Boston Day 1

Next on our New England itinerary was Boston. Since it was raining out (yes, again), we planned to go to the Samuel Adams Brewery on our first afternoon in Boston. The brewery was pretty cool, but according to Justin, sort of a let down. We learned that very little of the beer we drink actually comes from Boston. Only the kegs are produced in Boston, and all the bottles come from Cincy or Philly. The brewery was surprisingly small. I will give them some credit though, they do all of the research and development in Boston, meaning that the wonderful summer ale that I enjoyed all week, was created at the brewery we visited.

Posing with Sam Adams!

After the quick tour, we got down to business - by sampling the beer, of course!


Since the rain had come to a temporary stop, we went to downtown Boston next and walked around Quincy Market and the harbor.


That evening we enjoyed a Irish-themed dinner at The Black Rose. Justin enjoyed the traditional bangers and mash!


And no day would be complete without some ice cream!
