A Samuel Adams Octoberfest would go nicely in that mug.

Drank some of my homebrew last night and it was gooooood.

I hope you brought enough to share with everybody.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Anyone else make their own brews?

[kook_10 1,705]

I've done some simple Mr. Beer brews before which came out well. I have a new 5 gal setup I have yet to try out, but have a batch of European Double Bock to make when I do.

I have brewed 3 beers, an imperial stout, a double ipa, and a belgian IPA (which came out best)

What's the worst beer you've ever had? I'd have to think about that one.

MGD is one of the foulest non malt liquors I've had. Natural Ice too.

Been brewing for a couple years now. Right now I have an American Pale Ale in my kegerator (drinking a glass of it right now) and a bottled a hard cider a few weeks ago.

Miller Lite. I'll drink just about anything, Bud Lite, Natty Lite, PBR, High Life, etc before Miller Lite.

And here I am, about to crack one open. No lie.

never try these:

Buffalo Bill's Orange Blossom Cream Ale - sickness

Kronenbourg 1664 - bottled toilet water

Tiger Beer - s***ty water

Wittekerke Rose - tastes like artificial sweetener

Boddingtons Pub Ale - wateriest beer of all time, tasteless

Blue Moon - pure syrup

the worst though it Potro, a Mexican beer reminiscent of feces.

here is a list of all the beers ive tried from worst to best:

Very impressive.

I've had every Samuel Adams on your list, as well as all of the mainstreams and such. Wish I could get my hands on afew of those that you had.

A Samuel Adams Octoberfest sounds great.

Where can you find Pliny around Michigan?

You can't. You would have to order it online. Distribution is very limited.

Does it live up to its title of one of the world's top beers?

Without a doubt. If you are a fan of IPA's this is one you cannot pass up.

[Hockeytown0001 7,652]

Have you reviewed it on BeerAdvocate?

[wingfan13 44]

Have you reviewed it on BeerAdvocate?

I personally have not. If I had more I would send you one to try but I am down to my last bottle.

[jollymania 162]

The best thing to do is go on beer advocate and trade for a bottle or two. MAKE SURE IT IS FRESH, like no older than a month old.

No worries

My BeerAdvocate review for Samuel Adams Boston Lager -

(A=appearance, S=smell, T=taste, M=mouthfeel, D=drinkability)

Poured from a 12oz bottle into my Samuel Adams Perfect Pint Glass.

A: Beautiful golden amber color - great, fluffy head that lingers for quite a while. Plenty of nice lacing on the glass. I've heard that you're able to float a coin on top of the head, but didn't give it a shot.

S: Breathed in a fantastic aroma. The large amount of hops used is clearly present in the scent, nice floral and citrus notes are also present.

T: Amazing. Perfect balance of hops and malt. Full flavored with a hint of citrus note. Just the right amount of bitterness. Rich and complex - a truly fantastic experience for your palate. Like the commercial says, "Try a Sam Adams and know that's what beer is supposed to taste like." It's not hard to see why it won Best Beer in America less than a year after Jim Koch re-discovered the recipe.

M: Medium-bodied, very well rounded and smooth. Moderate amount of carbonation, finishes very clean.

D: Fantastic drinkability, and incredibly refreshing. You'll want to have another, it certainly isn't hard to drink a few of these.

Forget Budweiser - Boston Lager is the Great American Lager, and Samuel Adams is the King of Beers. If ever there were perfection in a bottle, this would be it. Thank you Jim Koch for venturing into your attic that fateful day back in 1984.
