Samuel Adams (Boston Beer Company)

Samuel Adams is the brand name for beers produced by the Boston Beer Company () and its associated contract brewers. The brand name of Samuel Adams (often abbreviated to Sam Adams), was chosen in honor of Founding Father Samuel Adams, an American revolutionary patriot who authored the Massachusetts Circular Letter and the ''Boston Pamphlet'', co-inspired and later publicized the Boston Tea Party, and who signed the Continental Association, the Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation, and also a second cousin to president John Adams. According to tradition, Adams was also a maltster.〔Most historical evidence suggests that Adams worked as a maltster and not a brewer; Stanley Baron, ''Brewed in America: The History of Beer and Ale in the United States'' (Boston: Little, Brown, 1962), pp. 74–75. However, Ira Stoll in ''Samuel Adams: A Life'' (New York: Free Press, 2008; ISBN 978-0-7432-9911-4; ISBN 0-7432-9911-6), p. 275n16, notes that James Koch, founder of the Boston Beer Company, reports having seen a receipt for hops signed by Adams, which indicates that Adams may have done some brewing.〕
Based on sales in 2011, the Boston Beer Company is tied with Yuengling for the largest American-owned beermaker.〔("Boston Beer Company ties Yuengling for Largest )" Accessed April 26, 2012.〕
==History==
The Samuel Adams brand began in 1984 with ''Samuel Adams Lager'', a 4.8% abv amber or Vienna lager.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Samuel Adams Boston Lager )Jim Koch, the sixth-generation, first-born son to follow in his family's brewing footsteps, brewed his first batch of the beer in his kitchen, using the original family recipe for ''Louis Koch Lager''. At the time, Koch was working at Boston Consulting Group after receiving BA, MBA and JD degrees from Harvard University. At Harvard, Koch met Harry Rubin and Lorenzo Lamadrid. Both Rubin and Lamadrid were graduates of Harvard Business School. In December 1984, Koch left his career at Boston Consulting Group and along with Rubin and Lamadrid, founded the Samuel Adams brewery. As co-owners, Koch, Rubin, and Lamadrid played different roles.〔〔〔 Shortly thereafter, they optimized the recipe with the help of Joseph Owades, the man credited with the invention of light beer in the 1970s.
The brewery was named after the Boston patriot Samuel Adams, who fought for American independence, and who also had inherited a brewing tradition from his father.〔 In March 1985, the beer was re-introduced as ''Samuel Adams Boston Lager'', at the re-creation of the first battle of the American Revolution on Patriot's Day. Three months later, it was voted "Best Beer in America" at the Great American Beer Festival, in which 93 national and regional beers competed. The publicity that followed helped the Boston Beer Company's sales grow to 7,393,000 liters (63,000 barrels) in 1989. The beer was first put on tap at Doyle's Cafe in Jamaica Plain.
The brand was first produced under contract by the Pittsburgh Brewing Company, best known for their Iron City brand of beer. Over the years, the brand has been produced under contract at various brewing facilities with excess capacity, ranging from Stroh breweries, Portland's original Blitz-Weinhard brewery (shuttered in 1999), Cincinnati's Hudepohl-Schoenling brewery (eventually purchased by the Boston Beer Company in early 1997), and industry giant SABMiller. The Boston Beer Company also has a small R&D brewery located in Boston (Jamaica Plain), Massachusetts, where public tours and beer tastings are offered. The brewery occupies part of the premises of the old Haffenreffer Brewery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Former Haffenreffer Brewery - Ghost Signs on Waymarking.com )
In the mid-1990s, Jim Koch returned to his hometown of Cincinnati to purchase the Hudepohl-Schoenling Brewery, where his father apprenticed in the 1940s. This was also one of the first steps the company took to reduce reliance on contract brewing.
The company's success occurred in conjunction with the U.S. craft beer movement. By 1995, some 600 independent breweries were producing speciality beers in the United States. That year, The Boston Beer Company went public, selling shares of Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, under the ticker symbol, "SAM". These shares, however, have minimal voting rights. Instead, the company is controlled through its Class B Common Stock, of which Koch owns 100% of the shares.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://phx.corporate-ir.net/External.File?item=UGFyZW50SUQ9MjMwNjcyfENoaWxkSUQ9LTF8VHlwZT0z&t=1 )〕 Boston Beer launched Hardcore Cider in 1997, and Twisted Tea brand in 2000. In 2012 Boston Beer Company launched Angry Orchard hard cider company based in Cincinnati, Ohio, replacing Hardcore Cider.〔http://beerstreetjournal.com/boston-beer-company-to-launch/〕
The Brewers Association — the trade association representing small and independent American craft brewers — list the Boston Beer Company #1 on their top 50 craft and overall brewing companies in the U.S., based on beer sales volume and the craft brewer definition in 2013.〔(BREWERS ASSOCIATION LISTS TOP 50 BREWERIES OF 2013 )〕
The company has 1,325 employees in its Boston, Cincinnati and Breinigsville, Pennsylvania breweries.〔
