Very interesting look inside the brewry. Even though you don't get to see a huge part of their factories, you still get a good idea of how it is made. Plus its a good length...short, sweet, and to the point! The tour, sampling glass, and samples are all free but they do take donations for local charities. Overall great experience!... More

We went over for the Brew House Tour on a Saturday Morning. I had read somewhere that lines were very long on Saturday, so we were there around 9:30 and go into the first tour group of the day. Nothing like drinking at 10am! :) (I'm actually not that big of a drinker, but this was really fun!) In terms... More

I am always torn about my eagerness or dread when it comes to tours. Should the tour guide turn out to be miserable, you could land yourself stuck in the middle of a droning individual's attempt at "guiding" people along; truly, a slow, painful death. But alas! Thank goodness the Sam Adams tour was much different. Let's start with the... More

We visited Sam Adams when we were in town. Great tour with tasting at the end. It is free, they supply a free tasting glass and great samples. You can easily get there by taxi at about 15.00 or by the "T" orange line and walk a couple of blocks. My advice get there for one of the early tours,... More

The brewery tour is terrific if not a little corny. The only problem is they don't really make much of the beer there. However, they do provide plenty of information and allow you to sample all of the beers! My favorite part was the trolley service to Dolly's Restaurant, which was the first to allow Sam Adams to be served... More

Cool tour. Free Glass. Just brewed beer to pour in your glass. And it's all free! Enough said.

First off, the tour is free. That makes it even better. They do ask for donations though. You tour the factory with a friendly guide. At the end you are given a small glass, that you take home w/ you, and you are ushered into a tasting room. There we tasted 3 freshly brewed beers and one test beer that... More

My husband says the tour was the highlight of our 4 day trip! The information during the tour was very interesting. It became quite interesting when the power went out just as we were to go into the tasting room. They improvised by putting votives in the glasses. We were given 7 oz of 3 different beers, then got to... More

Real nice bar with great food and even better beer. The Brew House carries lots of unique beers specially brewed by Sam Adams brewery. Some of the best beers i've tasted, not usually found in other bars. I recommend the San Adams brew house to anyone needing a good pint of your favorite Sam Adams.
