Wow... where has all the christ gone? Alright... I was not all about sam adams, but I'm a brewer part time, and their crazy beers (brews you can only find one in a million on a hot boston afternoon) are all psychotic, and if that weren't enough: I read an article/interview with Jim from sam adams and Sam from dogfish head, and they both were incredible awesome at answering questions (that's all I've got from an interview, I mean... i didn't sit down with them and get trashed myself or anything) so.. my book reads, "Sam Adams: All Right and getting better"

Don't be such a beer snoot, it's fucking beer. I have drank enough beer in my life to be able to say Icehouse is a decent beer for the price. If I put it in some stupid looking bottle and called 'Uncle Franklin's Steel Pants Ale' and had you taste it you'd say 'hey that's not bad'

It's not bad if someone else is buying, but I never have the desire to drink it and will never buy it if given a choice.

In Michigan, you will find:
Budweiser
Labatt's
maybe Michelob
and... Sam Adams.


I've always been rather surprised with the selection at many MI and WI gas stations, but I would rather drink Bud or Michelob than Sam Adams. Labatt's is a toss up. But in Michigan you'd find Canadian as well, so that choice is made.

Sam Adams is a scam for charging micro prices for a shit product. Dozens of brewers in the Midwest make far better beers for the same price.

Now the Boston Ale? That's a decent beer.

Not crap for being a decent beer with excellent distribution.


In Michigan the answer is Bell's, which is pretty good beer.

Sam Adams is alright I guess, pretty low on the list of stuff I would buy at that price though.

in Mass Sam Adams is everywhere. It's alright. the boston lager and whatever they call the really dark beer they have both kinda suck

down here in RI everyones about Narragansetts and could give a raunchy liquid beershit about sam.
