BBC HISTORY

In 1984, Jim Koch discovered his great-great grandfather's recipe for Louis Koch Lager in his father's attic.

Samuel Adams began with a potentially terrible idea...which is actually how most fun ideas begin. Jim Koch quit his job to brew beer in his kitchen. This was 1984, when good American beer was as common as good American style. It was risky, but Jim believed Samuel Adams could provide American drinkers a much better beer option than they have had. 36 years, over 3600 beer awards, and a craft beer revolution later, Samuel Adams continues to be the forefront of brewing quality, creativity, variety, and innovation.
