Near you in Boston
Boston scatters its breweries from the ballpark to the harbour, so the nearest fresh pint depends on where you start. Fenway and the Seaport hold the taprooms near the water and the park. Downtown Crossing keeps the central brewpub.
Everett and Allston anchor the edges, one a destination brewery, the other a long-tap beer hall. Brookline rounds out the west with the city's deepest craft list. Each pick below is the top-rated room in its pocket, so choose by where you already are.
