The Energon Pub

Ok today is my 21st birthday and i was wondering if Samuel Adams beer was any good???? If so which kind?????

If I have to drink beer I go for Coors Light. Sam Adams is way too strong for my liking.

Sam Adams is pretty good.
I like Bass Ale.
Your 21 though go to a bar and get some real liquor.
I prefer to do shots of Beef Eater. Your bartender will look at you funny though as gin isn't usually consumed that way.
Wisconsin has some pretty good micro brews. See if you can find some Grey's, most any of those are good. Only way to really find out is to get about 8 different 6packs(bottles)and have a go at them.
Coors is o.k. but it's kinda High School and stay away from High Life. That's almost as juvenile as the Beast.
Being 21 I'm sure this won't be your first drink but now you can stand around in the liquor store and not worry about being thrown out.

Jose Cuervo. That's all I have to say.

I can't really recommend anything in the way of beer. I've never been fond of any kind of beer, just something about the taste that irks me. But if you're going for something light your first time out, maybe try a Smirnoff Ice or Mike's Hard Lemonade.

Miller Lite all the way!

Or for varitity try Lienenkugles Honeyweiss ro Cherryweise. Heiniken ain't to bad either.

Just stay away from the Buds, they're bloody awful.

A good shot to try would be a Freight Train... half jeager and half ammereto, jeager on the bottom.

Sam Adams is pretty strong..
I used to drink Michelob Dry.. If they still brew Mic Dry give that a shot.

I'm not a beer drinker, but I did try a Sam Adams once and it was okay, since it is stronger than other beers. Don't remember what type it was.

Captain Morgan, Jack Daniels, and 1800 is what I stick to.

In general, I don't like alcohol... but I love Sam Adams.

Agreed. When I drink beer I only drink SA..


My new fav drink is Capain Morgan and Cherry coke.

Jack Daniel's. Straight up man.

Actually I'm not much of a beer drinker, or much of a drinker at all, but I do like Guiness.

Sam Adams is an awesome beer, but it might be a little strong if you're not used to drinking alcohol.

I personally have a weakness for Corona extra with lime, Sapporo, and Warsteiner.

Mixed drinks? You can't go wrong with Jack and Coke or Captain Morgan and Coke. I also appreciate a strong bourbon by itself.

Not too much of a wine drinker, though. I do drink Beringer occasionally.

And happy birthday, by the way.

My favorite beers (top 5):

5) Sam Adams
4) Newcastle
3) Killian's Irish Red
2) Red Stripe
1) Honey Brown

Well, Sam Adam's is always a good decision.

Sam Adams
Sam Adams Light
Sam Adams Summer Ale
Sam Adams Octoberfest
Sam Adams Winter Ale

The best Sam Adam's is probably Winter Ale. Maybe Black if you really want to drink real beer.

Oh, and when you go to the bar, ask if they'll give you a Screaming Purple Jesus. Don't ask what's in it, and don't listen to what anyone else says. Just get it.

JW Dundee's, yeah!

Sam Adams Light is a great beer. It will remind you of a European beer with a full body taste. But if you just turned 21 you should go to a bar with your buddies and do some mixed drinks and fun shots like - B52's, Kamakazi's, Sex on the Beach, and all that good stuff.

Just remember - "Liquor before beer- you're in the clear"

That's an old wives' tale. It's amount of alchohol. When you're already wasted, and you pound a shot or ten, that adds to what you have and bam. Same thing with beer if you drink enough of it, on an empty stomach, for several hours.

I've packed it in and held it down a few times. I hate puking. One time I was so sick I had to turn down and essentially waste a Fat Tire. It was one of the most tragic moments of my life, and yes I remember it.

while Guinness is always my first choice, i do like Killians and this locally brewed belgian style stuff, Ommegang

Belgian beers are my favorite. Can't go wrong with them.
