Brewed in collaboration with the Boston Athletic Association, the name 26.2 Brew refers to the mileage of the marathon. In the glass, the beer is a gose ale, a style native to Germany that's known for being both a little sour and a little salty. This light-bodied ale has hints of citrus and peppery spice, and is brewed with coriander. In 2019, the recipe for 26.2 Brew was tweaked with the help of marathoners Meb Keflezighi and Des Linden. The beer is available on draft and in cans at Samuel Adams' Faneuil Hall and Jamaica Plain taprooms, throughout race weekend at the Run Pub in City Hall Plaza, and key accounts in Greater Boston.
