Sam Adams Longshot Homebrew Finalists Announced
Every year the Boston Beer Company holds their Sam Adams Longshot American Homebrew Competition. Homebrewers from across the country send in sample bottles of their homebrew to be judged for a shot at commercial production by The Boston Beer Company. The four finalist beers are taken to the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, CO for final judging. Once the judging is complete, the winner’s beer will be added to the Longshot Variety Pack. This includes two homebrew winners and a third winner of the Samuel Adams employee homebrew contest.
The finalists are:
Brewer: Ronald Mahan of Kentucky
Style: Maibock
Brewer: Ben Miller of New Mexico
Style: Barley Wine
Brewer: Michael Robinson of New Hampshire
Style: Old Ale
Brewer: Jason Roeper of Ohio
Style: Straight (Unblended) Lambic
