I was surprised to see how many people here have come to the defense of Sam Adams. It seems like every time I see mention of them here, it's something bad. Sam Adams is my favorite brewery. I'll admit that few of their beers are the best of the given style in my opinion, but it's the variety that has me hooked. They're always trying different things and doing a good job with them, and that's what I like. I also have collector tendencies, so it's made for a heck of a bottle collection.
That being said, there are some beers of theirs that I think are amazing and some that are terrible. I can't stand Cherry Wheat (tastes like cough syrup) or Imperial White (way too sweet and too strong of an alcohol flavor). I love Octoberfest and Double Agent IPL.
