Sam Adams open house March 13th

The open house and the tour are very different things. Haven't done the tour in years, but you basically show up, get a guided tour of the brewery, and get 3 7-oz beer samples. Usually Boston Lager, the current seasonal, and 3rd wildcard beer, often an unreleased beer.

The open house is something you have to register for. It's generally an after-work scene for locals. Registration usually fills up pretty quickly. You generally get 3-4 samples, last time there was a cask beer, plus some food from a local vendor. There's no guided tour, it's very informal. You just wander around the brewery sippin free beer. If your able to get in I recommend it over the tour.

 

Where? Its been closed for days now

 

I think he means how did you register for it? Registration closed days ago. Did you call the brewery?

 

Gotcha, yea for the Sam St Pats open house on the website now it still says sold out. I know there is another even open on a Tuesday.

 

The Sam Adams open house events are pretty cool, they usually have something interesting on tap. I used to go almost every month because I live down the street but they have been "sold out" in mere minutes lately.

If you want a good shop near Sam Adams I suggest Streetcar. Very nice and craft-only selection. Bauer Wine and Spirits is worth a stop near Mcgreevy's.
