Something innovative is BREWING at our Sam Adams Downtown Boston Taproom! We’ve partnered with Black Viking Brewery, the first black-owned brewery in MoCo, Maryland to bring you Storm of the Century (6% ABV). This beautiful ginger black lager kicks-off the 2023 Sam Adams Innovation Collaboration Series, a series that helps highlight other breweries sharing our ethos of innovation through amazing small-batch beers.  

With its punch of ginger, Storm of the Century is smooth, roasty and a little bit spicey, and is the perfect lager to enjoy as the weather gets warmer. “When I first tasted Black Viking Brewing’s Zingabier, I was floored. The use of the ginger was some of the best I've ever tasted in a beer, and immediately knew we could create something special together!” explains Head Brewer, Megan Parisi, as the inspiration behind this perfect storm.  

Releasing on Thursday, April 6th, this brew will be available on draft and in special crowlers to-go. We’ll be celebrating the Storm of The Century’s release with our friends from Black Viking that very same day, starting at 5:30pm. The festivities will feature a special pairing from Brewing The American Dream entrepreneur, Delectable Desires, and 80s and 90s hip hop pumping through our speakers all night!

The Sam Adams Downtown Boston Taproom Innovation Collaboration series was started in 2021, showcasing that the Taproom is a “Home of Innovation” for all. Past, present and future collaborations serve as a commitment to making a positive impact in the brewing industry through expanded opportunities, resources, and amplification of brewers and breweries we think you should know about. 

 Be on the lookout and save the dates for our other upcoming Innovation Collaborations this year!
