Pale Ale Where can I find Samuel Adams Pale Ale in northern Columbus, OH?
I've looked for this beer in several locations, but no luck. I was in Newport, KY, a couple of weeks ago and found it there.
The Boston Beer Company (NYSE: SAM) is an American brewing company founded in 1984 by Jim Koch in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The beers were originally contract brewed by the Pittsburgh Brewing Company, though today, approximately 35% of its beer is produced at the company's Cincinnati brewery.[1] The brand name for the beers is Samuel Adams (often abbreviated to Sam Adams, even in advertisements), after Samuel Adams, a brewer[2] and an American patriot famous for his role in the American Revolution. Fellow Patriot Paul Revere's portrait generally appears on the front of each bottle. It is the largest American owned brewery. wiki
Being brewed in Cincinnati makes it likely more easy to find in Columbus. Just call beer distributors of the brewery to find locations of retail outlets that sell the Pale Ale.
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Pale ale, a variety of beer which uses a top fermenting yeast and predominantly pale malt, is one of the worlds major beer styles.Pale ale was a term used for beers made from malt dried with coke. Coke had been first used for roasting malt in 1642, but it wasnt until around 1703 that the term pale ale was first used. By 1784, advertisements were appearing in the Calcutta Gazette for light and excellent pale ale. By 1830, the expressions bitter and pale ale were synonymous. Breweries would tend to designate beers as pale ale, though customers would commonly refer to the same beers as bitter. It is thought that customers used the term bitter to differentiate these pale ales from other less noticeably hopped beers such as porter and mild.

What is an amber ale, cream ale and Indian pale ale?
And which of the three do you prefer, by which company?
Oh, my... all kinds of misconceptions in some of the other answers:
No, a cream ale is not darker and it does not have lactic acid. A cream ale is a "hybrid" variation on a standard American lager, sometimes fermented with an ale yeast, but can also be done with a lager yeast despite being called "ale." And lactic acid? No. Berliner weiss and some Belgian styles, but , no a cream ale is very "clean" in yeast and other fermentation characteristics. Think of Genesee Cream Ale or Little Kings. The colour of a cream ale is VERY light --SRM (a measure of colour) is 2.5-5.0, which is comparable or slightly lighter than a blonde ale.
"Amber," as another person said, can be almost anything. It is used more as marketing language that can describe a wide range of different beers, from moderately malty to fairly hoppy. About the only thing "amber" describes reasonably consistently is the colour of the beer.
The basic story many of the contributors on India Pale Ale is essentially correct a more heavily hopped beer with historical origins in the British Empire, a beer with the higher alcohol and higher hopping done for their preservative qualities to survive the trip to India.
Which beers? It depends where you live and what your local breweries are. In the Midwest, I like Ale Asylum's Ambergeddon (amber, very hoppy), Founders Centennial IPA among many IPAs, there really are a lot of great ones (New Holland Mad Hatter, Ale Asylum Ballistic, Lake Louie Kiss the Lips, Tyranena Bitter Woman, New Glarus Hop Hearty, and on and on and on. I love hops!). Cream ales are not quite so many in number. Some local breweries have them, but probably the most widely available is Genny Cream.
Incidentally, the comment, "NB: None of them are technically ales, once hops are added it becomes beer" is completely absurd, sorry to be blunt about it. Ales and lagers are two broad classifications of beer. Adding one of the primary ingredients (hops) of an ale (or a lager) does not cease to make it an ale. Indeed, the determination of whether something becomes an ale or lager type of beer happens long after the hops are added and the wort boiled...it's the strain of yeast that makes a beer become an ale (ale yeast) or lager (lager yeast).
