LONG ISLAND, NY - June 15, 2011 - When the science of design meets the craft of beer brewing extraordinary things can happen. That is what the folks at Sam Adams set out to do. After two years of research and thousands of hours of taste tests, a unique beer glass emerged where form definitely has function. These specially created Samuel Adams Boston Lager ® glasses were designed to help build the ultimate beer tasting experience. This Father's Day, Sunday, June 19th, the Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar restaurants in Nassau and Suffolk counties have teamed up with Sam Adams to offer a pair of these pint glasses free when dad orders a steak and brew. "We wanted to create a glass that offers beer lovers a full sensory drinking experience by fully showcasing Samuel Adams Boston Lager's complex balance of malt and hop flavors. This glass achieves that mission," said Founder Jim Koch, a pioneer in the craft beer movement. The specially engineered glasses promise to maximize the enjoyment of Sam Adams. While the glass allows dad to experience the full sweetness of the malt, it also helps retain the aroma, sustain the head, and promote proper beer temperature. One free pair of pint glasses is available with the purchase of a steak dinner and an iced cold glass of Sam Adams draft at any Nassau or Suffolk county Applebee's only on Father's Day, Sunday, June 19th while supplies last. Offer does not apply to Applebee's 2 for $20 entree specials. If you can't be with dad this Father's Day, you can send him a gift card digitally. Log on to Applebee's website or Facebook page to send an Applebee's digital gift card with a personalized audio, video or text message. You decide the amount and send your gift directly to dad's email or mobile device-or post it to his "wall" on Facebook. To locate an Applebee's near you, visit www.Applebees.com.
