Initially, Koch rented excess capacity and brewed the beer at the Pittsburgh Brewing Company. As sales increased Koch developed other contract arrangements at various brewing facilities with excess capacity. To reduce reliance on contract brewing Cincinnati's Hudepohl-Schoenling brewery was purchased in early 1997).
In 2007, the Boston Beer Company purchased the former F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company brewery in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. By 2012, the Company was producing two-thirds of all its beer at the Breinigsville facility, and it has increased brewing capacity there. The Boston Beer Company also has a small R&D brewery located in Boston (Jamaica Plain), Massachusetts, where public tours and beer tastings are offered.

Best before April 2026.
Pours black with some red hues, a finger of tan foam, good retention and lacing.
Smell is coffee, roasted malt, leaning towards the bitter side.
Taste is coffee, roasted malt, some lactose, finish is a bit strange. Milky bitter.
Mouthfeel is a bit thin. Good enough but I can do without it.
