Kinds Of Beer
From small businesses to large companies: Boston Beer Co. Samuel Adams
To keep things simple we'll just refer to the company as Sam Adams, which is as they are known to most of the public drinking beer anyway. Sam Adams was founded by Jim Koch in 1985 in Boston, Massachusetts. He named the beer after the famous American patriot of the Revolutionary War by the same name Samuel Adams, who also happened to have a brewer of beer. Also can say that Jim Koch is famous in many ways too. The most important thing is your time.
You see Jim Koch founded Sam Adams at a very unfavorable. Sam Adams began operating as the U.S. Craft Beer Movement was exploding in the United States. Within ten years of the founding of Sam Adams there were over 600 other craft brewery companies also known as microbreweries operating in the U.S. and Sam Adams was at the forefront of the movement.
So Where does the recipe for Sam Adams Boston Lager originate? The same recipe was developed in 1860 by Louis Koch, Jim Koch's great-grandfather. He sold the beer under the name Louis Koch Lager until Prohibition years and again during the 1950s. Finally, the recipe was given to Jim Koch, who then with the help of Joseph Owade man that is given credit for the invention of light beer reformulated the recipe. When completed the Boston Lager was born.
In 1989, Sam Adams was selling 63,000 barrels of beer a year the demand increases every year. During the 1980s he won many awards for being voted the "Best Beer in America" in the "Great American Beer Festival." In 2008 what began as a company with a lager beer had become a manufacturer of beer with 20 different types of beer. During the years that have experimented with a number of seasonal beers and specialty beers.
Today is Sam Adams company as well known as any other beer company in America. And they are at the forefront in experimenting with new ways to tempt the palate. They capitalize on the spirit American patriotism while honoring our founding fathers would have enjoyed a Sam Adams beer as much as the rest of us. Jim Koch in the construction of Sam Adams brewery helped change Americans' taste for beer. He showed the public that something better could be had and helped lead a new American revolution in the process.
So whatever your business does or will not be afraid to be different and stand out. To be lost in the crowd does not lead anywhere. Whatever it is that you should strive to be better and stand out from the rest.
