I think I have given up on Sam Adams. It's not worth finding one good beer in a variety pack and having to drink 5 mediocre ones.
Good bye Samuel it's been bitter sweet.

I bought a sixer of Latitude 48 IPA just the other day. I had tried it at a brewfest up here a year ago, and remembered it as a balanced IPA. Obviously I was too shnockered to taste anything, as I am having to work through these beers.

I found the Lat 48 to be less than inspiring myself, honestly I forgot I had even bought a 6 about 9 months to a year ago... I don't remember hating it, but I am sure I never did more than one bottle at a go
I've got a Thirteenth Hour in my fridge. Has anyone tried that one yet? I had stopped at a good sized packie looking for a couple of research beers, but they mostly had wine. The SA on the checkout counter seemed the most promising beer in the store. I'm trying to find good examples of styles I'd like to brew, so if anyone's got a review, I'd appreciate the info.
Jim Koch did a lot to bring back craft brewing in the US. I still pay respect by enjoying plenty of Sam Adams. The brand was born and is still mostly made in Cincinnati, which I appreciate as well.
I picked up the IPA pack they just put out, don't remember the name of it, but I haven't been too impressed. Grumpy Monk is awesome, but the others aren't all that memorable. They need to put out Grumpy Monk by itself.
Wondering if anyone has tried the Norse Legend? A coworker gave me one, but i've been unable to try it yet, i'll report back when I can.

cyclogenesis said:Best thing about Sam Adams is I can reliably get it at airports, hotel lobbies etc around the USA.. It is my fall back beer.
Ditto.
They are not my favorite brewery, but I can get one at whatever random place I'm in. I say it's the best widely available beer
+1 I really liked it. First beer I've tried with juniper berries and really piqued my interest.
