4 Out Of 6
Want A Sixer

Boston Lager was a beer I use to not enjoy or buy and was my least favorite lager. When I think of a lager, I believe Yuengling brewery sets the bar. This beer has grown on me though with it's bold complex taste. Boston like Philly is a beer city so they know what they are doing when it comes to brewing beer.
