- I confess that I don't find Sam Adams Lager particularly exciting
- either, but it's a good quality Pilsener, probably one of the best brewed
- in the U.S.. And given how much abuse the term 'Pilsener' takes (Miller
- Lite calls itself a Pilsener, for example), they deserve credit for
- producing a beer worthy of the Pilsener designation. I tend to prefer the
- Boston Ale (or some of Sam Adams seasonal brews, like the Winter Lager or
- the Double Bock) myself.

- One positive development, though. In New England, many restaurants now
- offer Sam Adams as their 'Premium' beer, whereas until a few years ago,
- they thought they were doing customers a big favor by offering Michelob
- or Heineken. And _that's_ a big step up.
