Episode 18
As the founder of the Boston Beer Company - makers of Sam Adams and many other brands - Jim Koch was an early pioneer in the craft brewing industry. Not one to mince words, his father’s reaction to the news that his son was starting a brewery was rather blunt. However Jim’s father was also a fifth generation brewer whose advice would be critical to the success of the Boston Beer Company.
