 From Sam Adams: http://www.samueladams.com/contact_tour.aspx "You'll 
learn about our history... and then drink it. Learn all about Samuel 
Adams, brewer and patriot. Experience the entire brewing process, from 
start to finish. Taste the special malts used to brew Samuel AdamsR 
beers and smell the Hallertau and Tettnang hops. Enjoy many of the great 
styles of Samuel AdamsR beers."

This event is open to all off-campus graduates and their
