He seemed a bit less comfortable Friday night, at least at first, introducing his new beer, (Derrick) White Ale, to the media.<\/p>\n<p>Standing behind the bar and in front of a mess of TV cameras at Samuel Adams\u2019s downtown Boston brewery, White struggles to pour a pint that doesn\u2019t feature too much foam. Assured by staffers that it isn\u2019t his fault, White proceeds to go through four or five glasses before landing the money shot.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DCkZn03ORve\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.boston.com&amp;rp=%2Fsports%2Fboston-celtics%2F2024%2F11%2F20%2Fderrick-white-sam-adams-beer-commercials%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A3932.5%2C%22ls%22%3A332.29999999701977%2C%22le%22%3A3915.2999999970198%7D\" height=\"1059\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully I didn\u2019t mess it up too bad for everybody,\u201d White apologizes.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the night goes better.

Every once in a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked what he knew about brewing prior to filming the ad in which he brews his namesake beer, White says \u201cnot much. I still don\u2019t to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a Sam Adams press release, (Derrick) White Ale \u201ccombines refreshing coriander and orange peel with adventurous spices like rose hips and tamarind, making it the perfect drink to celebrate the season and support our hometown favorite.\u201d A white ale is an established style (think Allagash or Blue Moon), so naming a beer after the Celtics\u2019 White wasn\u2019t much of a stretch. For the beer nerds out there, this one is 5.3 percent alcohol by volume and available at Samuel Adams tap rooms in downtown Boston and Jamaica Plain.<\/p>\n<p>Filming for Sam Adams and diving into Boston\u2019s \u201ctownie\u201d culture has given White more insight into the region. Asked what still surprises him about living in New England, White says, \u201cThe accent, that\u2019s still hard to get used to. And the driving definitely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked to name one thing he loves about living here, White says, \u201cLobster rolls. The hot, buttered ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After talking to the media upstairs, White heads to the ground floor of the taproom and pours pints for more than 100 fans who have gathered for the opportunity to be in the same room as a Celtics player. This time, after only a few minutes of practice, White\u2019s pours are nearly perfect.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the viral Samuel Adams beer commercials, Celtics guard Derrick White admits \u201cI\u2019m not a regular beer drinker.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":9721,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
