Tour is donation only, you get to taste 3 beers, and keep the glass. Go to Doyles afterward and ride the troll -Quiet the experience!!

Excellent tap room worth checking out

Sometimes the tour gets a bit dry. You could say I gave the yeast amount of f*cks possible about ingredients.
Diego RodriguezDecember 30, 2014
The tour is tons of fun and very informative.
Edward DavisJune 17, 2013
Great tour. Lots of fun and some pretty good beer.

Tours are free. The trolley to Doyle's is the way to go post-tour!
Manny CabralAugust 18, 2015
They don't sell production beer! That is, you can't buy a case of beer, just growlers.

A FREE tour with three FREE beers at the end. A donation isn’t mandatory, but would only make sense in return for such generosity.
IFCJuly 6, 2011
Take a fun and informative tour through the Samuel Adams Brewery. Plus free beer is part of the tour.
Randy TravellerOctober 1, 2013
Do not drink from the pitcher unless you want to be kicked out... And the excuse, "good to the last drop" isn't a valid reason either. Oops :)

Josh is amazing! And go to Doyles! Ruben... Best I ever had. Onion rings, to die for!
Zara FarrarOctober 25, 2014
Great tour and even better beer.
Jill RMay 16, 2011
Stand towards the back when they are explaining the brewing process. It means you get into the tasting room first. (via Scoville) Read more

Show up early on Saturdays or during the summer and you won't have to wait as long for your tour. Also taking the T is mich easier don't drive.

The freshest Boston Lager you can find in the city. Make sure to hit up Doyle's after.

A great bar for after work gathering.
Sofia UzMarch 2, 2016
Cool Boston experience when you're in the area, but probably not worth a trip otherwise
Peter MulhollandMarch 30, 2015
At the end of the tour, sit in the front of the tasting line.

You can get the illusive "Red Sam Adams" here
