Description

Our passion for never settling, and brewing quality, flavorful beers started with our founder, Jim Koch. He brewed the first batch of Boston Lager in his kitchen – a recipe that belonged to his great great grandfather that he found in his father’s attic back in the early 1980’s. The Boston Beer Company has grown through the years to become the fourth largest brewery in the United States.

Initially, Koch rented excess capacity and brewed the beer at the Pittsburgh Brewing Company. As sales increased Koch developed other contract arrangements at various brewing facilities with excess capacity. To reduce reliance on contract brewing Cincinnati's Hudepohl-Schoenling brewery was purchased in early 1997).

In 2007, the Boston Beer Company purchased the former F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company brewery in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. By 2012, the Company was producing two-thirds of all its beer at the Breinigsville facility, and it has increased brewing capacity there. The Boston Beer Company also has a small R&D brewery located in Boston (Jamaica Plain), Massachusetts, where public tours and beer tastings are offered.

Absolutely hideous. Easily the worst weiss I have ever had. Tastes like syrup mixed with low quality beer.

Bottle. Pours well with a decent head. Not a bad brew at all. A little spicy with a cinnamon aroma

Doesn’t look like much…dull brown. No head. Sticky, mapley, sugars and alcohol. This was such a groundbreaking beer…it’s hard to conceptualize and I had Millenium. Molasses and oak. Refined, fuck. Awesome.

Old rating from 2013 - 355ml bottle from the National Brewery Museum in Burton upon Trent. Poured at home in Jersey. It's copper colour with a thin white head. Aromas & tastes of citrus, toffee, raisins, grain, toast, hints of spice & malt. Medium body. Medium sweet finish. Highly enjoyable

Mrf33n3y (6651) ticked Kosmic Sour from Samuel Adams 10 months ago

Faintly tart, no discernible flavor, quite beer-y. An underwhelming sour at best, and certainly not a wild ale.

This gets worse and worse as it goes on. Real Madrid with another great escape, this time vs Real Sociedad.

Reubs (35480) ticked Triple Bock (1997) from Samuel Adams 11 months ago

Malm� July tasting - proper piece of history here, dark sweet malty with deep sweet molasses and dried fruit, some soy sauce, full bodied, sweet port and sherry infused warming spiced lingering finish, surprisingly still in great condition for the age.

Bottle. I was very disappointed. Nice color but thats where it ends. Smell, not much. Taste, again, not much. Overall, skip it. There are much better porters out there.

Bottle. I love this beer. Wonderful aroma. Taste does have a cherry taste but it is not overpowering. Great summer time beer.
