A half-pint compared to mega-brewers like Anheuser-Bush InBev, The Boston Beer Company holds the distinction of being America's largest microbrewer. It produces some 30 seasonal and year-round varieties of craft-brewed beers at its Cincinnati and Boston breweries. Annually, it sells almost 2 million barrels of lager (such as its flagship Samuel Adams Boston Lager), ales (other Samuel Adams brands), HardCore brand cider, and Twisted Tea malt beverages. The company distributes its brews primarily in the US, but they are also sold in Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, Israel, and the Pacific Rim countries. Chairman C. James Koch owns some 32% of the company; investment firm Neuberger Berman owns about 12%. To read the full description, subscribe now.
