The Boston Beer Company

Happy 4th from all of us at Boston Beer! How are you celebrating this Independence Day?

Last week, we joined the Pink Boots Society National Conference in Philadelphia! Featuring a keynote speech presented by our Social Impact Leader & Dogfish Head Co-Founder Mariah Calagione, plus a panel discussion on training your palate by Samuel Adams Boston Taproom's Head Brewer Megan Parisi, we had a wonderful few days connecting with industry peers and sipping some beers. Thank you Pink Boots Society for having us and for creating this community focused on supporting women in our industry. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eraK4Rny

Earlier this month, our Samuel Adams Pennsylvania Brewery Golf Committee hosted the 15th annual "Swinging for a Cure” Golf Tournament, raising more than $25,000 for The ALS Association Philadelphia Chapter. The event is inspired by the legacies of Steve Flintosh and Bill Barnhart, two Boston Beer coworkers who lost their battles with ALS. We honor them by fundraising for a cure. “This is as much a community effort as it is a brewery effort,” remarks Jess Ashby, member of the Samuel Adams Pennsylvania Brewery Golf Committee. “In addition to the 40 volunteers that planned and hosted, this year we had 28 sponsors - including the Sam Adams and Angry Orchard brand teams - that helped make this event a success.” Thank you to the sponsors and coworkers who came out for a great cause and a great time! 🏌️ Visit the ALS Association online to get involved: https://lnkd.in/e_Tc_twe

Thirty-five years ago today -- on June 24, 1989 -- we officially opened our doors in Jamaica Plain where Gov. Michael Dukakis (pictured here with Jim) served as leadoff hitter at our grand opening event. We’re proud to maintain our roots in Jamaica Plain to this day! Happy birthday, Sam Adams Boston Brewery. 🥳 Learn more about the history of Boston Beer: https://lnkd.in/en8vSZ8H

As we usher in the dog days, let us reminisce on some of our favorite summer memories, starting in '95! This was the year Sam and Mariah Calagione opened the first Dogfish Head brewpub - Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, DE.   Two years (and a few weeks) later, fans were welcomed to the Dogfish Head Brewery grand opening music festival on Nassau Commons - now that's a pretty sweet way to celebrate a 2nd birthday!   Today marks 29 years of off-centered goodness for off-centered people and the anniversary of some of our favorite places to grab a pint! Happy Birthday Dogfish Head. 🍻

Last week, we announced Crowns & Hops Brewing Co. as the winner of Brewing the American Dream’s 13th Brewing & Business Experienceship. This winning small business was selected at last week’s Crafting Dreams Beer Bash at the Sam Adams Boston Taproom where they and five other finalists from across the nation poured a beer of choice and shared their personal stories. Crowns & Hops showcased “The Dopest” Hazy IPA, referenced by voters as a distinct yet crisp, clean beer that complements the brewery’s visionary mission to create cultural equity in the craft beer space. Crowns & Hops Brewing Co. is a proud Black-owned, woman-owned, and veteran-owned brewery based out of Inglewood, CA, co-founded by Beny Ashburn and Teo Hunter.
