Item Description

The Red Sox may not have made it to the World Series, but fans are still going out of their way to honor slugger David Ortiz in a big way — with his own beer.

On Friday, 11/4/2016, Samuel Adams released a very limited edition beer, only available for sale at the company’s Boston brewery. The beer is called “Big Hapi” — a play on Ortiz’s nickname and the common beer adjective “hoppy.”

 Only 541 bottles of Big Hapi were sold, one for every home run Ortiz hit. The beer itself is a “bold mango juice-infused double IPA to pay tribute to one of the best athletes to ever play the game,” Samuel Adams said in a statement.

“Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to watch David Ortiz hit homers out of the park while enjoying a cold Sam Adams. Now, I’m excited to toast to his record-setting career with Big Hapi Double IPA,” Jim Koch, the founder and brewer of Samuel Adams, said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to honor our hometown baseball hero by doing what we do best, brewing beer, and giving craft beer and baseball fans a commemorative brew to honor an extraordinary legend.”

This 1 pint 6 oz. Limited Release Brew is bottle 070 of 541.
