Samuel Adams Small Batch “Fat Jack”

Sam Adams Fat JackMore pumpkin laden brew on the way from the makers of Samuel Adams.  Fat Jack looks to be making an appearance in the Small Batch Series.

This rich and luscious brew indulges in flavor with over 28Ibs of pumpkin per barrel, for a full bodied sweetness and deep russet color. Classic pumpkin pie spices of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice ignite a warmth and spark that’s deepened by an undercurrent of roasty smoked malts. The result is a delectable brew full of enveloping layers of flavor and spice.

At Samuel Adams we love experimenting. This series of limited edition brews represents some of our favorite small batch creations.

Washington Caps Fans Boycotting Samuel Adams (Ya Gotta Love Hockey)

No Dunkin Donuts, no chowder, and definitely no Samuel Adams beer.  Those who don’t follow the NHL, it’s playoffs.  The Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins go in a critical, and (most likely violent) game 7 this evening to see who’s season ends.

In addition to various hockey superstitions (not washing jerseys, growing beards, etc) a popular Capitals fan blog BrooksLaichYear calls for the boycotting of Boston products.  Ovechkin fans, don’t dare pick up a Boston Lager today.  DC Brau? That’s legal.  (And tasty.) [BrooksLaichYear via WTOP]

Boston Beer Expands Dream Loans

Boston Beer Company is expanding their Brewing The American Dream program nationally. Brewing the American Dream provides loans and industry-specific coaching, mentoring, and educational resources to business owners who find it difficult to access the capital and guidance needed to sustain and grow their businesses.The national expansion will target at least $1 million in new loans, across the United States.   Boston Beer is also introducing a new Online Community, giving small businesses access to online resources in the food/beverage/hospitality segment.  The site wil provide access to unparalleled resources to help them succeed.

The beer brewer has partnered with Accion, a microlender.  To date, over $1 million has been loaned to over 150 businesses with a reported very low default rate.

“What differentiates Brewing the American Dream is the combination of loans and hands-on education,” said Jim Koch, brewer and founder of Samuel Adams.  “Working with Accion, we identify small business applicants who are often viewed as too risky by traditional banks — yet at the forefront of job creation and growth within their local communities — and where a relatively modest loan can have a meaningful impact. From there, we get down in the trenches with them through one-on-one mentoring and coaching to help them grow their businesses.”
