Boston's Sam Adams Brewery was the site Thursday of the debut of a special Boston Marathon beer.
"26.2 Brew," named for the number of miles in a marathon, will be available at bars along the route of the Boston Marathon. It will also be available at race events.
This year's marathon is on Monday, April 16. This is the first time the Boston Athletic Association, which organizes the race, has partnered with Sam Adams.
