Here’s the keg label for the Samuel Adams Patriot Homebrew Smoked Porter. Update from Samuel Adams:
(Boston, MA) – The Boston Beer Company announced today that Matthew Welz of Vermont is the winner of the fifth annual Samuel Adams Patriot Homebrew Contest. His winning brew, a Robust Smoked Porter, will be poured at Gillette Stadium during the upcoming New England Patriots season.
“I’ve been homebrewing for years and am thrilled to have received such a high honor from Jim Koch and the rest of the judges,” said Welz of Cornwall, Vermont.
Matthew’s beer is a dark mahogany porter, brewed with 5 varieties of malt. The beer’s robust smoky flavor from the smoked malt is balanced by the roasted espresso character of carafe malt, making it an ideal brew for the football season.
“We’ve had a great time brewing Matt’s beer and look forward to sharing it with drinkers at Gillette Stadium this year,” said Jim Koch. “Over the last five years, we’ve had the opportunity to introduce thousands of football fans to some really unique and enjoyable beers and are excited to introduce Welz’s Robust Smoked Porter this season.”
