The year was 1984 when I was crafted and brewed to honour one of America's founding fathers, Samuel Adams. I lived up to my name by leading the American beer revolution, reviving the country's passion for full-bodied brews that are robust and rich in character. My recipe has remained unchanged and till this date, I continue to be brewed using only the finest hand-selected ingredients and a time-consuming, traditional four-vessel brewing process.
I am a perfectly balanced, original American beer with a roasty caramel sweetness and a smooth, floral, piney and citrusy hoppiness. As "the beer that started it all", I'm one of the best examples of the fundamental, great Lager.

Boston, Massachusetts, United States. However, this batch of me in particular, was brewed in England's Shepherd Neame Brewery, who are the appointed UK brewer of the Samuel Adams Boston Lager.
Samuel Adams is the flagship brand of the Boston Beer Company, the brewery that spearheaded the American craft beer revolution. The brewery opened in 1898 and has a brand name that honours America's Founding Father, Samuel Adams. As a thought leader and tastemaker for more than a generation, Boston Beer Co is currently America's 2nd largest craft brewery and releases plenty of great brews from its iconic and traditional beers to new and exciting seasonals.
