Delicious Sam Adams Beer
 

we have had beer threads on here before, and rather then just bump and old one, i decided to make a new one.

i went to boston 2 weeks ago and we took a tour of the sam adams brewery. so my buddy george told me to pick him up this 3 pack they sell at the gift shop.

has anyone ever had it? they are all delicious. my buddy told me to pick up a few to sell on ebay. i bought 4. one for me, one for him and 2 for ebay. i already sold 1 and made a nice profit. they are only sold at the sam adams brewery in boston. you are only allowed 1 per person due to the fact that people sell them on ebay, so i had to have my other friends that i was with buy 1 each for me.

What type of beers are they? Damn was just in Boston yesterday to pick someone up from the airport. Definitely want to try these!

MMMMMM Beer! :drool:

American Kriek - black cherry beer. reminds me of cherry wheat but lighter. 7% abv
New World Tripel - belgian ale. like a hefeweizen. my 2nd favorite. 10% abv
Stony Brook Red - like nothing you have every tasted before. it is delicious. my favorite. 9% abv.

ryan, just go to the gift shop and buy one. they're $30. i sold my first one on ebay for $76 + s&h

the only thing I love about Boston is Sam Adam's.

One of my favorite all time beers was their original Oktoberfest. The beer has changed a bit when they relabled it and changed it to Octoberfest.

Any chance you can include a pack with the door cards? :LOL:

lol this 2nd ebay auction is over tomm morning. 0 bids, but 3 watchers. i have it posted for $60 same as the 1st one i sold last week. i'd let it go for $50 to metro if it doesnt sell on ebay.

the 1st one had 2 bidders, 5 bids and several watchers. it sold for $76. i dont know why this one is moving yet. we'll see what happens tomm morning. i may have to relist it.

Damn. Getting thirsty thinking of them lol. Next time I am there I will try to pick up a set of them. Only allowed 1 set per person you said though right? Will suck if I really like one of them and can't have more!

Oh so tempting!!! If I have any extra cash from my crawl tonight I will take the second if it doesnt sell at auction. I will be a hit a the next 234 bbq with this!

well ryan, you may be able to buy 2. i went up there and said can i have 4. the guy looked at me and said what? i said can i have 4 please. he said its only 1 per person. i asked why? he said people sell them on ebay. i said i want to give them to friends as presents. :LOL: then he said well i need you to at least show me four bodies, so i called over my 3 friends, then i charged them all on my card, so i guess its not a strictly enforced policy.

they also sell the bottles individually for $10 each, so you can just buy 1 flavor. not sure of the limits on those, but im guessing its 1 or 2 as well.


any beer drinker will love these. they are delicious. ill let you know tomm if they sell or not, henry. im guessing they will, but you never know.

^^ thanks dude.

Np man. Hit me up tomm and enjoy your fri night out.

Nice find Barry, when I did the tour they didnt have any beer to buy, I was looking forward to getting something special too.

I had to repost it on ebay.

my next mission is sam adams utopias. $150/bottle and released every 2 yrs. 27% alcohol.

you drink it like whiskey and its barreled in old liquor barrels.

:surprised:

Is it Whiskey? Blend or single?

This is fancy.

Let's turn this into a beer thread. God do I love beer.

Magic Hat #9 is my go to crutch!

we had a beer thread a while ago i know. andy and val were frequent posters.

lol its beer, but you drink it like whiskey.

i'm a big hoegaarden fan. i like heifenweizens.

With one cube? A splash of soda? Neat? However neat would just be like drinking any beer :confused:

I would love to taste a 150 bottle beer.

lol it comes with a small glass to drink it out of. you dont drink 12 oz at a time. just a little bit in a glass. my friend bought a bottle 2 yrs ago and said it was good, but not worth $150.

you're supposed to drink it at room tempature too.

Well in Europe they drink beer room temp. The ice cold beer thing is American if im not mistaken.

Are you just big on Beers or all kinds of booze?


I would kill for this ..

yea warm beer is a british thing. i am more of a beer guy then liquor guy.

Almost time for some B's!

same on boston hatorade.
sam adams and my boston terrier are the only things I like from there.

feenin for some SA cherry wheat.

Cherry Wheat is the best for me. :drool:

So Barry, Next time you make a thread put S2000 in it all over the place so it stays in the main forum. like i was driving my s2000 to boston and got on ebay after browsing s2000 parts... bla bla bla...

anyway... yeah i love SAM. i credit Jim Koch wioth brining good beer to the masses, you can get a SAM just about anyplace even if the place is full of the macro brew garbage.

I head to Boston often, my favorite city and we provide systems for SAM here at work. The red you got was a limited time thing that they did make local to bars and puns in Boston so i had one on my last trip - good stuff!

How does Ebay let you sell beer????? how do they or you know that the other person is over 21?? Wierd.

All of you beer lovers should stop into breweries and take the tours, you can learn a lot, get a free sample and the gift stores are chocked full of interesting beers that you can't get your hands on through your regular store. :alcy:

andy, you are thinking about boston brick red, which is only offered in bars in boston. it is only made in kegs. i had it while i was there and it is delicious.

as far as selling it on ebay, it is sold as a collectable bottle and not for the contents inside. ;)

i legally can not sell beer because i dont have a liquor license. it doesnt matter if the person is over 21, i can still get in trouble. selling it for the bottle and not the liquor, is a nice little legal loophole that is exploited on ebay.

I love you too :LOL:

yeah that was it Barry. cool!

the barrel room collection is now available in stores. i picked up the 2 flavors released in nj. there is 1 new flavor, thirteenth hour.

ive had the utopia, phenomenal .. only for special occasions :thumbup:

Barry if you like those you might consider exploring some special, rare offerings from Dogfish Head, Stone, Victory, and Ommegang. Sam is good by any measure but as you delve into the world of craft beer, some of the offerings from these other craft breweries put them to bed. :thumbup:

Mine too. Did you try the new seasonal limited edition "Blind Faith" ?? :drool:

sounds good to me. ill have to pick a few of those up.

:bump:

since this thread was made i have had several selections from dogfish head and ommegang.
