the brewery? Or are you talking about another beer they sell at Hobo? I like Hobo for their European offerings and the food can be pretty good.

Metro Boston prices suck. There is a Yard House next to Fenway thats really good, food and drink selection.
