Favorite Samuel Adams Style?
 
Sam Adams has become my "go-to" beer on the road when local options aren't available or appealing. Out of their ~20 styles, which is your favorite?

Boston Lager
White Ale
Double Bock
Boston Lager Light
Summer Ale
Oktoberfest
Winter Ale
Old Fezziwig Ale
Cranberry Lambic
Holiday Porter
Cherry Wheat
Cream Stout
Scotch Ale
Black Lager
Brown Ale
Hefeweizen
Pale Ale
Honey Porter
Irish Red

Cherry Wheat is a guilty pleasure of mine, but the Winter Ale probably is my favorite. I was so happy when the CVS next door to my apartment began carrying it (not only is it tasty, but I get 2% cashback on those bad boys!).

Winter Ale or the Brown Ale, I love both equally. ^

While I agree the Winter Ale is tasty, for me the Oktoberfest is #1. Classic Boston Lager is also great though.

Sam Adams is IHMO the best "big label" brewery in the US.

Oktoberfest is my favorite, though that is my favorite style of beer. Out of the styles I've tried, Cherry Wheat is my least favorite.

Black Lager is my favorite. Summer Wheat tried earlier this decade was least favorite.

Boston Lager will always be my favorite. I like trying new beers, but if what I want isn't available, I always fall back on a Sam Adams Boston Lager - preferably draft. I enjoy a Cherry Wheat or Summer Ale on occasion too.

bostone lager is my back up choice... usually I'll order something that should be local... when the server comes back and says... um yeah, we don't have shiner, and I'm um yeah, don't they make it an hour away... Sam always saves the day.

I had no idea there were so many. :eek:

But I like Summer Ale. And I'm curious to try the lambic and see if they can pull it off.

Boston Lager is a great fallback beer. I like the Cream Stout and the Oktoberfest. The summer beers just taste a little 'off' to me.

I was a bit sceptical back when they did their "The big brewers spill more beer than we make all year" campaign ad, but they've really managed to maintain a microbrew quality in a large brewery. I think the Boston Lager is one of the best American beers around. The Winter Lager...it is a lager, BTW, just a dark one, has just enough spiciness to warm me up on a cold night.

Not a big fan of fruit in my beer, but if I were gonna drink one, it would be a more traditional lambic, Lindemans Framboise maybe.

Did their Boston Ale become their "Brown Ale"? I used to like their Boston Ale versus their Lager (which is still decent). Otherwise, their Irish Red or Scotch Red would be my favorite.

White Ale or the regular Boston Lager.

I love the White, makes me think of Hoegarden

Honey Porter and Black Lager.

For those cold Boston days...

Octoberfest, Boston Lager, double bock

Regular Boston Lager and Boston Lager Light. The Light one is the best Light beer I have ever tried and that it got a medal in a German beer contest doesn't surprise me.
