    Noble Pils

    I agree with TCJ0100, I like several of their beers, but for some reason they cost more than Sierra Nevada, New Glarus, etc.. so I don't buy all that often(although I did have a Boston Lager during the game last night).

    I feel like this thread has appeared before and I keep getting the heebeegeebees of Sam Adams employees wanting to "know":

    Now that I've been exposed to such a craft, I won't drink Samuel Adams if it's free. How do you buy this? I just bring a 12oz beer from my cellar to the bar or party and don't say anything about it. I dont know how I ever drank a pint of anything so watery, in so many flavors.

    If Samuel Adams should survive and want's to contend with the craze, in this instance, put out a more reasonable Utopias in a 12oz every year for the trolls like me; give me a Utopias @ 10-13%ABV or something and quit freaking out when your garbage isn't on tap at every brewery in Bostonia.

    I haven't had many Samuel Adams beers because of the lack of availability where I live (New Brunswick, Canada) but my favourite three are:

    1. Boston Lager
    2. Latitude 48 IPA
    3. Octoberfest

    I find both Boston Lager and Latitude 48 to be decent beers that I find myself buying from time to time. I know a lot of you guys/gals hate on Samuel Adams but I find most of their beers worthy of a second try. Octoberfest is my absolute favourite from Sam Adams but I have yet to see it in New Brunswick. I was down in Portland, Maine this summer and picked myself up a six pack to bring home. I knew I should've bought more when I had the chance!
