Boston is often at the ass end of jokes when compared to other major cities in the states ... but all that's beginning to change. Newly elected mayor Marty Walsh has already issued 75 new liquor licenses as well as extended the weekend night hours of the subway system. This is great news for us closeted degenerates who want to howl at the moon, lifting pints until the early morning. It also means that new watering holes are opening up across the Boston metro area.

"Think there's a beer story here for you?" 

It was a weekday in mid-April, coming up on 9:00 p.m., and I had replied to a press release about a music festival in Oklahoma. I'm not normally in the habit of responding to out-of-state missives (being a Boston Correspondent and all), but the music in question was Hanson (yes, they're still making music). Not only that--they're making beer. 

Rumor has it 80,000 people attended Bonnaroo this year. At times, the Manchester, TN festival grounds felt packed with brightly clothed bodies and flocks of music fans, and at other times (early afternoon or late, late at night) it felt oddly empty. In the past three years, my favorite moments have been polar opposites - joining a sea of thousands at headliner shows such as Paul McCartney, Radiohead, and this year's Elton John performance - or finding myself part of a couple hundred at smaller stages where amazing acts such as the Lone Bellow and Syd Arthur held court.

One of the things that we enjoy about SAVOR, in addition to the beers themselves and the wonderful foods offered to pair with them, are the unique Salon opportunities occurring nightly. These carefully curated Salons allow attendees a quiet respite from the Grand Tasting in the National Building Museum's Great Hall and a private space where they can learn more about brewing techniques and sample "special reserve" beers with some of the industry's masters. So here are just some of the Salons being presented on Friday Night that caught our attention...
