Samuel Adams Noble Pils is Now Available in Stores
Posted by Justin Thorp in Beers on February 5th, 2010
This afternoon, on the way home from work, I ducked into the local liquor store in my neighborhood and we pleasantly surprised to find a new Samuel Adams beer that I had never seen before. It’s the Samuel Adams Noble Pils. It’s obviously a pilsner.
Samuel Adams Noble Pils is the Boston Brewing Company’s brand new spring seasonal. It replaced the Samuel Adams White Ale. The Noble Pils is made with the 5 noble hop varieties.
It’s a light, easy drinking, and really delicious beer. If you can find it, I’d recommend giving it a try.

Boston’s Beer Culture
Posted by Justin Thorp in Beers, Travel on February 5th, 2010
When I was in Boston a couple of weeks ago, I definitely stopped by my share of neighborhood pubs, bars, and restaurants. It seemed like each one had a pretty decent baseline choice of beer on tap or in bottles.
At the very least, every bar has Sam Adams or Harpoon (the locals) on tap.
When I talked to Boston folks, I was really impressed with the level that beer is a part of the culinary culture of Boston. It’s just everywhere.
It’s very different than DC. You could go into DC bars that just have Coors Light and only in bottle. It was funny telling this to Bostonians. They responded like I was coming from a third world country.
So… yeah. Boston is great for beer.
