Stu was such a great tour guide! Beer was good and we got to keep the little glasses! You also get a free cup from Doyle's!
Patrick WryeAugust 30, 2013
Stu & Kyle are the best tour guides there are! Eventually they'll have a corner office next to Jim Koch's. Awesome tour & free beer at the end!

I wouldnt sit at back of table for tasting with a big group. Pitcher kept leaving us only half a glass by time it got to us. Otherwise, rest is spot on. & they mail their postcards for free

The tour is free and you get to sample three beers and keep the tasting glass. The tour guide was really funny and entertaining. Lots of fun! Go to Doyle's for food and keep your Sam Adams glass.

Hop on the trolley afterwards and have lunch at Doyle's! pretty good food and you get to keep one one your special Sam Adams glass if you order a Sam on tap and show your hand stamp.
Joshua ShultzJanuary 11, 2014
come here for free beer...you might try three types...but if you sit at the end of the table you'll get much more than three glasses.

Gabe is the best tour guide! Super witty, clever and playful. Had a great time!
Kenneth LOctober 31, 2014
Definitely worth the visit when in Boston, come on weekdays when there isn't as much people, more Free Beer for you!

Such a fun brewery tour. Be sure to board the trolley for Doyle's afterwards, you wont' regret it.
Kim WelcherAugust 15, 2013
Go on the trolley to the restaurant to get a Sam Adams cup! Also the trolley guy gives tours around Boston. It was so much fun!!
Jake SmithNovember 26, 2011
Mail out a postcard for free from the gift shop. Stay near the back of the tour on the third stop (the large steel barrel room) to get a prime seat in the tasting room.
Joshua HaftelJanuary 11, 2015
One of the best brewery tours I've ever been on. The guide did a great job of getting people engaged.
RossSeptember 8, 2014
The free tour is a must-do for any beer lover. Learn about the history of Sam Adams and have some free beer.
Bryce LeafmanJuly 6, 2011
Michael was an excellent tour guide!!! Everyone is saying so and so was funny, but I'd bet that Michael is the funniest! He's witty and thinks on his feet! Really informative too. Try Michael!
KimApril 10, 2011
Take the tour & try the beer for free! Go to Doyle's after for a beer & you get to keep the Sam Adams glass. Don't buy the glasses in the factory store for $8, we found them elsewhere for $2.99.
Brandyn BrosemerAugust 17, 2014
Delicious beer and a fun tour, but be sure to do the Harpoon brewery tour as well!
Janet RidenourSeptember 23, 2017
The tour is GREAT! And the specialty Sour Beer Tasting was fantastic.
Russell CaluriOctober 23, 2019
Fun place and worth a stop but parking is tight. No food but a number of restaurants and Cafes close by

Dan GruzmanSeptember 1, 2015
Can't beat a free tour that culminates in tasters of three different beers by the pitchers
Lewis SmithSeptember 16, 2022
The tour isn't a tour, rather a rushed explanation of brewing followed by a tasting. Nice bar though
Tony ChauDecember 28, 2013
Take the free shuttle to Doyle's to redeem your free glass and order amazing clam chowder in a bread bowl
James CJune 19, 2016
Great tour and tasting especially with seasonal and test beers.
Seth DavisJune 24, 2016
Worth the train/bus ride. Very energetic, quick and fun brew tour.
UntappdSeptember 21, 2012
This is where it all started! Take a tour and try the Boston Brick Red, which is only served in the Tap Room!
Mike SklensMarch 30, 2010
When you go they'll generally give you three different beers. The first two are the Boston Lager and the current Seasonal beer. The third changes and is usually something unique and/or special.
Axel DuarteJuly 13, 2018
Many beers and you have a lot of types to go
Mary HeyerMarch 18, 2016

Keep an eye out for their open houses! They're much more fun (and have more free beer) than the brewery tours.

The tour wasn't very long but they did serve samples of their lager, seasonal, and specialty brews at the end.
