Brewing the good stuff since 1820, this is one of the oldest breweries in North America. Now part of a complex of shops, bars, gift stores and the Courtyard Marriott Hotel, it's a popular stop for beer nuts, with an informative tour, ale-inspired yarns and plenty of suds on tap. Note that you'll need your ID.
