Samuel Adams Boston Lager

Pros: Widely available, very drinkable fresh beer.
Cons: None come to mind.

No, Jim Koch, founder of the Boston Beer Company that makes the Samuel Adams line of beers, has not decided to run for president. Though it is true that the fledgling democracy in the Russian Republic has (or had) a beer drinker's party, I have yet to ...

Pros: highly flavorful, smooth drinkability, pleasant taste to just about anyone
Cons: none for me

I can’t remember the first time I tried Samuel Adams Boston Lager. It was probably in New Hampshire during one of the summer vacations I used to take with my cousins by Lake Winnepesaukee. I was always the adventurous one, trying new things. ...

Pros: Complements a Wide Variety of Foods
Cons: Bud Lovers had Better Look Elsewhere

Boston Lager is the flagship brand in the Samuel Adams family of beers. It is a bottom- fermented lager, similar to other mass- produced beers like Budweiser and Miller. Any other similarities between Sam Adams Boston Lager and American style lager ...

Pros: Robust and hearty
Cons: Quite expensive

American lagers are not my first choice of beers. However, Samuel Adams Boston Lager, while n ...

Pros: A brilliantly satisfying yet refeshing lager that goes well with any meal.
Cons: Are you kidding? None at all!

Samuel Adams Boston Lager is without a shadow of a doubt, in my humble opinion, the best beer out there "bar" none ( what a brilliant unintended pun ). I have been a big fan of Samuel Adams since my college days and it is always my beverage of ...

Pros: Great beer with great history and taste.
Cons: Hard to find a really good fresh pint.

I like watching people tasting wine – it seems like a magic ritual of some kind. Why don’t we do the same with beers? Is it that our American culture rests on Bud and Miller Light and we can’t really tell the difference between the two? In ...

Pros: A fine lager with hearty flavor.
Cons: None - a beer this good should cost something.

Exactly one week ago, I was a guest at a wedding reception.  It was a chilly and snowy Friday evening in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.  Following the wedding mass, I headed to Olivetti's restaurant, a fine Italian-American establishment in ...

Pros: A Reinheitsgebot beer made from quality ingredients
Cons: some retailers do not police their shelves well and you may get an old bottle

Except in rare cases when I bought beer that was not fresh, I have never been disappointed by Sam Adams’ products. There really is not excuse for buying stale beer, because Sam Adams publishes a “consume by date” on its beer labels. Unfortunately, they...

Pros: Available in the UK!
Cons: Took me a long time to try it...

Or maybe a Brit's take on an American beer...

I'm an ale or stout drinker, I like a full fairly rich beer and don't like anything to gassy. Lager in the UK is pretty much almost flavourless but with a slight chemical hint to it, and is...

Pros: Great taste, full of body, get you drunk eventually
Cons: a slight bitter afterbite..need to brush your teeth if your gonna be kissing!

I want to start by answering one of the points to consider in writing this review, so I can stop laughing. Where can you purchase this beer? You can start with the supermarket and if all else fails, try the thing called a liquor store. Usually works well...

Pros: Very nice lager hoppiness, clean, and almost ubiquitous.
Cons: Not as good on the west coast as on the east, somewhat fragile.

Bear with me. I'm going to take you on a trip through my heaven, to the pits of hell, and introduce you to the angel that fed me cool water by the fires.

I started drinking better beer in 1981, on Holy Thursday. I was lucky. In...

Pros: Availability, reliable, refreshing
Cons: Overpriced for domestic, many imports available at similar price

Samuel Adams is a classic example of the decline and revival of the American microbrewing industry. Initially the brewery ran through five generations of the German-American Koch family before closing in 1956. It wasn’t until 1985 that the next...

Pros: Great beer, Goes with any kind of meal
Cons: Nothing

Samuel Adams Boston Lager is a great tasty beer. It makes a great party beer and no one can say they do not like it. It is one of the premium beers in my house and everyone else knows not to dare drink it or else they will face some serious...

Pros: Much higher quality than the average lager; beer with bite.
Cons: Some might find it too harsh; a bit expensive.

I’m an ale man, so whenever I see the word “lager” I tend to roll my eyes. This is a type of beer style associated with mass-produced, watered-down brews that give American beer a bad name. Thankfully, Samuel Adams Boston Lager is ...

Pros: Very hoppy, complex brew. This special lager is bursting with flavor.
Cons: Perhaps too bitter for some. You pay for the quality.

I worked in a factory two summers ago, and often I and the fellas I worked with would pass the time discussing different beers that we enjoyed. One of my co-workers told me that his all-time favorite beer was Samuel Adams. Seeing as how I had never...
