Best of Boston

North East brewmeister Dan Paquette is one to watch, mainly because his Grampus Trippel is one to drink. Served up in a 10-ounce brandy snifter that lets you see its clear amber color and appreciate its aroma, the trippel is fermented with a yeast strain from Belgium’s Westmalle, one of only six Trapist breweries in the world. And while this Belgian-style ale may be the of Paquette’s lot so far, keep an eye on the horizon. He’s churning out brews that no one else in New England—let alone Boston—is concocting.
