Locavore Travels


A road trip to Boston--and the pleasure of watching the Celts dispose of the Cavs--expanded my locavore eligibility. Loyal reader Jeff and I selected Boston Beer Works as the venue for our pre-game beer consumption.

I first tried a seasonal offering: their Saison Nouveau. It had little to no carbonation and featured a flavor I couldn't identify (indicating that I need to sample many more beers) and didn't particularly care for.

I switched to the Back Bay IPA. I thought it was delicious. But I wasn't sure. So I ordered and drank another one. Yes. It's a very good beer. I ordered one more, and it could've perhaps been called gratuitous except that it was useful in washing down my meatloaf.
