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.

You say wet hop; we say green hop--but whatever you call it, beers brewed with freshly picked, undried hops cause a stir on both sides of the Atlantic.

We blame the industry for this... It used to be that when we wrapped up our Weekend Picks on Friday, we could coast through the weekend. There was little need to check in for updates - things were pretty much done. But clearly all that's changed.
