Coming Up From Samuel Adams: Little White Rye

As of late, many of these new Samuel Adams offerings appear in mixed packs. Little White Ryeis on the horizon from the Boston based brewery.

Innocent yet beguiling, this hazy golden brew appears to be a classic wittier with its bright notes of orange citrus & coriander, but there’s a bit more mischief up its sleeve.  Behind its sweet exterior lies an intriguing blend of white sage and rye for an earthly, spicy, and thoroughly refreshing brew.

Style: Rye Beer (w/ Orange Peel, Coriander, Sage)
Availability: 12oz bottles
Arrival: TBA

Brooklyn Debuts Fiat Lux [Video]


Brooklyn Brewing adds to the Brewmasters Reserve Series with Fiat Lux. The name means “Let There Be Light.”  The name is less religious and more “let the be the light of summer.”

Let there be beaches, let there be blankets laid out on grass, let there be beer gardens, let there be barbecues, let there be outdoor concerts, let there be good beer everywhere, great people to drink it with, and time to enjoy it. Yeah, we thought you’d be down with that too. Brooklyn Fiat Lux is great with everything you’re cooking and eating this summer (it’s not that great with beef stew… but you’re not eating beef stew) from barbecue to burgers, from crawfish to salmon. And it’s mighty nice with goat cheese. Have a great summer, folks. And yes, we admit it — we really do love walking into places, declaring “Fiat Lux!” and making it so.
Lux is based on a witbier recipe, brewed with Canadian and American malts and un-malted white winter wheat. Then Lux is spiced with coriander and lime peel.

Style: Witbier (Coriander, Lime Peel)
Availability: Draft only
