The legendary amber lager that sparked the craft beer revolution
This iconic American craft lager boasts a rich, golden color and a complex character that has defined the brand for decades. It features a perfect harmony of sweet, toasted caramel malts balanced by a distinctively spicy and floral noble hop bitterness.



Founded by Jim Koch in Boston in 1984, the Boston Beer Company helped pioneer the American craft beer movement. Koch named the flagship lager after Samuel Adams, an American revolutionary leader who inherited a brewing tradition.
First brewed in 1984, this recipe was adapted from a historic 1870s family formula created by Louis Koch. It is brewed in a traditional brewhouse using double decoction mashing and the time-honored process of krausening.
