Craft Beer for a Great Cause

This coming Thursday, the Boston Beer Company, better known as Samuel Adams, will be hosting a special beer tasting event at their Jamaica Plain brewery. The event has been set up to raise funds for the American Red Cross to aid those affected by Superstorm Sandy, which hit the Jersey Shore and New York City area especially hard.

Please read the following event information from Eventbrite and consider attending or donating!


At Sam Adams, we've always believed that little things can make a difference in the taste of our beer. In the wake of superstorm Sandy, which has left so many in need of assistance, we know that little things can help make a difference to those in need.  On Thursday, November 15th, we are holding a special beer tasting with the proceeds from the event going to the American Red Cross to help those affected by the storm.
Additionally, if you'd like to donate a blanket, a jacket, warm socks, or a sweatshirt - all donated items will be given to the Salvation Army for distribution to those in need.  These may seem like little things to many of us who were spared a direct hit, but the sum of many little things can help a lot of people.
Can't make the event but still want to help?  Feel free to make a donation directly to the Red Cross.
Other ways to donate:  If you've ever been to the brewery in Jamaica Plain for a tour, you may know we accept donations that typically benefit Y.E.S., Granary Burying Grounds, and our own philanthropic program Brewing the American Dream.  For the remainder of 2012, all donations will be directed towards relief efforts from the storm.  So feel free to drop by for a tour and make a donation to the cause.
