About Me
Jim Koch created Samuel Adams beer in 1984. Now chairman, he's known as a founding father of the American craft brewery movement. A Harvard graduate, Koch quit his consulting job and began brewing beer in his kitchen, using his great-great grandfather's 1870s recipe. The first batch Koch brewed was Boston Lager. He started selling the beer door-to-door at Boston bars and restaurants. He took Samuel Adams' parent company, Boston Beer, public in 1995 and owns an 18.5% stake. Boston Beer's brands include Dogfish Head, Twisted Tea, Angry Orchard and Truly Hard Seltzer.
