Samuel Adams continues his trend of working with Boston sports legends to produce beer that reflects not only the player, but the passionate fan base they played for under the lights.
This time, the beloved brewery teamed up with Vince Wilfork, the ex-New England Patriots star defensive tackle, to release a beer with a playful twist on his name.
The “Vince Grill-Fork Lager,” a limited-edition Viennese-style lager made to go with grilled meats, was created just in time for football season. And Wilfork’s former team is playing well, tied with the Buffalo Bills for the AFC East lead at 4-2 through six games.

“New England football is all about passion and perseverance,” said Wilfork, the two-time player Super Bowl champion with the Patriots, said in a statement. “That’s what inspired Vince Grill-Fork Lager with Samuel Adams. It’s for the fans who never sit outside on a Sunday, who grill loud, cheer loud and celebrate every victory together.”
Sam Adams describes the lager as ‘soft, bold and full of flavour’, just like the other beers the brewery produced together with athletes.

The first was the “(Derrick) White Ale” featuring Boston Celtics star guard Derrick White. The brand then parted ways with a Boston Bruins legend, Brad Marchand, after he was traded to the Florida Panthers last season. Before he helped the Panthers win the Stanley Cup, the “Marchand(y)” was born.
And before this new partnership with Wilfork, new Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman was quickly introduced to his new city with “Bregman’s Beer” during baseball season.

“Vince Wilfork shares our passion for community, and together we have created a brew that celebrates the taste, fun and spirit of New England football,” Samuel Adams Head of Brand Lauren True wrote in a statement.
Wilfork played 11 of his 13 NFL seasons in New England, recording 16 sacks and 517 tackles (37 for loss) and earning five Pro Bowls during his time there. He also earned his only first-team All-Pro honors during the 2012 season, while earning three second-team All-Pro honors.
