Okay, I will say more... in my personal opinion, Sam Adams is the best mass-produced beer in the United States. Other Fool's have commented that Sam Adams has gotten too big for its britches - that ...

While wine sales have been eating into beer's market share, Sam Adams' business has remained pretty steady. Its best growth days may be behind it, but it has a very loyal following and continues to put out a consistently high-quality product. It does...

Please ignore the news from SAM! They feel their CGS is going to be pushed higher due to the cost of barley. However, SAM is by far a very strong underdog in the beer market. They are a sure bet for the long haul, get in now as the price is down.
