i've had just about every beer sam adams makes. with the exception of the cream stout and the light lager (which is damn refreshing on a summer day), i find them horridly overrated. don't care how many awards they've won, as a guy who's had probably 400 separate beers over the years, i'm just not impressed. nothing stuck with me.
remember, pabst blue ribbon won best american premium lager in the 2007 world beer cup, along with a host of others. just because it's won awards doesn't mean a lot. every bottle of sam adams could be capped off with a medal it won, and i'd still call it bland.
Thats cool, just making a point here. Saying that you are going to ignore every major beer title Sam had won shows you are not unbiased with your assessment of a beer company. How can you ignore how Sam Adams beers have won so many awards, at so many beer competitions - ( judged by their peers) in the beer world? You may find the beer bland, but the people who judge beers within the industry have awarded Sam Adam beers with important awards. Who cares if Pabst won a competition, maybe they had the best beer on that day. I think that further drives home my point of you basing your beers on fashion, and not results. Not to mention, Sam has won a SLEW of awards, so it's not like there beers are one hit wonders.
I'm not trying to question your opinion. If you don't like Sam Adams thats totally cool ( different pallets like different beers), but to say they don't make good beer ( like you did in your first post I responded to), is ludicrous.
Thats like me claiming BWM doesent make good cars. I may prefer mercedes, or lexus, but BMW sure as hell dont make a shitty car. On a side note, hows Hurley? He looked cool as hell in your first pics you posted. Is he hating the summer heat?
