    Hello All!

    I'm a college senior who, along with my three roommates, am trying as many craft beers as I can before my undergrad is over (I'll be running every day...). However, my go to beer is Samuel Adams, which I will visiting in October! So in honor of Fall Beer Season, I will post my Samuel Adams Flight of choice (going with the mindset of early September).

    #1: Octoberfest
    #2: Porch Rocker
    #3: White Lantern
    #4: Boston Ale

    Let me know what you think and share your own!

    In no particular order

    1) Cream Stout

    2) Boston Ale

    3) Noble Pils

    4) And yes, Boston Lager. I feel they've always done a spectacular job with this one, and it's often overlooked for obvious reasons. It's ESPECIALLY delicious at the brewery, enjoy it while you're there!

    No love for Old Fezziwig Ale?!? I'm shocked.

    I don't know how anyone could enjoy Porch Rocker, probably the worst SA I have ever had. To each his own I guess.

    I'm not a particular fan of SA--their introduction of Double Agent IPL shortly after Jack's Abby started enjoying widespread success with Hoponius Union irritated me tremendously, and my go-to local breweries tend to be Harpoon and the aforementioned JA anyway--but they do make a handful of beers that I've enjoyed:

    1. Utopias
    2. Old Fezziwig
    3. Latitude 48-Zeus (from the Deconstructed mix pack some years ago)
    4. New World Tripel

    I'll do it, but isn't a top 4 a little random. Why not a top 5?

    1. Octoberfest
    2. Boston Lager
    3. Cream Stout
    4. Double Bock
    5 for good measure would have to be Tetravis. I also have some Triple bock coming in the mail so this could change.
