Boston Beer Works location information here and here.
Meet us in front of Building 149 to catch the 6:15pm shuttle bus (it leaves on time!).
If you miss us, we are taking the MGH/Navy Yard shuttle to North Station. From there, cross the street to get to Canal Street.
Boston Beer Works will be down that street, on your right. (Shuttles depart every 15 minutes up until 7:15pm and every half hour after that).
