Sam ’76 is a revolutionary new beer from Samuel Adams that is an unmatched combination of refreshment, craft flavor and aroma. By experimenting with both lager and ale yeast strains, our brewers developed a unique brewing process that takes two active fermentations and blends them together to create a deliciously harmonious result. This process delivers a distinct flavor that showcases the slight fruitiness of an ale with the balanced drinkability and smoothness of a lager, and at just 4.7% ABV this brew is perfect for sessionable occasions.

It’s been a little over a year since we launched Odell Brewing Company in our market. With your help and consumers enjoying the wide range of high quality beers from Odell Brewing Company.  The brewery continues to thrive and grow each and every year. Their new motto from “From Our Home to Yours” is very fitting with the support everyone has shown this terrific brewery.

The Collegian (the student newspaper at Colorado State University) decided to follow the entire processing of making a beer, from picking hops to the first sip, this is the story. We started at a hop field down south, then went to a stripper up north, then finally brewed the beer at Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins, Colorado. Most of the footage was shot in one day.

‘Tis the season for winter warmers – beers released around Christmas time for sipping over the cold months ahead.

 

A few of these beers might satisfy your Christmas cookie cravings; they have hints of oatmeal and nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger, others are toasty and dark with a bit of smokiness.  However, most are simply well-made ales with rich malty flavors and enough alcohol to warm you up. There are quite a few winners here – I hate to remind you (and myself), but winter is just beginning, and a few of these beers might help us make it through the long winter ahead.

 

 

Samuel Adams Winter Lager: German brewers may have been on to something centuries ago when they created bold, rich bock beers for the winter. For our beer, we brewed a dark wheat bock subtly spiced with fresh ground cinnamon, ginger & orange peel for a deep, smooth flavor and malty finish that will warm you on a cold winter’s night.

5.6% ABV, 22 IBUs, 25 SRM

 

Samuel Adams White Christmas: As crisp as the first snowfall of the year, this unfiltered white ale is blended with holiday spices including cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange peel. The familiar citrus and wheat characters of the ale are complemented by the warmth of the spices for a festive brew that’s perfect for the season.

5.8% ABV, 8 IBUs, 6 SRM

 

Summit Winter Ale: One taste and it’s easy to see why the Brits call this style Winter Warmer. Nutty, roasted malt flavor with hints of coffee, caramel, cocoa and a dash of hop spice.

6.5% ABV, 40 IBUs, 54 SRM

 

 

Fargo Brewing Company Roustabout Oatmeal Milk Stout (winter seasonal): This Oatmeal Milk Stout pours a beautiful, creamy black with a thick tan head that lasts in the glass. The aroma is filled with   and milk chocolate character. The body is smooth and rich, with very low bitterness and a subtle sweetness from milk sugar. The flavor is dominated by chocolate and coffee notes, the beer finishes smooth, sweet, and satisfying.

5.7% ABV, 22 IBUs

 

Lagunitas Brown Shugga’: Our winter seasonal that falls into the realm of “Dangerously Slammable”, this brew is especially irresponsible. We believe this Special Ale is Something Unique. Feeding Brown Cane Sugar to otherwise Cultured Brewery Yeast is a’kin to feeding Raw Shark to your Gerbil. It is unlikely to ever occur in nature without Human Intervention. And it looks weird besides. But it has happened and now it’s too Late.

9.9% ABV 51 IBUs

 

Odell Isolation Ale: A funny thing happens here around summer’s end—our eyes start searching the skies for those first fall flakes. As we welcome autumn’s first snow, we celebrate the return of Isolation Ale—a sweet-caramel malty ale balanced by a subtle crisp hop finish. Whether you ski, shred, or shoe, it’ll inspire you to make first tracks.

