Samuel Adams Alpine Spring & Blackberry Witbier Returning In New Cans / Updating American Light, Summer Ale, East Coast IPA, Boston Lager, Blueberry Lager & Porch Rocker

This morning, I have your very first peek at the new packaging for returning beer in new packaging from Samuel Adams in Boston, Massachusetts. Alpine Spring will remain an unfiltered lager that hits a sessionable 5.5%-AbV & 18 IBU, and Blackberry Witbier will remain a blackberry Belgian-style wheat ale with spices that will hit 5.5%-AbV & 10 IBU. Both of these Samuel Adams Vintage Brew beers will be packaged in 12-oz cans, and stay tuned for 2026 release details. I’ve also added in the latest packaging for American Light lager (4.2%-AbV, 7 IBU, 12-oz cans), Summer Ale (5.3%-AbV, 8 IBU, 12-oz cans), East Coast IPA (6%-ABV, 16-oz cans), Boston Lager (5%-ABV, 30 IBU, 12-oz cans), Blueberry Lager (5.5%-ABV, 15 IBU, 12-oz cans), and Porch Rocker lemon radler (4.5%-AbV, 8 IBU, 12-oz cans).

Label Text Samuel Adams Alpine Lager:

“First brewed in 2011, this unfiltered lager balances bright citrus and hop character. It’s as clean and crisp as a spring morning and, like spring itself, only available for a limited time.”

Label Text Samuel Adams Blackberry Witbier:

“Bursting with blackberry flavor, this fruit-forward fan favorite is an ode to traditional Belgian brewing. It’s slightly sweet, tart, and back for a limited time only.”

About Samuel Adams:

Samuel Adams is a leading independent, American craft brewer that helped to launch the craft beer revolution. The brewery began in 1984 when Founder and Brewer Jim Koch used a generations-old family recipe to brew beer in his kitchen. Inspired and unafraid to challenge conventional thinking about beer, Jim brought the recipe to life with hopes drinkers would appreciate the complex, full-flavor and started sampling the beer in Boston. He named the flagship brew Samuel Adams Boston Lager in recognition of one of our nation’s founding fathers, a revolutionary man of independent and pioneering spirit. Today, Samuel Adams is one of the world’s most awarded breweries and remains focused on crafting the highest quality beers through innovation and experimentation in the relentless pursuit of better. Samuel Adams remains dedicated to elevating and growing the American craft beer industry overall, including providing education and support for entrepreneurs and fellow brewers through its philanthropic program, Brewing the American Dream, which helps others pursue their American Dream.

Our Story

Our passion for never settling, and brewing quality, flavorful beers started with our founder, Jim Koch. He brewed the first batch of Boston Lager in his kitchen – a recipe that belonged to his great great grandfather that he found in his father’s attic back in the early 1980’s.

But, even though we grew, we continue to be an independent craft brewery that’s committed to brewing only the best-crafted beers for our drinkers.

At our Boston Brewery, we’re still trying new things every day; some good, and, well, some not-so good. We learn from the process, and never give up on the journey towards the next tasty beer. It’s our commitment to you that keeps us innovative, inspired, and striving to become better every single day.
