Samuel Adams is going social. Boston Beer is giving Facebook members (I think that's 99% of you now--hi Grandma!) a say in the brewing process by crowd-sourcing a beer. Using the "Crowd Craft Project" app, Facebook fans can determine the color, clarity, body and character of the malt, hops and yeast for the collaborative beer.]]> http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/sam-adams-asks-the-facebook-crowd-to-build-its-next-beer/feed/ 0 http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/sam-adams-holiday-brews-2011/ http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/sam-adams-holiday-brews-2011/#comments Sat, 19 Nov 2011 15:28:39 +0000 David Lauterbach http://briansbelly.com/?p=2369
Boston Beer is set to roll out four limited-edition brews this holiday season that include flavors such as fruits, chocolates and chilies, oh my.

Boston Beer is launching a champagne-like brew later this month to prove that beer can be worthy of a New Year's toast. The limited run beer, called Infinium, will be sold in 750-ml bottles with foil-covered cork tops, like champagne.]]> http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/sam-adams-launching-infinium-champagne-beer/feed/ 1 http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/boston-beer-keeping-sam-adams-crafty/ http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/boston-beer-keeping-sam-adams-crafty/#comments Wed, 16 Jun 2010 02:30:02 +0000 David Lauterbach http://briansbelly.com/?p=1440 http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/boston-beer-keeping-sam-adams-crafty/feed/ 0 http://briansbelly.com/shopping/samuel-adams-boston-lager-glass/ http://briansbelly.com/shopping/samuel-adams-boston-lager-glass/#comments Wed, 16 Dec 2009 13:35:13 +0000 David Lauterbach http://briansbelly.com/?p=1178
About two years ago, my buddy John gave me a set of Samuel Adams Boston Lager Glasses. Since there is always some kind of Sammy A in my fridge, it's nice to have some highly distinctive matching glasses.]]> http://briansbelly.com/shopping/samuel-adams-boston-lager-glass/feed/ 1 http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/samuel-adams-octoberfest/ http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/samuel-adams-octoberfest/#comments Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:23:16 +0000 David Lauterbach http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=982 Warning: getimagesize(/beerbelly/beerimages/samadamsoctoberfest_6pack.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/bach/public_html/wp-content/plugins/rss-image-feed/image-rss.php on line 185

As I sit here, leaves are beginning to fall from the trees... some of them right into my beer mug. Although the crisp days of autumn are not quite upon us yet here in New York, I recognize that the Octoberfest is the perfect beer for today's climate. This seasonal German style lager is hitting the spot.]]> http://briansbelly.com/beer-belly/samuel-adams-octoberfest/feed/ 0 http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/two-six-packs-of-truly-american-beers-for-the-4th-of-july-2/ http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/two-six-packs-of-truly-american-beers-for-the-4th-of-july-2/#comments Wed, 01 Jul 2009 13:03:12 +0000 David Lauterbach http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=887 http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/two-six-packs-of-truly-american-beers-for-the-4th-of-july-2/feed/ 2 http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/sam-adams-longshot-six-pack-features-contest-winners/ http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/sam-adams-longshot-six-pack-features-contest-winners/#comments Wed, 15 Apr 2009 03:18:02 +0000 David Lauterbach http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=786 http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/sam-adams-longshot-six-pack-features-contest-winners/feed/ 0 http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/economy-bad-beer-good-sales-are-up-for-craft-brewers/ http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/economy-bad-beer-good-sales-are-up-for-craft-brewers/#comments Tue, 24 Feb 2009 05:01:30 +0000 David Lauterbach http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=652 http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/economy-bad-beer-good-sales-are-up-for-craft-brewers/feed/ 1 http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/samuel-adams-brews-chocolate-for-the-holidays/ http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/samuel-adams-brews-chocolate-for-the-holidays/#comments Wed, 12 Nov 2008 04:40:27 +0000 David Lauterbach http://www.briansbelly.com/?p=211 http://briansbelly.com/news-blog/samuel-adams-brews-chocolate-for-the-holidays/feed/ 2
