Boston day 2 - Saturday

Kim didn't have work on Saturday, but we still woke up early to get our Boston adventures going!

First stop, Sam Adams brewery! And yes mom, we went at 10am and that's early to start drinking, but we were told the tour always gets sold out and we needed to get their early.
The tour was similar to many of the breweries I've been to. Interestingly, this location was solely for research and their commercial beer is actually made in PA now. 
Those are some hops in my hand. Naturally the best part of the tour was the sampling at the end. They had just released octoberfest beer so we had that, their Boston lager, and a new variety that is a limited edition
Overall, a very cool brewery and it was fun seeing a bigger brewery, since most of the tours I've gone on are small craft ones
As you can see, we were both decked out in our Phillies and penn state clothes, since both teams were paying that day. And wouldn't you know it, the Phillies were playing in Boston! So our next stop was Fenway park 
Sadly, the Phillies were massacred 9-2 and played horribly, but we still had fun and Fenway is one of my favorite stadiums 
For someone that gets easily bored by baseball, I sure have been going to a lot of games lately...

After the game we were exhausted, and went to grab dinner at the Boston Market. The best part was dessert, a maple bacon donut 

Then we relived our college days a bit, with a Netflix night in.
