2. I wouldn't go THAT far

Hundreds of microbreweries fare far better than Sam Adams.... but between the 2 I listed, no contest.

My favorite Sam Adams variety is the Cream Stout.

16. great stuff

It's really dark and thick, and one of the ingredients is, yes, maple syrup. The alcohol content is around 18%.

There's a bar around these parts that carries about 200 different beers, including the Triple Bock. I've only found it once anywhere else, the last bottle left at a liquor store. It sells for $5-10 for an eight-ounce bottle.

The Sam Adams website says "one bottle should generously serve two to three" but I can never find anyone else who really likes the stuff, so it ends up being all me.

4. LOL...

I live Texas, where microbreweries hardly exist. We have shinerbock, which is decent, and celis, which is decent... but we certainly don't have the great beer selection that is available in the NE.

Look... anything but Miller, Coors and Bud is good to me... dark, nutty and stout... 'tis what I like.

8. Hasn't been for years...

...sold off to Miller, I think, maybe Stroh's...I forget. Anyway, the brand is back out there, but it's owned by a macrobrewery.

14. I used to work down the road from the old Celis Brewery.

Seeing it empty used to bum me out. Now it's a printing company, I think.

11. Sam Adams beer comes from St. Louis

Edited on Tue Oct-26-04 10:58 PM by Sandpiper

The brand originally began with only one variety, Samuel Adams Boston Lager. The recipe for this beer was originally developed in Saint Louis, Missouri by Louis Koch in 1860 and sold under the name Louis Koch Lager until Prohibition, and again until the early 1950s.<[br />
