Samuel Adams honoring Tom Brady with 'Greatest of Ale Time' beer

Posted on 03/12/2022 11:51:09 AM PST by mylife

Long before quarterback Tom Brady guided the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl title in February 2021, he had established himself as the G.O.A.T. while leading the New England Patriots to six championships.

Samuel Adams is honoring the beloved Patriots legend with a special brew.

As Will Katcher explained for MassLive, Samuel Adams will begin a presale Saturday at noon ET for its "Greatest of Ale Time" New England Double IPA. Purchases can be made at the Sam Adams Boston Brewery and taprooms, and also on the brewery’s website.

Fans will have to be quick, though, as the brewery is only releasing 199 cases of its "G.O.A.T.," a nod to how the Patriots originally acquired Brady via the 199th selection of the 2000 NFL Draft. Cans of the beer first available for order on Saturday feature the head of a goat, but the actual beverage won't be available until March 28 -- yes, 3/28, the deficit Brady and the Patriots famously erased to defeat the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI.

Katcher notes the ale contains 7% alcohol by volume to represent the seven total Super Bowl rings Brady earned throughout his once-in-a-generation career.

There's no word if this gesture will lead to Brady ever signing a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Patriots.

Does it deflate the minute you open the bottle? I’m asking for a friend.

Brady had the greatest career as a QB but celebrity culture goes way over the top in idolization. Once you become one according Homer Simpson you know everything. FR is one of the best antidotes to that culture.

Did he pay licensing fees to TB12?

If not, he should sue the hell out of the brewery. He has a name to protect!

Brady is but a mere shadow of Eli Manning the GOAT-slayer...

Pumpkin ANYTHING is not palatable to me.

I utterly LOATHE pumpkin. Even the smell is unpleasant.

My buddy owns a brewery, and his son tried to use me as a guinea pig for his pumpkin beer. Just like you, a couple of sips and down the drain it went. I asked him to kindly warn me next time he tried to poison me (BG).

Those who like pumpkin, bully for you! You can have my share.
