Kelly ChildressApril 4, 2015I wouldnt sit at back of table for tasting with a big group. Pitcher kept leaving us only half a glass by time it got to us.

Jake SmithNovember 26, 2011Mail out a postcard for free from the gift shop. Stay near the back of the tour on the third stop (the large steel barrel room) to get a prime seat in the tasting room.
SusanOctober 19, 2013Gabe is the best tour guide! Super witty, clever and playful. Had a great time!

Jason LeibowitzJuly 1, 2016Such a fun brewery tour. Be sure to board the trolley for Doyle's afterwards, you wont' regret it.
Kim WelcherAugust 15, 2013Go on the trolley to the restaurant to get a Sam Adams cup! Also the trolley guy gives tours around Boston. It was so much fun!!- Joshua ShultzJanuary 11, 2014come here for free beer...you might try three types...but if you sit at the end of the table you'll get much more than three glasses.
NicoleMay 24, 2014FREE tour, FREE beer tasting (get to taste 3 different beers), & FREE tasting glass. Tours last about an hour
Joshua HaftelJanuary 11, 2015One of the best brewery tours I've ever been on. The guide did a great job of getting people engaged.- RossSeptember 8, 2014The free tour is a must-do for any beer lover. Learn about the history of Sam Adams and have some free beer.
Bryce LeafmanJuly 6, 2011Michael was an excellent tour guide!!! Everyone is saying so and so was funny, but I'd bet that Michael is the funniest! He's witty and thinks on his feet! Really informative too. Try Michael!
Brandyn BrosemerAugust 17, 2014Delicious beer and a fun tour, but be sure to do the Harpoon brewery tour as well!
KimApril 10, 2011Take the tour & try the beer for free! Go to Doyle's after for a beer & you get to keep the Sam Adams glass. Don't buy the glasses in the factory store for $8, we found them elsewhere for $2.99.
Russell CaluriOctober 23, 2019Fun place and worth a stop but parking is tight. No food but a number of restaurants and Cafes close by
Janet RidenourSeptember 23, 2017The tour is GREAT! And the specialty Sour Beer Tasting was fantastic.
Go on a brewery tour to learn all about the beer making process. Oh, and to sample!
Jessica PanditFebruary 25, 2013Dave is an awesome tour guide!!! Loved the tour, loved the beer and got to try a new test pale ale that was delicious!
Dan GruzmanSeptember 1, 2015Can't beat a free tour that culminates in tasters of three different beers by the pitchers
Tony ChauDecember 28, 2013Take the free shuttle to Doyle's to redeem your free glass and order amazing clam chowder in a bread bowl
Lewis SmithSeptember 16, 2022The tour isn't a tour, rather a rushed explanation of brewing followed by a tasting. Nice bar though
UntappdSeptember 21, 2012This is where it all started! Take a tour and try the Boston Brick Red, which is only served in the Tap Room!
Jamie HouseAugust 9, 2011A must-do in Boston. Outstanding tour and a decent helping of their best beers. Even got to try my favorite: Octoberfest.
Mike SklensMarch 30, 2010When you go they'll generally give you three different beers. The first two are the Boston Lager and the current Seasonal beer. The third changes and is usually something unique and/or special.
Kaitlynn AndersonJanuary 22, 2015A great free (with donation) place to bring out-of-town friends visiting.
Michele Kociolek-BurkittJune 22, 2014Nice informative tour and beer at the end what more could you ask for!

Tim NoetzelJuly 9, 2012Keep an eye out for their open houses! They're much more fun (and have more free beer) than the brewery tours.
Ronnie PJune 15, 2018The tour wasn't very long but they did serve samples of their lager, seasonal, and specialty brews at the end.
