OUR FAVORITE BOSTON-AREA BEER BARS

For those of us who view happy hour as a hops adventure, Boston blissfully offers some fabulous beer bars. You could go months, maybe years without making it through the extensive draft and bottle lists at these local pubs and bars. Not that we know from personal experience, of course.