6.1% ABV, 29 IBUs

 

Schell Snowstorm 2017 Rye Ale: As ever y Midwesterner knows, no two Snowstorms are ever alike. As an homage to the uniqueness of our Northern climate, we celebrate the start of every winter with a unique Snowstorm of our own, a one-of-a-kind limited edition brew. This year’s Snowstorm is a Reddish-brown ale with hints of spicy rye and bread crust, ideally suited for brisk Northern nights!

6.0% ABV

 

Empyrean Winter Wisdom Hazelnut Brown Ale: Wise up. Look deep within this brown ale to breathe in caramel aromas, taste hints of roasted hazelnuts and find a smooth, creamy finish. Best paired with old friends, festive tunes and New Year’s Resolutions. Also great with beef, grilled vegetables, Southwest flavors and caramel desserts.

5.3% ABV, 18 IBUs

We are excited to announce the Sweet Release of Lagunitas Brown Shugga’. We even included a Thanksgiving recipe – BROWN SHUGGA-IFIED BAKED CANDIED YAMS, along with some great videos from our Friends at Lagunitas.

 

Brown Shugga’, a seasonal brew from Lagunitas, was created in 1997 as the result of an attempt to rescue a failed batch of Olde GnarlyWine Ale by adding “boatloads of brown sugar”—or so the story goes, anyway. It was a hit and they’ve made it every year since with only one exception (the moving year).

Lagunitas, then in the process of building a new brew house, realized that they didn’t have the facilities to brew both their regular beers and Brown Shugga’ (which requires more time to make than the others). In its place they released an excellent IPA that they named Lagunitas Sucks Holiday Ale, with an apology for not brewing Brown Shugga’ printed on every bottle.

 

Brown Shugga’ – it’s less sweet than you’d expect, smooth and biscuity-tasting with a subtle brown sugar flavor and piney hops that kick in with a bitterness that intensifies for two or three seconds before starting to fade. When the beer is cold the hop bitterness is the dominant flavor, but it mellows out as it warms up, letting the malts come through more.

BROWN SHUGGA-IFIED BAKED CANDIED YAMS

It’s that time of year again… The time to gather with friends and family to enjoy copious amounts of great food, fun stories and of course some ice cold brews. So we thought we would share one of our favorite holiday shareables that can easily be whipped up, and perfectly washed down with Brown  Shugga’ Ale. How come you taste so good?!
Ingredients

• 5 medium-ish sized yams
• 8 tbsp salty butter
• 1 12 oz bottle o’ Lagunitas Brown Shugga’
• 1 tsp Crushed cinnamon
• ½ tsp Milled nutmeg
• ¼ tsp pulverized clove
• ¼ tsp powdered ginger
• 1 cup granulated shugga’
• ¼ cup brown shugga’ (the kind in the box, not the kind in the bottle…)
• 1 tbsp of the purest vanilla extract you can find.

Instructions

1. Turn the oven down from 420 F to 350 F…
2. Wash your hands… Then the yams.
3. Peel those yams, then slice em into ½ inch thick slices
4. Gently throw the yams into a 9”x13”ish baking dish thing.
5. Get a medium sized POT and put the butter in it. Get it all melty over medium heat.
6. Once the butter is melty, sprinkle in the white & brown sugar (Not the beer), ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground clove.
7. Turn the stove off, then forget that you turned the stove off and check it again. Mix the ingredients, then add the ultra pure vanilla extract & all 12 ounces of the irresponsibly-sweet Brown Shugga’ (the beer this time).
8. Pour that candied mixture over the yams (try to coat all the yams with the candied goodness).
9. Next, turn the oven back on again… Cover the baking dish with a protective layer of foil, then bake the yams in the oven for 30 minutes. Make a foil hat to prevent alien brain control.
10. Remove the yams from the oven, and baste them with MORE of the candied goodness.
11. Cover the yams again, and get them BAKED for another 15-20 minutes.
12. Carefully remove the yams from the oven, with both hands and let them sit for about 10 minutes before dividing them off to friends or family. Don’t forget to save some for yourself!
13. Enjoy it best with a cold Brown Shugga’ Ale. Cheers!
