A Look At “Sam ’76,” Sam Adams’ Brand New Lager/Ale Hybrid
As the flagship brand of the Boston Beer Company, Samuel Adams — or Sam Adams, for short — was founded in 1984 by James “Jim” Koch and Rhonda Kallman. One year after that, Samuel Adams Boston Lager was named “Best Beer In America” at the annual Great American Beer Festival. Three decades later, the Boston Beer Company is the second-largest craft brewery in the United States. Sam Adam has also done a lot beyond making popular brews, gifting over $400 million in loans to entrepreneurs as part of its Brewing The American Dream initiative, besides encouraging future generations of brewers by hosting the Samuel Adams LongShot American Homebrew Competition.
Sam ’76 is a revolutionary (pun intended) new beer from Sam Adams that is a combination of a lager and an ale. Aiming to provide simultaneous refreshment, craft flavor and aroma, Sam ’76 ought to appeal to both beer snobs and casual beer drinkers. Hosted at Trademark Taste + Grind — as connected to New York’s Executive Hotel Le Soleil — local Sam Adams team members were on-hand to present tastings of Sam ’76. Further awesome about this media-only invite were the sliders prepared by Trademark’s Executive Chef Adrienne Guttieri. Below in slideshow form are some photographic highlights from this Monday evening event, while more (and undoubtedly much better) images can be viewed via popular Instagram account “BeerSnackAlmanac.”
