Rustic Saison

Not quite the normal run-of-the-mill Sam Adams beer in that it is not really a mainstream variety.

Not great but interesting. Compared to a real saison, this is dirt cheap.

Summer Ale

Good 'ole American wheat. Nothing too special but a poundable decent beer.

East-West Kolsch

Aged on a bed of jasmine flowers? They totally bastardized the style.

Never been much of a Sam Adams fan but their draft Oktoberfest isn't half bad.

I'll pass on their flowery kolsch as well.........hope to be downing some more of that Gaffel kolsch in Tampa this fall.You and Johan up for round 2???

This is a Pub about 5 mins from my house.

Check out the beer list.

They also have 13 Taps that they call "Rotator Taps".Which are changed almost daily with beer from Micro Breweries from around the world.These beers aren't listed on the site.

The food is also great.

If they only allowed cigars I'd likely live there,Heck,my old lady loves the place.

They have $1.00 PBR night on tuesdays just for fun.

Maybe..................but I assure you nothing with jasmine flower in it even remotely resembles a real kolsch.I don't even know why they would call it a kolsch........oh yea Americans will drink any old crap.Anheuser-Busch proved that years ago.

Was gonna have a beer here in Birmingham.......all they had was bud light,bud,coors light and miller light.I'll pass til I find something that resembles real beer.

Sams is a very good, consistent beer.

I don't know why some folks bash them. Even if you don't like their flavor profiles, they helped introduce microbrews to the masses, and have helped us non-brewers understand new varietals and such.

Their Latitude 48 (IPA) when it first came out (as part of a summer variety 12 pack) was phenominal. They changed it up slightly when the put it into 6 packs, but it's still good.

Then I got their Latitude 48 DECONSTRUCTION.

It takes the standard IPA that has 5 different hops, and it isolates each hop individually to give you a taste of how each one performs.

It's pure genius.

I think that cigar manufacturers could learn a lot from them.

Had me a Centennial Founders IPA last night. Really good...the IPA's are starting to grow on me, even with all their hoppiness. I hadn't eaten dinner yet, and the IPA was kicking in quick. I probably should've stopped there, but I decided to go with some other ale, another micro-type brew...I forget what it was called, but it was good. 🍺

Sam Adams: Black lager + cream stout + oak aged porter + chocolate bock = 👍 🍺

I like the sam adams beers. but after my brief trip to cheddar land last week I am now longing again for some of the tasty treats of the new glaurus brewery. Love me some fat squirrel.
