1 Frank B. Fuhrer Wholesale Company 3100 E Carson Street Pittsburgh, PA There are two new Sam Adams Single Batch flavors: Verloren and Norse Legend. Verloren is a Gose style of beer and comes from a base of unfiltered wheat ale, its light and refreshing yet also has softness to it. The flavor is brought to life by an unexpected touch of salt for a mineral quality, and coriander for a peppery spice. The result is an unusual and delicate brew that s full of flavors to discover. Norse Legend is Nordic ale that took root in Finland becoming one of the oldest continuously brewed styles. Deep amber in color, this rugged brew s distinctive aroma and flavor comes from aging on a bed of juniper berries. The herbal, woodsy, and ripe citrus character of the juniper enlivens a sturdy and smooth malt backbone for a fresh and flavorful brew. Sam Adams Porch Rocker Sam Adams Porch Rocker is a German style called radler. The name radler translates to cyclist, A 50/50 (ish) blend of beer and lemonade, similar to a shady style of beer. Perfect for any summer day, Samuel Adams Porch Rocker was inspired by traditional Bavarian Radlers that mix beer with German-style lemonade. For this bright and citrusy Radler, Sam Adams blended a Helles beer with lemon for a fresh-squeezed lemon taste, effervescent sweetness, and slightly tart, refreshing finish. A light malt character and hint of hops balance out this summer brew. Sam Adams Summer Ale Samuel Adams Summer Ale is an American wheat ale. This summer seasonal uses malted wheat, lemon peel and Grains of Paradise, a rare pepper from Africa first used as a brewing spice in the 13th century, to create a crisp taste, spicy flavor and medium body. The ale fermentation imparts a background tropical fruit note reminiscent of mangos and peaches. All of these flavors come together to create a thirst quenching, clean finishing beer perfect for those warm summer days. Sam Adams IPA Hop-ology Variety Pack The IPA Hop-ology variety pack will contain six different IPAs (two of each): Grumpy Monk Belgian IPA, Dark Depths Baltic IPA, Third Voyage Double IPA, Tasman Red IPA, Latitude 48 IPA and Whitewater IPA. Grumpy Monk, Dark Depths and Third Voyage are each beers branded under Samuel Adams Small Batch Series line. While Dark Depths and Third Voyage have previously been made available in 22 oz. bottles, this will be Grumpy Monk s debut in bottles. Grumpy Monk can be described as: The long held brewing traditions of Belgian monks aren t meant to be broken. Yet, to the monk s dismay, the distinctive character of Belgian yeast with its spicy clove and fruit notes can be re-imagined when combined with the brazen hop character of an IPA. These hops impart a citrusy, piney and earthy flavor that s balanced by roasted malt sweetness for a complex and playful brew.
