I thought the Boston Beer Company (a/k/a Sam Adams) didn't open until the 1980's? The whole owner shops it bar to bar story, right?

I was under the impression that Yeungling was the oldest operating brewery in the country and Molsen was the oldest in North America.

True true.....but who cares when you've got beer

See if you can get Henry Weinhards out there. Great beer and it use to be cheap. If I am not mistaken it was similar. This is going back to 96' so I may be wrong on the profile but I know it was good stuff.

My parents live in Lucedale, MS...been to Mobile several times, Yuenling for the most part with a little Abita Springs thrown in just for that hometown feel.

Yeungling has a premium line also in the brown bottles, its actually less for some reason, but I prefer the Greens

The "Yeungling Premium Beer" title is a little misleading, it is not any more "premium" than the Lager is - just a different brew (pilsner style).

I agree, I didn't want to just come out and say it "SUCKS"!!!

I was under the impression that Yeungling was the oldest continually operating brewery in the country and Molsen was the oldest in North America.

The name Boston Beer Co. went unused for about 20 years. It shut down in the 1960's. At that time, it was the oldest continuously operating beer company. When Jim Koch started up Sam Adams he recycled the name as an homage to local (Boston) beer history.

Not a lot of people know this but Boston was once the capitol of American beer brewing. In the year 1900, there were over 30 breweries in Boston which was more breweries per capita than any other city in the country at the time.

That is interesting, I am a bit of a beer nerd and I've never heard that before. Do you have any more information, google is not turning anything up for me...

In terms of the original Boston Beer Co?

Yes, exactly. I'm just curious to learn more about it. (bar trivia

Unfortunately, I don't have any references to give you for this information as it was relayed to me by Jim Koch. There is PLENTY of old Boston Beer antiques around the Sam Adams brewery in Boston.

The one other tid-bit I do have to share is that the last known place of business for the original BBC is the old Heffenrefer brewery in Boston which is the current R&D center for Sam Adams.

I'm at the brewery now and there's an antique beer can here from Boston Beer Co. The can is from "Boston Light Ale" and says established 1828.

Ahh...now when I punch in "Boston Beer Co + 1828" I get some results, before all I was getting was the new Boston Beer Co...
