(Boston, MA) – I always seem to be late on these Samuel Adams LongShot postings.
John Holl of BeerBriefing.com and publications various reported early last month that he’d helped judged Boston Beer Co.‘s LongShot competition which resulted in the following lists of finalists:
Munich Dunkel by Corey Martin of Round Rock, TX
Berliner Weisse by Ariel Friedman of Arcata, CA
Russian Imperial Stout by Joe Formanek of Bolingbrook, IL
Specialty Beer by Phil Moore of Columbia, SC.
Two of those beers will be selected to be part of a mixed 6-pack that Boston Beer will release next spring.
The other beer to be selected is a homebrew from someone employed at Boston Beer. It looks like these are the label approvals for those finalists (though unconfirmed). Four other labels marked “Sample” also received approval and I’m assuming that those correspond to the above finalists.
Elderberry Ale
Ginger Ale
Sticke Ale
The winners will be announced at the Great American Beer Festival in late September.
