Sam Salutes 

In honor of veterans and their service, we're releasing a specialty brew: Sam Salutes, a dry-hopped American lager that’s crisp and easy-drinking. Brewed with Citra and Simcoe hops from the West Coast, it has a refreshing burst of citrus that’s complemented by a delicate sweetness from the malt to make a simple, dependable lager.  On November 9th, enjoy food from a veteran-owned business at the brewery! Code 1 BBQ – veteran-owned, women-run, family business—will be popping up and serving delicious, hearty comfort food in celebration of the holiday weekend.  To show our support, we’ll be donating to our friends at <a href="https://nechv.org/">New England Center and Home for Veterans</a> in Boston, whose mission is to equip veterans who are facing or at-risk of homelessness with the tools for economic self-sufficiency and to provide them a path to achieve successful and dignified independent living. And we’re inviting drinkers to get involved too! Let a bartender know that you’d like to buy a vet a pint of Sam Salutes and they’ll provide personalized cards to fill out! Veterans who show their Military ID will be able to redeem this card at the bar for a Sam Salutes brew (limit 1/person). Throughout the month, we’ll also have New Year’s cards for folks to fill out that will be sent out to vets to make their holiday a bit brighter. Write a custom message to show your appreciation for their sacrifice and our partners at NECHV will be sending them out to various military bases.
