The short name for
Samuel Adams (
no one ever calls it by its
full name), a
beer brewed in
Boston, MA. One of the
best beers around. Not much of it is
brewed relative to other beers, such as
Budweiser,
Miller, or
Coors. In fact, at the time of this writing, they only brew
approx. 1.2 million barrels of Sam Adams a year, compared to Miller's 49.5 million. Sam Adams is also relatively
expensive. The taste is
exceptional, however, as well as the high
alcohol content.
