to past two years i’ve gotten a great & really fortunate chance to brew some beer with the guys at Sam Adams in Boston. Last summer, it was BBQ smoked peach - this year, it’s Bloody Mary Beer. Not only is it delicious, but it was fun to make. The Brewmasters are incredibly knowledgable and the whole process is really fascinating. For being such a prominent figure in the US beer market, it’s really amazing how great the company is at staying true to their roots & supporting the beer movement in all directions.
‘Burke Spicy Tomato’ will be at any David Burke Restaurant in a few weeks & damn its delicious.
