Sam Adams Brewmaster's Collection "Variety Pack"

[flyangler18]

I wasn't terribly impressed with any of the beers in this sampler pack, although the Irish Red and Schwartzbier were enough to give me pause.

At least I got some more bottles!

have been lookign for this...i have been going from liquor store to liqor store and nothing.

I'm tapping my fingers waiting for SA Oktoberfest to come out again. One of the better Oktoberfests I've tasted and it gives me a chance to collect some bottles.

Black Lager is ok, it's a good gateway beer. I give it to BMC drinkers that "don't like dark beer." It has seemed to go over well.

Boston Beer Co. makes some good "almost macro" beers, and I'm not complaining that I can get a SA Boston lager at most any restaurant and bowling alley in the area. Five years ago it was Bud, Bud Light, Miller, Miller Lite, Busch for a selection of draft or bottled beers.

SA light was good when we had it last yr in old btls.
cherry wheat was good last time i remember it.
summer ale in btls was terrible on tap it was good.
winter lager on tap was good.
double bock is just down right nasty. way too much licorice for me or the wife. it might be the 2nd beer to dump i just cant bring my self to finish the 4 btls left in the 6er.

scotch ale is the way to go. The packs are a good way to get bottles- cosco sells a 24 pack of sam adams for around 20 bucks. Let the drinking comence

cherry wheat was good last time i remember it.

someone else on this site said it best when they describes the cherry wheat as something that came from Satan's Anus....

Cherry Wheat is one of the few SA's I regularly drink. Thing is I usually don't have one as the first beer- usually second to one of my stronger brews. Maybe my oppinion is tainted. Kyle

I must be alone in this groups as I like alot of what SA put outs, except for the friut stuff....I don't like any of those. I really love the Scotch Ale!

I love SA. They really hooked me with the whole "seasonal" thing. The only one that stands out that I really didn't like was the Cherry one. Tasted like cough medicine to me.

You're only a few hours from me, and most of the Food Lions around here, and even wal-mart sell the 6-er variety pack. Try publix, there should be tons of those in Atlanta area.

Beer Selection
Boston Lager
Black Lager
Irish Red Ale
Brown Ale
Scotch Ale
Honey Porter

Boston = It's pretty good actually, when fresh.
Black Lager = Okay. Not as Roasty as you'd think
Irish Red = Expected this to be more malt centric
Brown = Sessionable
Scotch Ale = I have had two of these on occasion. If you have the Longshot offering it's pretty good. The other was lacking that Scotch edge, IMO.
Honey Porter = Meh. Pass. The honey malt would have been better in the Brown

The winter version of the SA sampler is out...God I hate their version of a lambic

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

I love the SA Cream Stout. Very good.
The Irish Red is ok...

I live 15 min outside of Boston so most of Sam Adams around here is fresh.
The seasonal stuff...I like the White Ale the best. Very clean, smooth, crisp.
I do like the Octoberfest but have had it so much that its a little old to me.
I do like the Boston Ale.
The Pale Ale is interesting.
The Summer Ale I usually have in late Spring then done by very late spring.

Sam Adams is a great beer company and always will be in my mind.

p.s. Harpoon is another great Boston based brewer.

 

[BrianTheBrewer]

I dont really like the Sam Adams Winter.

 

[CATFISHER74]

I just picked up a 12 pack and has two bottles of BOSTON ALE And two bottles of Boston lager.
Mine must be made after all these because has mentioned a Boston ale.
