Hello Massachusettians!

[Canuckistanian]

Is that right? How do you call yourselves?

At any rate, I'm here in your lovely state for 3 days. In Westford, no less.

I would appreciate a guide to a great beer halls in the area.

Thanks!

1. It's a chain restaurant, so it won't have that 'local charm',

but they just opened a British beer Company on Rte.110. Pretty good atmosphere, and lots of beers to choose from. I don't know if you have transportation, but if so, you can head to Lowell and check out the Dubliner, or the Brewery. Not much of a beer drinker myself, so that's the best I got for you.
Enjoy your stay!
P.S. We don't really call ourselves much of anything (probably to many syllables) but we are sometimes referred to as 'Massholes' - I assume it's meant with love and affection, especially when we drive.

5. Thanks

I'm sort of stuck here at the moment at a hotel - they say there's no cab service here. I'll have to rent a car.

8. I'm a fan of IPAs in general but Harpoon's UFO is way better

tasting anyway. Probably worse in the calories department since it's a wheat beer.
