(Boston, MA) – Label approval came through for Samuel Adams Boston Lager and Samuel Adams Summer Ale in 12 oz. cans this week. The brewery announced earlier in the week that Boston Lager is slated for 12-pack cans and we can presume a similar package for Summer Ale. Boston Beer Company Chairman, Jim Koch, cautioned on Wednesday’s Q4 2012 earnings call that cans are still a new thing for the brewery and that the timeline isn’t set in stone as they learn the process.
Strange that the can says “Brewed and BOTTLED by…”
I guess they forgot to change that part.
Summer label looks strikingly similar to a beer already being canned called Flagship ale by the Grey Sail Brewing of Rhode Island brewery
