Samuel Adams brewery tour gets national nod. Did Adams himself even brew beer?

  • Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Sam Adams beer has gained a loyal audience over the last 40 years, and now the Boston-based brewery has made in onto the Top 10 list of best brewery tours in the country.

USA Today's Readers' Choice Awards for 2024 includes a number of beer-related categories, including best beer bars, gardens and festivals and best new breweries and labels, with Weymouth's Vitamin Sea Brewing making the latter list.

The Samuel Adams Boston Brewery came in 10th on the list of the best tours, with Tröegs Independent Brewing in Hershey, Pennsylvania, taking top honors.

Samuel Adams Brewery has tours 7 days a week

The company offers several variations of its brewery tours, with options lasting from 30 minutes for the VIP tour to an hour for private tours. Tour prices range from $10 to $45, excluding group rates, which vary according to group size.

The "Sam Signature Tour" is the least expensive of the tours at $10. The 45-minute tour offers a chance for guests to learn about the brewing process and the company's research and development programs. The tour of the brewhouse includes a tasting. Supervised people younger than 21 are allowed on this tour and don't need tickets.

Other tours include "Beyond the Brewhouse," "Keller Crafted: Artisan Beer and Cheese Experience," "VIP Pass Experience" and the private tours.

The tours fill up quickly, according to the company, and can be booked online .

Why did the founder name his company's signature brew after Adams?

According to the Samuel Adams website, CEO Jim Koch , who founded the Boston Beer Co. in 1984, named his beer after the Founding Father "because he shared a similar spirit in leading the fight for independence and the opportunity for all Americans to pursue happiness and follow their dreams."

Koch's family had been in the brewing business for 150 years. Jim Koch broke with that tradition when he left for college.

After college and graduate school, Koch began a career in management consulting, according to the company's website . Koch opened the craft beer company in 1984.

Where did the original Samuel Adams recipe come from?

The first batch of Sam Adams Lager, brewed in Jim Koch's kitchen, used the recipe his great-great-grandfather Louis Koch created.

Did the real Sam Adams brew beer?

Adams was more a maltster than a brewer, according to History.com and other sources . Maltsters prepare and process barley for use in beer-making.

Adams joined his father's malting business around the mid-1700s after a series of bad financial decisions and failed business ventures.

"Within years of inheriting his father’s malt house, the business was bankrupt and the building itself began to crumble," History.com said.

Adams was much more likely a beer consumer than a brewer, since his pre-revolutionary group, the Sons of Liberty, often met in taverns, according to Wikipedia .

Where is the Samuel Adams Boston Brewery?

The brewery is at 30 Germania St. in Jamaica Plain. The parking lot is small and street parking is limited. The Orange Line's Stony Brook Station is about a 5-minute walk away.

How did USA Today come up with its rankings?

To determine which breweries offer the best tour experiences, USA Today asked a panel of beer experts to nominate their top brewery tours across the country. From there, readers voted for their favorites.

adnams distillery tour

Oh dear not a great tour guide was umm not too charismatic . tour a bit boring not great .....The brewery tour much better

We went on the Brewery Tour in 2011, the distillery was already underway but no products to taste. This tour is £3 cheaper than the beer one, but the tour was far better. The tour takes you through the distillery in the main building, our young guide was excellent and had answers to every question, theres lots of stairs involved, some quite steep, we ended up in the basement where many of the whisky barrels are stored, and then we enjoyed an informative tutored tasting. We sampled almost the complete range in small clear plastic cups, you can choose a lesser amount - we were asked if any of us were driving, and we had some water following the vodkas and Gins to clear our pallets before we sampled the Single Malt Whisky, the Absinthe was diluted to an acceptable level. We then were handed our 10% discount vouchers and led to the nearby store. Its a great tour, our guide Jonny was brilliant, informative well humoured a very positive representative for my favourite brand.

adnams brewery tour review

Thank you for a lovely review.

Jonny was an excellent guide with a great sense of humour. His knowledge was very good as he did not have a note to refer to, and he confidently answered the questions we asked. I am not a spirits drinker but that did not matter - to learn about the process and see the barrels stored, before having the opportunity to taste a large number of spirits (gin, whisky, vodka) was great, and I would recommend this to anyone visiting Southwold. We were also given a discount voucher for the shop and of course ended up with a bottle of gin plus some wine so it's a good marketing offer!

Very informative and educational tour led by Nicky. Thoroughly enjoyed learning about the various processes and sampling the superb finished product. The First Rate is exceptional.

Thank you for such a lovely review and your comments about our tour guide Nicky.

We came to the distillery tour but wasn't sure what to expect. Our tour guide Nicky was lovely and very informative and made the whole event a giggle. Once we had finished our tour Nicky took us to the shop where she introduced us to Mandy whom she said would let us sample a range drinks which we had not already sampled ! It was very clear from the onset that Mandy did not want us standing at her work station and totally ignored me and my friend 3 times yet heard a man who wasn't on our tour and gave him his sample !!!!!! I have been told Suffolk folk dislike London /Essex people ! Which since moving to Norfolk we have yet to see whoever pat on the back for Mandy she was utterly rude by making us feel totally unwelcome and unwanted ... she walked away from us twice !!!! Our group spent in excess of £500 at your shop today and feel the whole experience was brilliant and would come back for the brewery tour... just felt let down by the unprofessional approach towards us from Mandy !

adnams brewery tour review

We sincerely apologise for this and the store manager is looking into the matter.

I booked this for a birthday present for my son having really enjoyed my first visit with my husband. We had a tour of the distillery with easy to understand explanations of the process of distilling followed by a session in the laboratory. Sally, our guide, talked us through the many botanicals and we then set to work making our own gin. You watch whilst your very own gin drips slowly from the still. We then went down to the cellar for tasting of the Adnams vodkas, gins and whisky. I thoroughly recommend this experience. It's fun and you come away with a one-off bottle of your own recipe gin. The gin I made on my first visit (guide - Jane) was really interesting and the flavour developed over the following months - it's worth being patient & not drinking it all too quickly. There is the added bonus of 10% off purchases in the Adnams store in Southwold. Excellent value for £70 each.
