Does Sam Adams believe that they are brewing quality beer?

They've acquired some macro trends that kind of suck, but some of their beers are still excellent, IMO.

Example...?

[shafnutz05]

Their cream stout is outstanding

Their Utopias is supposed to be incredible, although I've never had it

Dopplebock also great

[count2infinity]

they do have some good ones. Noble Pils is decent. Their Boston Lager is not bad for a lager (I don't like lagers very much). Their small batch stuff has all been pretty good.

[MRandall25]

Noted. May need to try them in the future.

None of the good ones -and i'll take your word on that - ever appear in their variety packs.

stay away from their cherry wheat. tastes like cough syrup.

[MRandall25]

I just assume any beer with cherry (I've seen a Bells Cherry Stout or something) is going to be bad.

I don't remember Alchemy Hour being quite as grapefruity as Chill wave, but I could be wrong. Regardless, good brew and a 4 pack was only $8.99 at Kroger.

The Chillwave is incredibly smooth for a 9.4. Very comparable to the dirtwolf.

Is this the same as the alchemy hour from last year, just a different name (copyright issue with the previous name I think)

Did you try the 2xone?

Had the same question. I really liked alchemy hour last year.

I always refer to everything they put out as 'how Sam Adams does...' whatever trendy style is out there. They do lager well, but they don't do enough lager-styles anymore.

It's excellent when used in a black and tan

[count2infinity]

but it's red...

[slappybrown]

Regular old Sam Adams is the best beer they make by a good bit IMO.

[stopper40]

but it's red...

No it's not

[count2infinity]

but it's red...

No it's not

oh man... I just googled it. i must be thinking of some other cherry wheat I've had before. I've been bad mouthing Sam Adams Cherry Wheat this whole time. I sampled a cherry wheat at a bar once that was bright red and tasted like cough syrup. I thought it was Sam Adams. Guess not. Oh well.

Nonetheless, Sam Adams Cherry Wheat does taste like cough syrup and is awful.

[Eismann]

Berkshire coffee porter. Very good.

I'm having one of these from Asheville:



Maybe MWB has tried it? Does he still post here?

Stopped at my Market District to get some Ommegang Abbey Ale. As I was checking out, the clerk told me they were getting Fire and Blood, the Game of Thrones themed beer. In store next week.

Might have to try it.

Looks like KBS is being released next week. I'm supposed to get a call from this place in Philly when they get their shipment, but my phone number being randomly scribbled into a notebook leaves me with a little bit of doubt that it'll happen.

RTBG said he may be able to score me a bottle. One.

[the wicked child]

Really want to try that Fire and Blood ale.

He does every now and then.
I have tried it. I like it pretty well. Highlands is decent. Not my favorite, but certainly not bad at all.

[the wicked child]

Sam Adams Cold Snap is decent. Would never buy a case but refreshing.

stringer bell would describe sam adams beers as a 40 degree day
