i sell sam adams at my bar, decent beer, sell quite a bit but by far not one of the best beers i've tasted. not even talking Canadian beer but not near the best. for the record,
i hate Canadian, Blue, Coors or any big name Canadian companies. There's a ton of micro breweries out of the states i love, a few Canadian too but Sam adams isn't even comparable to some small micros in the states. Liberty Ale is much more tolerable, for example.
