"Just because Samuel Adams has a tried-and-true beer portfolio doesn't mean the brewery stops experimenting. Perpetual innovation is how Samuel Adams created one of the world's rarest beers, Utopias, which reached 30% ABV in 2025. While you can luck out and spot Utopias in some stores each year and find other limited Sam Adams releases, though, there's only one place in the entire world where you can experience a range of the brewery's experimental beers - and that's at the brewery itself."
"Samuel Adams Brewery is in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston. People can take tours, where they get to try beers the brewers are testing. Some of those beers may go onto be sold in stores, but some of them will never be made again. To be one of the few people trying a beer that only existed for a short time in one of the world's best breweries gives you fantastic bragging rights."
