Hearty and smooth, blended with five varieties of malted barley.
The first thing you notice when pouring a glass of this seasonal beer is the color. Samuel Adams OctoberFest has a rich, deep amber hue which itself is reflective of the season. Samuel Adams OctoberFest is a malt lover's dream, masterfully blending together five roasts of barley to create a delicious harmony of sweet flavors including caramel and toffee. The beer is kept from being overly sweet by the elegant bitterness imparted by the German Noble hops. Samuel Adams OctoberFest provides a wonderful transition from the lighter beers of summer to the winter's heartier brews.
As the Summer is really heating up so are things down here at the Brewery! If you are going to be in Boston, or if you are local and just have never made it to the Brewery, come on down and say hi.

Samuel Adams Summer Ale Pork Tenderloin
One last grilling recipe for the summer!
Ingredients
1 quart water
3 bottles of Samuel Adams® Summer Ale
1 cup salt
½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
1/3 cup crushed fennel seeds
1 teaspoon dried sage
Peel of 1 tangerine/orange
Peel of 1 lemon
4 whole pork tenderloins (3-4 lbs in all)
Instructions
Combine all of the ingredients, except the pork, in a large pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Mix until the salt and sugar all dissolved, then simmer for an additional 56 minutes. Transfer this brine into a container and refrigerate.
When the brine is quite cool (less than 50 degrees), add the pork tenderloins and place a heavy plate on top of them to keep them submerged. Marinate the pork in the refrigerator for 3 days. Then remove the pork, rinse with water and pat dry.
Grill the pork tenderloins to an internal temp of 160 degrees or about 10-12 minutes. Each tenderloin should serve 2 people.
Pair it with your last bottles of Samuel Adams Summer Ale to bring out the citrus flavor in the brine or your first bottle of Samuel Adams OctoberFest to complement the caramelized grilled flavors of the pork. Either should work nicely.

Cheers Ralf, 
Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer! I promise you, nowhere is that statement more true than down here at the brewery in August. It gets so hot down here! But, at least we have plenty of cold beer to quench our thirst when we get a little parched. (I'll stop complaining now...)
I think you guys know by now that we brew 21 award-winning styles of beer. And while brewing all kinds of beer makes things a little crazy here at the brewery, it also allows us to offer a tremendous amount of variety to beer drinkers. Personally, I like the fact that I can go into the cooler and choose from ten to twelve beers that are in season. Because while I could drink Samuel Adams Boston Lager® all year round, I need a little variety in my life.
And this is also the time of year that we think about adding to our portfolio of beers through our Beer Lovers Choice" Election. See below for the 2007 Candidates.
What else is ON TAP this month...OCTOBERFEST IS COMING, a Wheat Beer Open House and one of Boston Cares biggest events of the year.
Get your lederhosen ready everyone!
Cheers!

Ever wonder how we decide what the next style of Samuel Adams® beer should be? Well, the answer is we don't decide...YOU do. We are kicking off our 3rd Annual Beer Lover's Choice(TM) Election. You will decide the next brew to join the Samuel Adams® Brewmaster's Collection. You know what? I'll let Jim tell you all about it.

In 2005, you elected Samuel Adams® Brown Ale. The 2006 winner was Samuel Adams® Honey Porter. Who are the contestants in the 2007 Election? The top two vote-getters at our Primary Election at March's Open House at the Brewery were Samuel Adams® Irish Red Ale and Samuel Adams® Dunkelweizen.
Samuel Adams Irish Red Ale
Pale and caramel malts give the beer its rich deep red color and distinctive caramel flavor. The sweetness of the malt is pleasantly balanced by the distinct hop bitterness, and in turn, the beer finishes with a smooth, earthy note from the East Kent Goldings hops.
Samuel Adams Dunkelweizen
Dunkelweizen translates into "dark wheat" and the beer is a darker version of the Bavarian wheat beers of the 15th century. Dark amber brown in color, this unfiltered ale is brewed with traditional Bavarian yeast, which imparts a wide spectrum of flavors and aromas from spicy clove and nutmeg to tropical fruit and banana. The result is a beer that is complex and flavorful, medium-bodied with a crisp finish.
So, check out our website to find out where the tastings are happening. If there isn't one in your area, make a trip to the brewery. We are doing BLC tastings every day down here at the brewery. So, while you are waiting for the tour to start you can have your chance to determine our next Samuel Adams brew.
Samuel Adams® OctoberFest is hitting the streets this month and that means the Samuel Adams OctoberFest Celebration is only a few short weeks away. On the weekend of September 14th & 15th, we will be hosting Boston's premier Oktoberfest celebration, the 7th Annual Samuel Adams OctoberFest at the Castle at Park Plaza.
Oh man...I can already hear the Jolly Kopperschmidts Oompah band playing in my ears. If you haven't made it to our OctoberFest Celebration before, this is definitely the year to go. Along with our friends from the Beer Summit, we are putting on our best celebration yet. Two German bands, authentic German food and 14 Samuel Adams styles of beer including two very special German beers, on draft, brewed only for this event!
Seriously, if you aren't going to Munich or Cincinnati, come here to Boston for OctoberFest. A wide variety of Samuel Adams beer, good friends, authentic food, music...want more? We'll have stein hoisting contests, polka dancing and more. I can already taste that first sip of OctoberFest. (mmmmmmmm...OctoberFest)
Saturday tickets are $15 and that includes an authentic Samuel Adams OctoberFest stein and your first beer. Friday night is a VIP night - costs a little more, but worth it.
