The story behind it
Founded in 1984 by Jim Koch in Boston, Massachusetts, Samuel Adams was created using his great-great-grandfather’s 1870s recipe. Koch helped ignite the modern American craft beer revolution by proving that rich, full-flavored lagers could thrive in a market dominated by light lagers.
The Boston Beer Company's flagship brew is produced using a traditional decoction mash and German Hallertau Mittelfrüh and Tettnang Tettnanger Noble hops. This meticulous process and dry-hopping method create its signature complex, floral aroma and rich malt profile.
