jonnothejambo Posted September 23, 2017 Anyone recommend a decent beer in Boston, please ? If there actually is one that is. Thanks in advance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamhammer Posted September 23, 2017 I like a light beer and had a belter in California last year. Lightswitch I think it was called. Had a really nice Blonde beer in the Innis and Gunn boozer last weekend. Can't remember what it was called though cos I got nuggets on Red Stripe after it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yabadabadoo1874again Posted September 23, 2017 Quite happy to drink Carling in any UK pub unless they sell Wheat beer, Erdinger whilst not the best is about the easiest to find nowadays, even Stratties sell it. Prefer Franzizkaner or even Hoe but the best I've ever tasted was Hamster beer (Koranwolf) from Holland. Tesco Bathgate had it for a wee while and I bought 3 bottles every week for 4 weeks then it vanished which makes me think they shipped in a crate of 12 and it was only me buying it Hamster wheat bier ...remember majestic used to sell this over ten years ago...loved it...great stuff...!!!

Hugh Phamism Posted September 25, 2017 Anyone recommend a decent beer in Boston, please ? If there actually is one that is. Thanks in advance. Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Lightly hopped, amber coloured Kolsch style at around 5% abv. IMO, probably the best of the American 'craft' beers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Notts1874 Posted September 25, 2017 You should be able to find stuff from this American craft brewer even though they are a Californian brewery. Very nice indeed. http://www.stonebrewing.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jambo-Jimbo Posted September 25, 2017 Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Lightly hopped, amber coloured Kolsch style at around 5% abv. IMO, probably the best of the American 'craft' beers. Quite liked the Samuel Adams Honey Porter, don't know if it's still on the market nowadays. I have a bottle of Samuel Adams Triple Bock 1995 Vintage (yes I've had it since then and it's still unopened) it was about 17% when bottled back in 1995.

Hugh Phamism Posted September 25, 2017 Did a Brewery Tour at Sam Adams a couple of years back. Some really tasty beers which are not as widely distributed as the Boston Lager. Tour is free, but book ahead. It's in South Boston area of Jamaica Plain/Forest Hills and is near the metro line. You can get a free shuttle trolley from the brewery to nearby Doyles pub, which is a good old fashioned bar to spend a few hours in, and then the metro back to the city centre.

The Old Tolbooth Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) I always maintained that the U.K. could not produce a decent lager, but we were bloody excellent at ales, until I stumbled across St Mungos lager in Glasgow on a weekend away with the wife, and I love it! My favourite lagers outside of that are Estrella and Tiger My favourite ales are Tanglefoot and Doombar I also love a Guinness or ten Edited September 26, 2017 by johnmitchell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacPhee Posted September 26, 2017 Mostly lagers i drink . Dont mind a bit of innes and gunn original or rum casked. They done this Seasonal flavour one year it was Canadian oak aged (something like that) was absolutely amazing. If you have ever been to Habaneros in Musselburgh they sell this fantastic Mexican lager called Pacifico, highly recommend if you like a smooth lager. They sell it in Tesco Musselburgh now as well.

Jamdub Posted September 26, 2017 Paolozzi from the Edinburgh Beer Factory is pretty good as well. Had a couple of pints of this last week, very impressed.
