Tons of great breweries in South End, just a quick train ride from the condo. Jump on the Light Rail and get off somewhere around New Bern Street. My favorite places are Suffolk Punch, Lenny Boy, Sugar Creek, and Triple C. Sycamore Brewing is great if you like to hang out outside and pet lots of dogs!
