The 4th annual Samuel Adams Beer Lovers Choice program will be back at the end of the month. Samuel Adams, brewer and patriot, was one of the founders of democracy in this country. This summer you can exercise your right to choose the next brew in the Samuel Adams® family of beers.

  

The candidates are…

Samuel Adams Blackberry Witbier
The aroma has distinct Blackberry notes with a subtle spice character. We brewed a traditional witbier with orange peel and coriander, and then added a hint of blackberry. The flavor is very complex with malt and cereal notes, intense spice and citrus flavors and a smooth, sweet/tart finish.

Samuel Adams Coffee Stout
This stout is “dry beaned” with coffee beans from Rwanda*. Known as the “land of a thousand hills”, Rwanda produces some of the world’s finest coffee due to its volcanic soil, high altitude and plentiful rain. We start with a full-bodied stout brewed with a special blend of roasted barley and dark crystal malt, and then age if for two weeks on whole coffee beans- ¾ of a pound per barrel. The result is a rich roasty flavor with a smooth finish.

* For this stout we are proud to be using Rwandan coffee from The Thousand Hills Coffee Company. Thousand Hills’ proceeds help subsidize and support the building of schools in Rwanda. We are thrilled to support Thousand Hills and are excited that they made a special roast of coffee just for this beer.

Keep your eye on www.samueladams.com later this month to find out where you can taste these brews and cast a vote for your favorite. Last year we collected over 40,000 ballots and, after all were tallied, Samuel Adams Irish Red proudly followed in the footsteps of previous winners Samuel Adams Brown Ale (’05) and Samuel Adams Honey Porter (’06). Will you help decide this year’s winner?
