- I always enjoy visiting the Samuel Adams Brewery with its informative tour. After the tour, sampling the beer is the best part but going to the restaurant afterwards is not enjoyable.
- Yuanwen LSeptember 5, 2014Nothin beats free beer. Protip: sit at the ends of the long tables. People pour and pass the pitchers down. So if you sit at the end you get the remainder of the pitcher to yourself.
- Mariana R. M.May 27, 2013Don't miss the free beer and free tasting glass! Be nice and leave tips if you enjoy the tour. And more important, do get a ride with the (free) trolley to Doyle's, it's so much fun!!
- Daniel ReichertMarch 29, 2015One of the best brewery tours I've been on. Very educational. Novice craft beer adventurers would greatly benefit from this tour to learn about beer and tasting it.
