So when the nightmare inflicted on this city finally came to an end last Friday, I could think of nothing more perfect to celebrate than pouring out a bottle from the stash of my beloved Backlash Beer Co’s Salute.įirst of all, Salute is a phenomenal Imperial IPA. Part of why the attacks hurt so much, is because they felt so incredibly personal against things I see as inherently Bostonian. ![]() Out of all the stereotypes this city is known for, I think that is one of the more adequate and beautiful ones. Whenever visitors are in town, that is the place I point to and say “that is our city, this is who we are.” It is a beautiful mix of old and new, of different thoughts and styles coexisting respectfully. Each building is of a very distinct architectural style, but somehow they fit together and complement each other. Standing with your back to the library and facing the square, you see the Hancock Building, Trinity Church and Old South Church. One of the sites I love most is right in front of our library, at Copley Square, close to the finish line of the Boston Marathon, where last week’s attacks took place. Seeing tributes to “my f’ing city” everywhere just motivated me to keep writing about it, showcasing not necessarily the best, but hopefully the “Bostoniest” beers, neighborhoods, bars and people. The fact is, I truly love this town and I hope you will learn to love it too. It is because I think Boston, the city, is special, and I humbly hoped I could transmit a little bit of that emotion through my beer writing. Although this may not be obvious all the time, the reason why I started writing here is not because I love the Boston beer scene and think it is special and you should be aware of it, though I do.
