Sam Adams Summer Ale

Bright and citrusy, brewed with Grains of Paradise.

Samuel Adams® Summer Ale is an American wheat ale. This summer seasonal uses malted wheat, lemon peel and Grains of Paradise, a rare pepper from Africa first used as a brewing spice in the 13th century, to create a crisp taste, spicy flavor and medium body. The ale fermentation imparts a background tropical fruit note reminiscent of mangos and peaches.  All of these flavors come together to create a thirst quenching, clean finishing beer perfect for those warm summer days.

This is an elegant but crisp wine from South Africa has ripe gooseberry and crisp, green apple flavors on the palate, backed by tropical fruits and a hint of grassiness that lingers long on the aftertaste.
It is an ideal companion to fish, light poultry dishes and for serving as a summer patio wine – down it with masses of mussels.

A 1776 Favorite:

Colby Red

Colby Groom is now 13 years of age. Just prior to his 10th birthday he underwent back to back open heart surgeries. He is now a seasoned
volunteer with the American Heart Association and was inspired to
raise money for heart research through creating a wine with his Dad,
notable winemaker Daryl Groom and Colby Red was born.

Colby Red is a flavorful California cuvee of Cabernet Sauvignon,
Zinfandel, Shiraz, Merlot & Petite Sirah.

"This is a unique and generous red wine, just as Colby is a unique and generous child. I blended five different grape varieties to make a red that's juicy and velvety smooth, with rich fruit flavors and a soft finish.

Colby Red is a wine for sheer delicious enjoyment. While it's a great wine with food, it tastes best in the company of good friends and family, savored with an appreciation of the gifts each moment brings."

Daryl Groom, Winemaker
