Abitafan (or others)

Heading to Boston for work in October. Will be staying near the Convention Center/Seaport. I know Trillium has a location in that area but any other breweries in that part of town?

Also which ones are worth an Uber ride to check out? Will have 5 nights so plenty of time to drink.

Finally, any way to get to a Treehouse location without renting a car? Really want to make it out there but don’t want the added expense.

Thanks and I’ll buy you a beer while I’m in town to say thanks.

As you said, Trillium is in the Seaport. You’ll also be near Harpoon which is a good spot - get the pretzel and thank me later.

If you can get out to Cambridge, Lamplighter is worth the trip. The Owls Nest on the Esplanade may be closed by October, but it’s run by Nightshift and a great spot.

In Somerville, you’ve got Aeronaut, and if you don’t mind taking the ride to Braintree, Widowmaker is great as well.

Definitely not. You’ll have to rent a car or spend a lot on an Uber if you want to go to any Treehouse location. The closest option would be their newest location in Tewksbury - they bought a golf course and turned the old clubhouse into a brewery. But that’s a good 25ish miles each way.

There are a lot of breweries in the area so if you come across others of interest I’d be happy to give my 2 cents on them, but the ones I listed are a great jumping off point.

Note: do not waste your time going to Sam Adams.

I agree, Lamplighter is decent and you can tween it in with a visit to Harvard and/or MIT. There's also good eats close by, either on foot or a modest Uber ride.

I don't recommend going to Tewksbury just for Treehouse.

Is Lord Hobo not a good option anymore?

Lord Hobo is a solid choice as well. I honestly just haven’t been in years so I forget about it.

Thanks for the recs, was looking at Vitamin Sea in Cambridge as well since I’ll probably end up there at some point and Long Live which looks like it just opened in Roxbury.

Sucks about Treehouse but I’ll probably be back in town in a few months and will have a car then.
