FLAGSHIP FEBRUARY SPOTLIGHT:
BOSTON LAGER by Samuel Adams
One of the first beers to introduced us to craft beer, way back in 1988!
Samuel Adams Boston Lager helped lead the American beer revolution, reviving a passion for full-flavored brews. It is the best example of the fundamental characteristics of a great beer, offering a full, rich flavor that is both balanced and complex. It is brewed using a decoction mash, a time consuming, traditional four vessel brewing process discarded by many contemporary brewers. This process brings forth a rich sweetness from the malt that makes it well worth the effort. Samuel Adams Boston Lager® also uses only the finest of ingredients including two row barley, as well as German Noble aroma hops. The exclusive use of two row barley not only imparts a full, smooth body but also gives the beer a wide spectrum of malt flavor ranging from slightly sweet to caramel to slightly roasted. The Noble hops varieties, Hallertau Mittelfruh and Tettnang Tettnanger, add a wide range of floral, piney and citrus notes, which are present from the aroma, through the flavor, to the lingering smooth finish. We take great pride in the Noble hops used in our beers. They are hand selected by founder and owner, Jim Koch, and our other brewers from the world’s oldest hops growing area. Among the world’s most expensive, they cost twenty times as much as other hops.
Boston Beer Company is so committed to producing beers of the highest quality that, to this day, Jim Koch still tastes each batch of Boston Lager before it is packaged to ensure that it reaches the company's high quality standards. We'll drink to that!
