Sam Adams Turns 40

If you've been an American craft beer drinker for any portion of the last two decades you've not only encountered Samuel Adams, but probably tasted plenty of brews inspired by the legendary craft brewery.

Well, Sam Adams turns 40 this year, and will celebrate that birthday this weekend.

"Like any good beer festival, we’ll be pouring a range of styles and each will tie into the journey of craft beer over the last four decades," officials said in an event listing. "Our stacked lineup of 15 samples will include: throwback beers from the vault, all four seasonals, limited-edition collaborations, and our newest innovations."
