Sam Adams Pale Ale, Hefeweizen and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation
Did you know that Renée Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey starred in one of the worst “horror” films ever made back in 1994? Neither did I, until I cracked open a Sam Adams “Beers of Summer” sampler pack last night.
The night started out like any other. My wife and I had just put our seven month-old daughter Hannah to bed. The tiki torches on the deck were lit. She had a bottle of wine chilling that I knew she was going to hate and I was deciding between Samuel Adams Pale Ale and Hefeweizen.
I’m a big fan of the Sam Adams sampler packs, even though this one had Boston Lager and Light in the mix. My rule of thumb is that sampler packs should only have unique styles and flavors in them. If I wanted the Lager and Light, I’d buy them and be done with it. But, I’m all about variety, and the rest of the selection drew me to this 12-pack. Summer Ale, Pale Ale, Hefeweizen and Cherry Wheat. That’s a good combo.
It’s a gloomy, wet, cool Friday here in New Jersey and it feels like the weekend (not to mention Summer!) can’t come soon enough. Thankfully, Sam Adams is here to brighten our day with the announcement that their “Beers of Summer” 12 and 24-packs will be available for our drinking needs from May through July.
