And this was after four days of sampling the best of Vermont beers (Rock Art, McNeils, Zero Gravity etc etc)Adrian Tierney-Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05421802854011395300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6521229482537361840.post-15941021174164321252010-07-20T09:40:37.630-04:002010-07-20T09:40:37.630-04:00Al, you and Dan make some good points regarding Sa...Al, you and Dan make some good points regarding Sam Adams. One of the best beer and food pairings I've experienced is a Boston Lager with pizza. Simple, but delicious, as a Vienna-style lager has so much character to match all that cheesy goodness.<br /><br />At any rate, keep an eye out for Cigar City and also Saint Somewhere Brewing out of Tarpon Springs. Good luck!E.S.

But whether or not a beer is "craft" is more subjective and depends on how the beer is made. In my mind, I'm not sure if you can call Sam Adams a craft brewery simply because they brew on the scale they do, however, for that scale they come damn close. They serve an important niche for the craft drinker as well, in that they introduce new beer drinkers to the movement and as you're experiencing now, they guarantee that no matter where you go in the US, there will always be something quality available to drink. <br /><br />As for the area you're in... check out Abbey in Deland... lots of taps and recently they've had Cigar City on, so they may have more of them now or other Florida breweries. abbeydeland.com. <br /><br />I love the new(ish) background, BTW. And I'm almost done with my Fuggled backlog. Hooray!Dan Kachurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089439567241077226noreply@blogger.com
