In 1819, Thomas Jefferson, who had no reason to polish Samuel’s record, wrote … ‘I can say that he was truly a great man, wise in council, fertile in resources, immoveable in his purposes.’ ” Regular viewers, meanwhile, are waiting for Sam’s big bar scene. As one reviewer writes, “Will Sam Adams finally give the others a taste of that new ale he’s been raving about?”
