In New England as a twenty something year old it is hard to get away with Coors Light or Bud Light any longer without enduring substantial harassment from your friends of the hipster mentality. These tried and true favorites just don't cut it for the judgemental out there. Although I have a special place in my heart for Rolling Rock and Miller Low-Life's there is a time and a place for everything and the time for these classics is in it's twilight.
So where do you go from there? Craft brews, limited editions, small-town breweries are everywhere. 80% of the time you are paying for a bottle, or a name, or simply a price; so how do you sift through the bullshit and start buying local for taste. It's a daunting task.
These are five of my favorites from around the Seacoast, and other various New England spots. Try them for yourself.
