Sam Adams and Brooklyn Brewery made a savage playoff bet

There’s nothing like a good bet to keep a fierce rivalry interesting, and as the Red Sox face the Yankees in Game 4 of the playoff series Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium, two breweries are putting their pride — and the name of one of their beers — on the line.

Jamaica Plain-based Samuel Adams, owned by Boston Beer Company, tweeted at New York’s Brooklyn Brewery on Friday night with a wager: The founder of the losing team not only has to toast with the winning brewery’s beer in a video, it will also have to rename a beer in its respective tap room in honor of the winning team.
