Luke at BlogAboutBeer.com reminds us that it’s once again time to help select the Sam Adam’s Beer Lover’s Choice addition to the Brewmasters’ Collection:
Each year since 2005, Samuel Adams — you know, the largest American-owned & operated brewery in the world — has created a beer called the ‘Beer Lover’s Choice’ to be included in their ‘Brewmasters’ Collection’ 12 packs. In 2005 it was their Brown Ale, in 2006 the Honey Porter, and in 2007 the Irish Red.
So what will 2008’s Beer Lover’s Choice beer be? The choice is between a Blackberry Witbier — brewed traditionally with orange peel & coriander seeds and with a touch of blackberry flavor — and a coffee stout, brewed with smoked malts and aged on a bed of whole Rwandan coffee beans.
Click to find out more about the 2008 Sam Adams Beer Lover’s Choice race, find a tasting session near you & vote for your favorite. Then look for the winner in the ‘Brewmasters’ Collection’ 12 packs later this year.

I took a look at the Events page. It looks like the last one this month in Maine is at Old Orchard’s Jimmy the Greek’s on Friday. Unfortunately, I’ll be on my way to New York for a wedding that weekend. There’s one in Portsmouth in August though. Maybe that’ll have to do. I’m pretty sure I’ll be voting for the coffee stout, but it doesn’t hurt to try both.
