But I guess I'll have to give it a try when I'm in Boston next spring for CBC.

Why? Not because of the ambiance, which I think the late Mr. Jackson would have described as "studenty," but because despite their frankly ridiculous number of taps, I've never been poured a dud beer or seen anyone else poured one. And as DT notes, the Sunset always spoils a person for choice. I’ve visited the Sunset a few times, Jay, and will likely be back when I return to Boston this Labor Day weekend. Why?

I can't think of another bar in Boston where one can walk in and have a choice of a few different sour beers, or the latest offerings from Southern Tier, or any number of the local New England breweries. I can't remember if they have Westmalle, but St. Bernardus 12 is there. Service isn't always the best when sitting and eating, but I've never had an issue with not finding a beer I haven't tried before. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1058/ More flag stuff, while not beer related, about 25 minutes away from Sunset is the Bedford flag – the oldest complete flag known in the United States.
