THE ACB WEEKEND BEER PICK
With things warming up a bit this weekend we’ll be hitting up something new and unexpected from Samuel Adams that’s an ale and lager hybrid. Having originated in Boston Beer’s experimental small-batch brewery, Sam ’76 is a 4.7% ABV blend of two active fermentations – a base lager and a base ale – each with their own respective yeast strains. Interesting!
