Local Beer Tasting!


Downtown Wine and Spirits in Davis Square has one of the largest selections of beer, bar none!  Given Andrew's deep love of beer, it's been a quest to find the best local beers while we are living in Somerville.  He and his dad, Alan, had a tasting this summer to find their favorite local IPA.  They tasted approximately 10 beers from Maine to Delaware, and threw in a California favorite as a control (Bear Republic's Racer 5).  Although Racer 5 will always be the favorite, a new "local" choice from Delaware is Dogfish Head 90-Minute IPA, which came in a close second.  

Recently, Downtown Wine and Spirits offered a tasting of Blue Hill India Pale Ale from Canton, MA, the brewery's first bottle!  It's an excellent local IPA that rivals all other local choices.  Andrew even got a free glass with a purchase of a 6-pack.
