Sam Adams is TERRIBLE, with the possible exception of their Winter Lager.
<<<>>> Wait, wait while I’m not a HUGE fan of Sam Adams line of beers I cannot let your post without comment. SA is pretty much availible anywhere in the states on draft which is 200 times better than any other large commercials stuff like Bud, Miller, Coors, etc. Their Boston Lager is actually a high quality product for the style so I can understand your attitude *if* you’re just not a European Lager fan. While I prefer mostly German and Belgian offerings, I still find their porter, Chocolate Stout and Summer/Winter Ale to be top shelve in their respective categories. Jim Koch is a huge advocate of home-brewers and gives a lot of his time and money to promote and encourage home brewing. For that, if I’m somewhere that doesn’t serve one of my commerical favorites I’ll order a Sam Adams. Now, I will tell you that their Cherry Lambic is horrid and frankly I’ve tasted new home-brewer’s lambics that were better. Too me, that is not even a Lambic because it tastes like they used a common wheat beer and threw sweetened cherry juice in it prior to bottling.
