We believe in everything we do.
At Samuel Adams®, our love for quality craft beer starts with the ingredients. We work closely with growers to track the progress of the hops and determine the exact right time to harvest. We hand select the best of the year's crops. And we ship our ingredients when the temperatures on the Atlantic are at their coldest - to keep the hops fresh.
Of course, our attention to detail doesn’t stop there. We do hundreds of measures, readings and quality assurance checks throughout the over five week beer making process to ensure the beer is exactly the way it should be. In fact, our craft brewers meet every morning for a tasting panel to check the quality of each batch. If the beer seems up to snuff, it is faced with one final taste test: Jim Koch himself.
Even after our craft beer has left the brewery, we still keep a watchful eye on it. We go into bars and perform thousands of draft quality checks every year to make sure the beer passes our standards. We check the draft lines for cleanliness, the temperature, glassware and the keg storage conditions. From ingredients to glass, we want to make certain that each pint of Samuel Adams® beer is as good as the last.
