Samuel Adams, one of the Founding Fathers of Craft Beer!


Thu Apr 30, 2015 – Sun May 31, 2015

Join us in celebrating American Craft Beer Week (May 11-17, 2015). This is an opportunity to celebrate the culture and community contributions and to recognize today's craft beer lovers who are responsible for the ever-advancing beer culture in America.

Celebrate American Craft Beer Week with Samuel Adams!

Samuel Adams began in 1984 with a generations-old family recipe that Founder and Brewer Jim Koch uncovered in his father's attic. Inspired and unafraid to challenge conventional thinking about beer, Jim brought the recipe to life in his kitchen. Pleased with the results of his work, Jim decided to sample his beer with bars in Boston in hopes that drinkers would appreciate the complex, full-flavored beer he brewed fresh in America. That beer was aptly named Samuel Adams Boston Lager, in recognition of one of our nation's great founding fathers, a man of independent mind and spirit. Little did Jim know at the time, Samuel Adams Boston Lager soon became a catalyst of the American craft beer revolution.

Today, Samuel Adams brews more than 60 styles of beer. It relentlessly pursues the development of new styles and the perfection of classic beers by searching the world for the finest ingredients. Using the traditional four vessel brewing process, the Company often takes extra steps like dry-hopping, barrel-aging and a secondary frementation known as krausening. The Company has also pioneered another revolution, the 'extreme beer' movement, where it seeks to challenge drinker's perceptions of what beer can be.
