Default beer in Boston

So my trip to Boston is next week. Per your recommendations a few months
back, I'll be hitting:

Anam Cara Publick House in Brookline
Bulowski's downtown
Redbones in Somerville

Here's hoping they have all the brews, food, and ambiance I'm dying for.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions a while back, though I was seeking a
hotel at the time I decided to stay with a friend instead.

I'm also trying Ethiopian food for my first time, at www.addisredsea.com...
anyone tried either of these two beers (which they serve and sound fairly
interesting!)?

Ommegang Belgian Style Abbey Ale
and
Tusker Kenyan Lager

TIA!

A Few more tips on the places that you're going to ...

* If you hit Bukowski's (Boston) in the evening, show up earlier as the
place is small and can often get packed quickly - especially with all of the
students coming back into to town. And don't ask them to turn the music down
.... they'll just turn it up and probably shout with excitement. And if you
show up in the during the week before 8pm, ask for the buck burger (add
mashed or fries and cheese for another couple of bucks).

* When you hit RedBones, see if UnderBones (the downstairs) is open. It's a
different, darker vibe. You can get all the same beers, too. More he

* Anam Cara ... is just awesome. Try grabbing the table in the "Dug Out" or
sit at the massive social table.

Enjoy our great city!

Cheers!

Try one or more of the brewpubs, too. Boston Beer Works, either across
from Fenway or near North Station. The Fenway location is the first,
and better one. Also Cambridge Brewing in Kendall Square, Cambridge.
