Sure, a cookbook might be a fun gift for Father’s Day, and you can get a personally signed copy at SAVOR in Washington DC this weekend.  But for the dad who prefers to drink beer instead of cooking with it, consider a set of tickets to the American Craft Beer Festival produced by BeerAdvocate and held at Boston’s beautiful Seaport World Trade Center. As the inspiration for many of the chef interviews and beer combinations featured in the cookbook, I recommend the festival – and the thriving and diverse Boston and Cambridge MA brewpub and tavern scene.  Visit bostonusa.com and cambridge-usa.org for hotels easily accessible by the T.  During the summer, it’s fun to stay near the waterfront – the Boston Logan Hilton is an all new property, very clean and modern, with access to the Seaport via T, and the Charles Hotel on the banks of the River Charles is just a short stroll from the T – and close to some of the best beer-food destinations such as Cambridge Common, Cambridge Brewing Co. and Craigie on Main.
