That's cool, and you have every right to your opinion.... but, a company that makes shitty beer wold not have numerous medals in every serious beer competition that exists. The proof that they don't suck is in their accolades and medels given to them by their peers in the beer world.

Here's the real reason articulated why I won't drink Sam Adams rather then give my token answer. Right now in Philly they have a really good microbrew scene going. I purchased a Philadelphia Brewing Company sampler on July 11th. The date it was bottled was on the 24th of June. In addition to it being fresh as hell I'm supporting a local small business which is a big deal to me.

meltdown haha

Are you going to try and tell us Sam Adams isn't good beer? If thats the case, I think you might be one of those micro heads that refuses to drink anything unless it's unknown to the masses, whether it's good or not.

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.

absolutely.

and sam adams deserves TONS of credit for basically bringing craft beer back. their efforts have made it possible for both american microbrews and importers to make a business out of quality beer.

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?

what i'm getting at is that awards are not really much to go by. lots of beers have won awards. miller lite and pabst have been coated with awards, doesn't mean anything. i'd rather check out beeradvocate and see what the guys there think. they aren't all beer snobs, by and large they're damn fair and i usually agree with the consensus (though certainly not always).

hurley's doin' great, haha. i made sure to buy an AC unit so he can keep cool. he just lays around most of the time though. and every time i go outside he follows because he wants to ride in the car. seriously, he's like my little partner in crime, lol

What is that stuff you got there? That looks pretty good. Does it taste like Samuel Smith? I have never seen it here in the states before.

I drink one beer a week in the offseason for taste and because alcohol is good for your system. Not everyone is a drunkard. I enjoy the taste as well. Sometimes i have a glass of wine.

leafy i was refering to this clown

Have fun wasting away the best years of your life..... A few beers won't kill you, and you aint no bodybuilder. Go out and have a little fun on the weekends, your two young to be worried about a few hundred extra cals from beer. If you work hard in the gym, drinking a six pack with some chicks on the weekends, isn't going to alter your physique.

oh and alcohol is not good for your system,
and if your a natural you shouldnt stay away from it like the plague

Plenty of studies to back up the benefits of 1-14 drinks a week and working out. It is great for the body. Just don't over do it. Everything in moderation.

There is nothing wrong with drinking beer. Live a little and have fun. However, I understand you are a "hardcore bodybuilder," and have no time for that. ::)

i live and have fun everyday of my life. its sad that you consider "living" drinking alcohol. you must not have much social courage or bravery to act the way you want to act ? thats okay its failry common.  the first step is you must ADMIT you have these problems. then just come to terms with whatever insecurities you may have.... understand you have insecurities, understand that yoru not the only one who has them... and learn that most people are too caught up checking themownselves out to ever really take much notice of you anayway.  :)

Did I say "living was drinking alcohol?" ::)

Calm down. This is only a message board on the internet.

I think having a drink on the weekends is okay, but doing it regularly really does fuck with your system.

Most beers are filtered so it's not like you can get the supposed benefit of the grains. And 1-2 drinks a day can easily become 3-5+, which isn't good at all. From that point on you'll pretty much be frying your liver, slowing down the growth of cells in your brain, forcing water out of your body everyday.

It's amazing how light society's attitude towards alcohol is just because it's legal and taxed.. lol Not that I'm against alcohol or anything it's just that I think weed is a lot better and safer and there's no risk of serious addiction and withdrawl.

like Leafy said, do it in moderation and it really is great stuff.

We have Hoegaarden (pronounced WHO-gaarden) on tap year round...White beers are becoming more and more popular as they are very refreshing and easy to drink...another good one is Manekin Pis (the tap handle is of the statue, too ;D).
