Samuel Adams, or Sam Adams, as there close friends call them, is a solid brewing company based in Boston, which was founded by Jim Koch around 25 years ago. Why did he start this glorious company? Because, "He believed that Americans deserved a better beer." I believe they've done that consistently since the mid-80's and it appears they're only getting better.

WEEK 15:

Blackberry Witbier


Now, some of you may be thinking that any beer with a type of fruit in the name is a sissy drink, but I assure you there is nothing fruity or effeminate about this beer. Besides, according to Sam Adams' website the blackberries they use for this particular beer are located at the foot of the Oregon Trail. Um, those berries sound pretty badass to me. I mean they'd have to be to have survived measles, snakebites, and dysentery, at the Oregon Trail. Classic video games aside, this beer has a nice orangish hue when poured into a pint glass and it looks slightly cloudy. However, that's because it is a "Witbier," which essentially means it's a Belgian-style ale with, usually, but not limited to, high levels of unfiltered wheat that can cause a murky or cloudiness in the beer. This particular brand has a slight sweet and tart flavor that plays off of each other nicely to make it taste crisp and clean. I give this beer two thumbs up and one drunken smile. Cheers!
