Samuel Adams
Samuel Adams is the flagship brand of The Boston Beer Company, founded in Boston, Massachusetts by Jim Koch in 1984. Koch's Boston Lager — brewed from a family recipe dating to the 1860s and first sold in 1985 — helped spark the American craft beer revolution at a time when the US market was dominated almost entirely by industrial lagers. Today the brewery produces a wide range of styles anchored by Boston Lager, including a beloved seasonal series that has become one of the most recognised craft ranges in the country.
