Samuel Adams Beer Is For Mature Beer Drinkers.
For an American beer, Samuel Adams is by far the best. Winning awards domestically and abroad says a lot for this brewery. It is not easy to please the tastebuds of Germans (the masters of beer, in my opinion) yet Samuel Adams has done it time and time again. This is a beer that you can actually enjoy the taste of instead of recklessly guzzling with no care for quality. My reason for the statement. Mature beer drinkers can definitely enjoy this beer with a meal or in a relaxing atmosphere. Www.samueladams.com

I live in the land of Sam Adams and have high respect for it. I'm not surprised it wins so many awards consistently. But the one thing I'll add is I'm not sure there really can be such a thing as best beer. That's kind of like having all the wines compared in a country and somehow having one be number 1 - a subjective and somewhat bogus award. There are so many variations in beer (and wine) and so many subjective factors for taste.

But yeah, I still agree that people who drink Sam Adams are usually appreciating the nuances of beer a little more than someone who just wants to slam a generic weak beer until they're drunk.

 Yes, you are correct. It is subjective of me to consider Sam Adams to be the best beer and I do believe it is the best beer in America...not the world...just America. Out of all the different beers they have, I haven't found any that are bad. Some are better than others but they are all excellent. I think that is quite impressive.

Sam Addams is an excellent brand. Nothing they put out is of less than superb quality. Considering their whole line you may be right in assessing them as the best American beer. However there are a number of brewers in America that have one or two beers that give Sam Addams a run for their money.

What is a mature beer drinker? Just because it wins awards doesn't mean it's good. I hate most movies that win awards. The people that give awards are not common individuals. They have particular standards that do not represent the populations standards. I do recognize that there is guzzle beer and drink beer, you're definitely right about that. For the most part, I don't drink beer for the taste.

 I would think a mature beer drinker references a developed beer palette. No offense but, If you don’t drink beer for the taste then that probably doesn’t include you. Either that or he just means old in which case all that PBR my old man drank blows athlings theory out of the water.

Unfortunately the American brands are of no match to the European grandeur, this cannot be argued, English beer, larger or cider is better than Americas, and Germany's equivalent is better than that, and belgiums is better than Germany's (as a general concept of course not all brands are better, but beer like John Smiths, and Mansfield, Bodlings, all beautiful beautiful beers (unfortunately i don't know German brands i just know they taste good)

 There was a time you would have been correct however as something of a world travelling beer aficionado I can confidently say there are some examples of American made beers that are as well made as any beer in the world. After that it simply becomes a matter of taste.

Men like beer.
Women? No.
Beer is a Man's relaxation beverage of Au de Rigeur.

 This isn't about whether one likes beer or not but rating a specific beer against other beers. Besides I know women who like beer and even some men who like spolied grapes, I mean wine.
