Craft beer of the week: Russ Brunner’s American Stout

Beer: Samuel Adams LongShot Russ Brunner’s American Stout

Style: Stout

Alcohol: 7.2 percent by volume

Price: $8 for a six-pack of 12-ounce bottles

Story: Tamarac homebrewer Russ Brunner’s stout recipe beat more than 1,000 contenders in the Boston Beer Co.’s annual Samuel Adams LongShot contest. That earned Russ’ rich, chocolatey beer a spot in the new LongShot variety pack, which also includes an India pale ale with pineapple and a smoked wheat beer.

Pairing: Brunner’s American Stout has an earthy, piney note from its hops that pairs nicely with rosemary. Try it with a roasted chicken club sandwich with rosemary aioli.
