Hoppy, malty, ale, lager? Is it all Greek to you? Or do you like to try the funky drafts at the hip beer bars in Allston, but wish you could "talk the beer talk?" Look no further, we have the course for you. Joe Connolly, manager at our Watertown store, is taking his expertise westbound to the culinary center and is set on enlightening our beer palates and minds.
