No Special Releases this week. But we have this....

Special Event Tasting - Friday Sept. 14 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Sam Adams Tasting and Stein Hoisting Competition http://www.samueladams.com/promos/steinhoist2012/index.aspx

Test your strength at holding a Filled One Liter Stein with one arm longer than your fellow beer enthusiasts.
The winner in our store will be invited to compete at Octoberfest Denver sponsored by Samuel Adams!

Beers we will be pouring (subject to change without notice due to availability):

Samuel Adams - Octoberfest - "The first thing you notice when pouring a glass of this seasonal beer is the color. Samuel Adams® Octoberfest has a rich, deep reddish amber hue which itself is reflective of the season. Samuel Adams Octoberfest masterfully blends together five roasts of malt to create a delicious harmony of sweet flavors including caramel and toffee. The malt is complimented by the elegant bitterness imparted by the Bavarian Noble hops. Samuel Adams Octoberfest provides a wonderful transition from the lighter beers of summer to the heartier brews of winter."
 Samuel Adams - Harvest Pumpkin Ale - "A perennial favorite at our brewery Halloween party, Samuel Adams Harvest Pumpkin Ale is brewed with over 17 pounds of real pumpkin per barrel, adding a full body and sweetness to this dark reddish amber brew.  Deep roasted malts, including a smoked malt, lend a distinct roasted character while traditional pumpkin pie spices give the beer a subtle spice note."
 Samuel Adams - Noble Pils - "Samuel Adams® Noble Pils is brewed with all 5 Noble hops for a distinct hop character and fresh taste.  Deep golden in color with a citrusy hop aroma, Samuel Adams Noble Pils is a traditional Bohemian Pilsner.  The honeyed malt character from traditional Bohemian malt is balanced by delicate yet pronounced citrus, floral, and piney notes from the Noble hops.  The winner of our 2009 Beer Lover’s Choice® election, this beer was chosen by over 67,000 drinkers for its crisp complexity and refreshing taste."
 Samuel Adams - Barrel Room Collection - Stony Brook Red - "This unique brew defies traditional beer style definition. The rich, malty brew combines notes of tart fruit from the yeast with a toasty oak character from the barrel aging. The long dry finish is almost wine-like. This is a beer that is satisfying on its own and also pairs well with many foods such as braised or roasted meats, beef stews and strong salty cheeses."
