Tour of Sam Adams-Boston

During a recent trip to Boston, for the marathon, I was able to tour the Boston Sam Adams brewery. In previous trips I have attempted to visit, but they had bad hours. This year they added Tuesday tours, which worked out well. I told myself the tour was a reward for the race on Monday. I enjoyed the tour and the sampling of beer. The brewery is in Jamaican Plain, which is south of downtown Boston. Luckily there is a T-subway stop within walking distance. As we walked into the facility we noticed the wonderful smell of wort. I wonder if they can bottle that smell and pump it into the tours, when a beer is not being made. After the tour we tried fresh samples of Sam Adams Boston Lager, Summer Ale and an experimental Irish Red Ale. In the gift shop I picked up one of the new Boston Lager glasses! Oh and for what it is worth, the Cincinnati Sam Adams brewery makes over half of the beer for the company. The Boston location doesn't have the ability to bottle beer. Below are some pics.
