The Boston Beer Company, brewers of Samuel Adams beers, announced that Adam Walsh, a homebrewer from Massachusetts, and his recipe for an IPA (India Pale Ale) beat out entries from all over New England to win the 2008 Patriot Homebrew Contest.

"Adam's IPA is terrific," said Samuel Adams Brewer and Founder Jim Koch. "It's not easy to brew an IPA that has a lot of flavor and maintains its balance, but Adam got it just right."

The company stated that, with Walsh s help, Samuel Adams will brew his Patriot Homebrew IPA at its Boston Brewery to be served at the Samuel Adams Brewhouse in Gillette Stadium during the entire 2008-2009 football season.

The Boston Beer Company has long been a champion of homebrewing, and has helped homebrewers across the country realize their dreams with programs like the Samuel Adams American Homebrew Contest making winning recipes available to beer drinkers nationwide.

In addition to bragging rights and the opportunity to pour his own beer for friends and fans at Gillette Stadium, Walsh wins a cash prize of $2,000.
