One might also consider a brewpub, of which Boston is blessed with eight or ten these days. One might eschew some like Commonwealth because of ambient noise levels, but both Back Bay Brewing (just up the street from the library, across from Prudential Center) and Brew Moon (Stuart & Tremont--theatre district) not only brew and serve *fine* ales but have rather interesting menus and a much nicer ambiance. There are others, of course. "Murphy's stout withdrawal"? <grin> Know what I recommend for THAT symptom in Boston...? A reverential solemn high visitation to The Commonwealth Brewing Company (brewpub) where several *fine* fresh cellar-conditioned ales are always available, drawn by hand-operated beer engines, including a luscious, creamy, black, dry Stout. Those unpersuaded can go directly across the street to Paddy Burke's Irish Pub. <grin> rwyble@erols.com Richard J. Wyble
