i was in MA recently and saw sam adams light all over the place.  i'd imagine it will be making its way to the rest of the US pretty soon.  it's not that bad actually.

It's actually heartening (to me) that they are breaking into the light market. Now that Sam Adams is almost everywhere, I can find something drinkable even in the worst bars.

Now, maybe the other beer makers will have to raise their standards a little.

Recently I noticed that Michelob had a whole line of 'craft' brewed beers, anybody try of them? Are they any good?

I tried it. It's really pretty good. Very close in flavor to their regular lager.
