8 best places to grab a brewski in Bean town 🍻

Brews in Boston 

A round trip 8 day route from Boston exploring New Hampshire, Vermont, & Maine. There are lots of stops and scenic sights to enjoy the natural beauty in early fall! This is a moderate paced itinerary which I would recommend spending 

Leaf-peeping has become super popular and lots of the charming boutique B&Bs book out quickly because they are small. A few of the areas book out completely by mid-January. I would book no later than February. 

There are also many foliage maps which will help you determine when is best to plan your trip. It is not an exact science as many things affect the exact timing of "peak" including rain fall, temperature, and more. This is my favorite map for New England: https://newengland.com/foliage/foliage/peak-fall-foliage-map/

The Ultimate New England Fall Ball

Boston, the capital city of Massachusetts, is a vibrant and historic metropolis that effortlessly blends tradition with modernity. Steeped in American history, Boston played a pivotal role in the Revolutionary War, and its cobblestone streets echo tales of the past. Home to prestigious universities like Harvard and MIT, the city is a hub of intellectual and cultural energy.

Visitors can explore iconic landmarks such as the Freedom Trail, which weaves through historic sites like the Old North Church and Paul Revere's House. The Boston Common and Public Garden offer green spaces for relaxation, while the bustling neighborhoods of Beacon Hill and Back Bay showcase charming brownstones and trendy boutiques.

Please note: As I come back and find new places, I’ll be updating this guide.

The Barking Crab

This is one of the most popular spots for seafood in Boston. We ordered the lobster rolls with some great drinks and WOW. We sat in the main restaurant (in the summer they have a patio area as well) and it felt like a rustic fishing shack - a great ambiance to match the meal. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Situated on the waterfront, The Barking Crab is a casual seafood shack that offers a great selection of beers. It's a fantastic spot to enjoy a cold brew while taking in views of the harbor. Don't forget to indulge in their delicious seafood dishes.

Located on Boston’s historic Fort Point Channel at the gateway to the Seaport District, The Barking Crab has become one of the city’s best-loved meeting and eating spots.
