Boston - Day 4

After another morning of work, we headed into Cambridge for some walking and culture. After walking around a bunch of old houses, we walked through Harvard. We checked out the Peabody Museum and saw lots of Native American stuff. We then perused the amazing glass flowers and plants in the Natural history museum.
The rest of the day and evcning.was spent visiting various drinking establishments:
The Tavern - a little sterile, but decent selection of craft beers from across the US.
The Plough & Stars - awesome dive bar with good beer, bartender, and music
Sunset Bar & Grill - huge, huge selection of beer and food. The beer was from just about everywhere in the world, but not too many local micros. The food wasn't great, but better than expected for bar food.
Miracle of Science - their food menu is written up like the periodic table, but their menu isn't. Beer selection is limited, but locals are included.
Beers:
Newport Storm Hurricane Amber Ale - easy drinking, malty, bready
Sea Dog Blueberry Ale - like a liquid Blueberry muffin.
