But this 120 is battery acid and you can only drink one and your down for the night.. lol |

I can personally attest to the fact that their Holiday Porter this year was great (although junk like that Cranberry Lambic made me want to jump out a window) considering it was mass-produced. Not only that, the "Longshot" beers they release that are the result of a home brew competition are always fantastic (mostly because they aren't SA's recipe, I suppose). But heck, the first thing I do to convert people over to better beer is to tell them to drink a variety pack by either Harpoon or Sam Adams and tell me what they like. So yes, Sam Adams cherry wheat is a mediocre beer, however, people who think that it is a good beer are at least onto something...they've realized that there's more out there than mass-market Lite beers, even though they have no clue what truly good beer is. It's our responsibility, the people like us who know about good beer, to educate people like that. This stuff only spreads by word of mouth after all...nobody goes onto the internet looking for good beer. I think I've given away about a 6-pack worth of Two Hearted Ale bottles but the people I've given them to are now going to our local specialty store for beer rather than the supermarket. |
