Free Beer at the Samuel Adams Brewery Tour in Boston

After travelling the USA, we were surprised to find the states brew a very good craft beer. During our visit to Boston, Massachusetts, we couldn’t miss out on tasting one of our favourite beers in the very place where it is made. What makes the Samuel Adams Brewery Tour unmissable (if you’re a beer fan) is the price, it is completely free. The brewery do ask for a small non-mandatory donation of $2 towards a local charity.

What’s pouring behind the scenes?

The history of Samuel Adams

Beer, beer and more beer, but how is it all made? The brewery is based in Jamacia Plain in Boston and throughout the tour you are given a generous 1.5 pints of different beers in total. It’s enough to tip you to the other side of sober. The Jamaica Plain brew house starts the production of every single Sam Adams beer in the whole world.
That’s a whole lot of beer for a small brewery, and it really is smaller than you would imagine. The Samuel Adams staff are very knowledgeable on the beer making processes, be sure to ask as many questions as you wish.

Mighty fine smelling hops

Sam Adams use copious amounts of hops to make their Boston Lager and IPAs, you are able to scoop up your own hops, open up the flowers and rub them in your hands to warm them up. Take a good sniff or even a taste if you’re adventurous enough. The hops have a distinctively fragrant scent that made us want to run to the nearest bar to order an IPA.
