Samuel Adams Brewers Vault Final Round of Voting
Back in May Samuel Adams unveiled sixteen beers that have been brewed and have since been retired to the vault. These sixteen beers were up for vote to see which four would advance to the final round. From the original sixteen, four beers have made the final round that consists of Black & Brew Coffee Stout, Black Lager, Hefeweizen, and Scotch Ale.
“We’ve been brewing boundary-pushing beers for over 30 years, but with innovation comes the inevitability of having to tuck away the recipes for some our favorite brews to save for another day,” said Samuel Adams founder and brewer Jim Koch. “We hear from our drinkers nearly every day asking us to re-release their favorites, so we’re excited to make these brews available once again on a national level.”
These four beers were from the original sixteen that consisted of the following.
Black & Brew Coffee Stout (2011*)
Black Lager (2004)
Blackberry Witbier (2008)
Honey Porter (2002)
Mighty Oak Ale (2011)
Pale Ale (1999)
Brown Ale (2005)
Cranberry Lambic (1990)
East West Kolsch® (2011)
Revolutionary Rye® Ale (2010)
Rustic Saison (2011)
Scotch Ale (1995)
Vienna Lager (2002)
Weiss Bier (2001)
Golden Pilsner (1996)
Hefeweizen (2003)
