With Summer just around the corner, the Boston Beer Company has released their new seasonal variety pack. The 2017 version is called American Summer, and has a couple of old classics and few new beers.
There are only two repeats from last year and the rest are all different with some being brand new and others making reappearances. Before we get to the beers, a little heads up about the Kashrus info. Although two of the beers do appear on the current LOC, the Star-K has yet to update their LOC and therefore, I am going to go by the labels as I have done in the past.
The Beers Are:
- Boston Lager (Star-K Certified*, and on Label) Classic Vienna Style Lager
- Summer Ale(Star-K Certified*, and on Label) American Wheat Ale
- Hefeweizen (Star-K on Label) Classic German Wheat Ale
- Berliner Wiesse (Star-K on Label) Tart German Wheat Ale
- Tropic of Yuzu (Not Recommended)* Exotic & Juicy Wheat Ale
- Golden Hour (Star-K on Label) Helles Lager
*Update 5/25/17* Thanks to Shraga Teichman for the update, (Email from Star-K)
I hope this helps you choose good Kosher Craft Beer.
*As per current LOC Feb. 2017

Why is the tropic of yuzu the only one without a star k? To my knowledge and the crc lists I've seen, this is the only Sam Adams I've seen without a star k on it?
ReplyDeleteGood question. The crc only lists the beer with the Star-K, but not the not approved ones. Over the years there have been many beer put out by Sam Adams that weren't Star-K approved. Check out my post from last year's Summer Variety Pack, where 2 beers weren't recommended. And it was (and still is)listed on Star-K's beer list.
DeleteWhat does not recommended mean?
ReplyDeleteIt means that the Star-K is not approving it as kosher.
