Thank you!BREWING THE AMERICAN DREAM SPOTLIGHT: BIG SHOULDERS BEER COMPANY Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream® is proud to welcome a new craft brewer to the program! Rich Szydlo, founder of Big Shoulders Beer Company is an extremely passionate brewer who is just getting his brewery off the ground in Chicago. He has many years of homebrewing experience and after working for years in film production and finance, Rich returned to the job he truly liked the most: bartending. While trying to figure out how to leverage his experience in the bar business, it came to him: "Hey, if I can make my own beer, why can't I sell my own beer?" Today, Big Shoulders Beer Company celebrates Rich's deep love and commitment to the city where he grew up - Chicago! Rich plans to use the loan he has received from the Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream program to officially brew his first batch for distribution. His starting lineup will include Crosstown Wheat, an unfiltered wheat brewed with lemongrass and coriander as well as Hopapalooza IPA. To learn more about Brewing the American Dream, click here.COOKING WITH SAM: SUMMER ALE Building off the summer offer we highlighted above, our friend and Chef Partner David Burke created this Samuel Adams Summer Ale-infused Lobster Roll to help get your summer on a roll (yes, the pun was very much intended). We thought this might be a good recipe for our do-it-yourself folks who enjoy cooking/brewing from scratch. Enjoy!Samuel Adams Summer Ale-infused Lobster Roll Ingredients: 16 oz. lobster meat (cooked)¼ cup chopped celery¼ cup chopped carrots¼ cup diced green apples4 tsp tarragon½ cup mayonnaise2 Tbsp cream cheese2 Tbsp lemon juice 8 shaved scallions 4 artisanal rolls¼ cup Samuel Adams Summer Ale• Mix mayonnaise, cream cheese and Samuel Adams Summer Ale together in a mixing bowl. Mix cooked lobster meat, celery, carrots, apples, tarragon, mayonnaise mixture, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Place one quarter of the lobster meat mixture into each bun. Top with shaved scallions to taste. Serves 4 (and pairs nicely with a tall pint of Summer Ale!). For more recipe ideas, visit www.samueladams.comIN THIS ISSUEBeer & Lobster Show Us Your Summer Styles Open House Cooking With Sam Perfect for those warm summer days.Since its arrival in 1996, Samuel Adams® Summer Ale has become a staple of the summer months. An American wheat ale, this seasonal uses malted wheat, lemon peel and Grains of Paradise, a rare pepper from Africa first used as a brewing spice in the 13th century, to create a crisp taste, spicy flavor and medium body. The ale fermentation imparts a background tropical fruit note reminiscent of mangos and peaches. All of these flavors come together to create a thirst quenching, clean, and refreshing beer perfect for those warm summer days. Here in New England, we enjoy pairing Summer Ale with the sweet, rich, and buttery taste of lobster. Calamari and grilled salmon can also pair nicely with the citrus notes of this summer brew. Surprisingly, this brew can even complement the lemon notes in the mayonnaise found in potato salad! For more Summer Ale food pairing ideas, please visit our Course Pairings page. Summer Ale is now available individually as well as in our Summer Styles variety pack. Visit our Find a Sam page to find Summer Ale, and all your favorite Sams, near you. We brew our many styles of Samuel Adams beer for the same reason you enjoy drinking them, simply for the love of beer. Join us on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with news, special event announcements, and to participate in the conversation with a community of beer lovers who are as passionate about Samuel Adams beer as you are.
