Okay so a 10am brewery tour is kind of crazy but we had a fun group to tour with. The tour is Free but they ask for donations which they donate the entire amount to Children’s charities. It is a very young brewery but have won many awards. They even won an award for winning the most awards. First, you go to the hops and malt room and get the low down on why they are so important to the beer process. Then off to the experimental fermentation room with the copper kettles and large vats. Finally, you get a free taster glass and go to the tasting room. We got to taste their signature brew “Sam Adams Lager”, “Oktoberfest” and “IPA White Water”. Afterwards you can hop on the Free trolley to “Doyles”. Doyles is the first customer and continues to be a customer of Sam Adams when they started back in 1984. It is a party trolley and they have lots of fun on the way to Doyles. If you go to Doyles, you get to keep your Signature Sam Adams Glass, worth $8.50 at the Brewery gift shop. We had their signature reuben, crab cakes and onion rings fried in a Sam Adams coating. A fun way to start the day!!!! They even take you back to the “T” (subway) afterwards.
Off we went to The Custom House which is now a Marriott Timeshare Vacation Club but you can go to the top at 2:00 every day for an awesome view of the city. It was built in 1847 as a Customs house and a taxing authority for the ships that could then pull up to the house. Now they filled in much of it with landfill and created more Land Space. If you look to the right on the view photo you can see Constitution Marina and Jay Sea Dee.
Finally we finished the Freedom Trail visiting the Paul Revere House and the North Church where they hung lanterns to warn of the coming of the British by Land or by Sea (depending on how many lanterns were hung).
