Boston Beer Company was founded in 1984 by Jim Koch and Rhonda Kallman. Koch came from a long line of family beer makers, so he set out to make a unique, American style beer. The original beer was Samuel Adams Boston Lager. The name comes from the Boston patriot Samuel Adams who, in addition to fighting for independence, was an avid beer brewer.
Today, the company is the second largest brewer in America, with $903 million in revenue in 2014, along with nearly 1,400 full time employees. The company went public on the NYSE under the ticker symbol: SAM in 1995. These shares have no voting rights, however, as the Boston Beer Company holds 10 percent of the Class B Common Stock shares.
In 2008, Koch began the Brewing the American Dream program, which has helped more than 4,000 entrepreneurs launch their dream of owning their own businesses.

I am with a law firm in Philadelphia and issued a subpoena to the Breinigsville, PA office to ascertain the employment records of an employee who has filed a personal injury lawsuit (not involving Sam Adams); to date they have been non responsive. Please let me know to whom the subpoena for the personnel file can be issued. Thank you.

Will be selling my stock on Monday. You just lost a 25 year Sam Adams customer with your politically biased celebration of a very left wing supreme court member.
