Text from the bottle label: Samuel Adams Boston Lager - Once small brewers like Samuel Adams crafted full-bodied distinctive American beers. Americans have since lost the true taste of great beer. Now the Boston Beer Company brings back craft-brewed beer. Following my great-great grandfather's own recipe, we use only classic ingredients: two row summer barley, Hallertau Mittelfrueh and Tettnang hops, lager yeast and pure water. We add fresh hops as the beer ages to create the rich complex character. No other American beer uses this time consuming process. (by James Koch) Brewed and bottled by the Boston Beer Company, Boston, MA.
