Business

Introduction

The Boston Beer Company, Inc., was founded in 1984 as a craft brewery. The company is in the business of selling alcoholic beverages. The Company manufactures alcoholic beverages, including flavored malt beverages, hard soda, beer, hard cider, ready-to-drink drink-based spirits and distilled spirits, at company-owned breweries and their ciders and at other production facilities under contractual arrangements. The four major breweries owned by the Company focus on production and R & D, including breweries in Boston, Massachusetts, Cincinnati, Ohio, Milton, Delaware, and Braenigsville, Pennsylvania. The Company also operates smaller local breweries that focus primarily on brewing and packaging beer for on-site retail sales at tap rooms and gift shops, restaurant events, and the development of innovative and traditional beer. The company sells its drinks in a variety of packages. In addition, the Company owns Apple Orchard and Cider in Walden, NY, a restaurant in Rehoboth, Delaware, and a boutique lodge in Lewis, Delaware.
