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.- Lorenzo MarreroSeptember 22, 2013Awesome 1 hour free tour. Tasted Boston Lager, Octktoberfest, and IPA Lager / Ale.
Rob WawrzynczakAugust 26, 2017Morning mash tour was quick and fun. Sampled some different styles and specials that never leave the brewery!
Jason LeibowitzJuly 1, 2016Such a fun brewery tour. Be sure to board the trolley for Doyle's afterwards, you wont' regret it.
NicoleMay 24, 2014FREE tour, FREE beer tasting (get to taste 3 different beers), & FREE tasting glass. Tours last about an hour- Cherry OceanJuly 6, 2015Love the summer ale, but don't let an underage drinker shut down your favorite brewery. Try cell phone spy today to monitor a teen's mobile phone.

SusanOctober 19, 2013Gabe is the best tour guide! Super witty, clever and playful. Had a great time!
Lewis SmithSeptember 16, 2022The tour isn't a tour, rather a rushed explanation of brewing followed by a tasting. Nice bar though
Russell CaluriOctober 23, 2019Fun place and worth a stop but parking is tight. No food but a number of restaurants and Cafes close by
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!
Patrick WryeAugust 30, 2013Stu & Kyle are the best tour guides there are! Eventually they'll have a corner office next to Jim Koch's. Awesome tour & free beer at the end!

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.
