I have folks in town that will stop by and grab me these types of releases, but it's a total pain in the ass if that's all I'm going to town for. Perennial and 4 Hands are also top notch and you might actually have a decent chance of grabbing some nice stuff to go in their respective tap rooms.
I also highly recommend Civil Life and Heavy Riff. Civil Life brews the best damn brown ale in the whole world (in my humble opinion) and their tap room is a blast. Kid friendly with decent food. Heavy Riff is in the same area (Manchester corridor) and their food is excellent, plus they also have my next favorite browns (and favorite brown ale variant) the Velvet Underbrown beers. They do a version with coffee and vanilla that is f**king unreal.

That's great info. Thanks, man. I don't know that I'll have multiple days available, but sounds like it would be worth it if I did.
