To every employee who produces Sam Adams, I thank you. With today being just before Memorial Day, we figured it would be a great time to visit the brewery in Boston. Although my location says Virginia Beach, we also have a home in Rockland, MA, a short distance away from Samual's place. Unlike other tours I have endured, this was... More

This was very interesting to see how beer in made and how they make the different varieties. They provide a few samples at the end. Not really for children. They will be bored and may not even be allowed in. If you are interested in seeing how your beer is made, I highly recommend. More

Its a fun place to visit, but I miss the old days when it was just a couple of guys taking you around the place, then a picnic table with a pitcher of lager. Way more commerical, crowded now. The lager is still great. Could they just stop with the fancy pants beer with ingredients that are an abomination to... More

Take the T, it's easy. Take the outbound train to Stony Brook & follow the signs down Armory. Great people working here with a great product. This is basically a $5 trip with T fare & donation to charity Sam Adams requests for just about all the beer you can drink. More

At first, we weren't sure if the cab ride out to the Brewery would be worth it - but it definitely was! It really was only a 10-15 minute cab ride and definitely worth our time. To start, it's FREE. And you get three nice sized tastings of Sam Adams' best brews. Plus, the tour was thorough yet not too... More

The tour was short but very informative. Also it is for free but they recommend a donation. You get to taste beer for free. It's a good way to spend 1-2 hours. More

Most informative brewery I've ever been too. Very interesting. Of course the beer was super tasty. Free 3 beers where we got to keep the glass. We also got to rate a new beer that Sam Adams is working on. More
