My boyfriend's dad purchased a case of Boston Lager this summer. During the fourth of July, they had friends and family over for a BBQ and we started cracking them open. About every third one exploded then foamed for a few seconds, wasting about a quarter of the beer. At first we assumed they had been jostled around and did not think much of it. A few months later , Michael and I came over to check on the house while his parents went out of town. We saw a few lagers still in the fridge and decided to finish them up. One out of the three of them also exploded. Even though we were not the ones who purchased them, we were still annoyed. They had plenty of time to settle now, so we could not understand why this was happening. Samuel Adams states in its commercials that they will always stand behind their products, so I logged on to the website and filed a complaint.
A few days later I received an email expressing an apology and a good explanation for why they exploded. They are not meant to stored on their sides---which is how Michael's dad stored in the fridge. But, they did stand behind their product and issued us a refund for full retail price.
I was not big Samuel Adam's fan before, being a west coast girl. But, I am more than happy to support a brewery that cares about quality.
All that being said, two of Samuel Adam's beers are not vegan, the Cherry Wheat and the Honey Porter. They both contain honey. All the rest are contain no animal products, so try them!

I really enjoy the Octoberfest. It is malty, kinda sweet, and lightly balanced with hops. Great for Football Season.
