Food Entrepreneur GREENSBORO, NC. — Sippin Snax Gourmet Bar Snacks, a maker of seasoned peanuts and snack mixes designed to pair with wine, beer and cocktails, has partnered with Boston Beer Co. to launch Samuel Adams Boston Lager Craft Peanuts.

The product was developed as part of the Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream program, which was created in 2008 by Boston Beer Co. founder Jim Koch to support food and beverage entrepreneurs. Since its inception, Brewing the American Dream has collaborated with Accion Opportunity Fund and other non-profit organizations to loan more than $99 million to more than 4,100 small business owners in the food, beverage and hospitality industries and provide coaching and mentorship to more than 14,000 entrepreneurs, helping to create or maintain more than 9,000 jobs, according to the company.

“Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream was founded on the belief that our passions are worth pursuing and should be shared,” said Jennifer Glanville Love, director of partnerships and collaborations at Boston Beer Co. “We are so thrilled to be collaborating with Sippin Snax, a small business that embodies that belief in the shareworthy and tasty snacks they craft. This special offering, infused with the malty and hoppy notes found in our Samuel Adams Boston Lager, is a true reflection of the magic that can happen when passionate food and beverage entrepreneurs are able to thrive.”

Sippin Snax hit the market six years ago under the name Hops and Nuts, served in breweries and wineries across the country. As the pandemic instantly shuttered such establishments, the business was repositioned for direct-to-consumer and grocery store sales. The brand’s assortment of seasoned peanuts includes Beer Salted, Chocolate Porter, Savree Herb, Vineyard Red and Lager ‘N Lime. An additional offering, Peppa Snax Craft Mix, combines roasted peanuts and miniature pretzels flavored with a blend of five peppers and fresh hops, and honey hop sesame sticks. Each product is balanced to complement a specific pour.  

“We are excited to partner with Samuel Adams Brewing the American Dream to launch our newest product, Samuel Adams Boston Lager Craft Peanuts,” said Melissa Wallace, founder and chief executive officer of Sippin Snax Gourmet Bar Snacks. “We understand the significance of innovative and enticing offerings in the ever-evolving food and beverage landscape. Sam Adams Boston Lager Craft Peanuts combine the rich, distinctive flavor of Samuel Adams Boston Lager with the premium quality and artisanal craftsmanship of Sippin Snax Gourmet Bar Snacks. The result is a truly unique and delicious snack that perfectly complements the drinking experience.”

Sippin Snax Samuel Adams Boston Lager peanuts may be purchased online at sippinsnax.com and brewingtheamericandream.com and will be available at select retailers nationwide.
