Essay Question How was a Beer Influenced by Samuel Adams? Samuel Adams is a well-known character in our history books, but his name is also shared a well-known beer. While Samuel Adams the man was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1722, Samuel Adams the beer was created in 1985 in the same city (Frankel, Samuel Adams and the American Revolution) (Boston Brewing Company, Samueladams.com). What prompted the naming a beer after a historical figure? The founder of Samuel Adams Boston Lager, Jim Koch, said that he “chose the name because Samuel Adams was a Boston firebrand, a revolutionary thinker who fought for independency” (Boston Brewing Company, Samueladams.com). What made Samuel Adams so revolutionary? For clarification, a firebrand is a person who passionate about a certain cause and while in actuality he wasn’t much of a brewer, Samuel Adams was very passionate about America’s war for independence. He had attended Harvard and “studied the so-called natural-rights philosophers, Locke, Sydney, Harrington, [and] Pufendorf” which influenced his view of American rights (Frankel, Samuel Adams and the American Revolution). In the 1760’s, Samuel Adams worked with other colonists to protest British tyranny as a group called the Loyal Nine (Schweikart, A Patriot 's History of the USA). The Royal Nine, which later became the Sons of Liberty, was led by Samuel Adam to “perform some of the more unsavory revolutionary tasks,
In 1776, Adams devoted himself completely into the issues about American independence. A resolution, namely the Declaration of Independence, claimed that actions should be taken to make sure that every citizen of the United States should live in the "happiness and safety", was passed by Congress. Adams, as the writer of the introduction of the Declaration as well as one of the editors of the draft, spelled out the principle of independence. While because of his belief that the cause of independence was more important than some phenomena at that time, he did not protest when Congress cut the denouncement of slavery from the Declaration, although he was a lifelong opponent of it. Even though he was considered to have made little contributions to the details of the Declaration of Independence, according to Thomas Jefferson, he served as "the pillar of its support on the floor Congress." (John Adams)

After Adolphus Bush immigrated to the United States, he got married into the Anheuser brewing family. He used and subsequently registered the name Budweiser as a trademark. A few years after Adolphus Bush did this, a new brewery was established in Budejovicky Budvar and its beer was officially named and registered as Budweiser. This Budweiser is considered by beers experts to be a greater beer than the American Budweiser. (College Term Paper)

The purpose of this research paper is to analyze Sam Adams and the global craft beer market. I will apply microeconomic models to analyze the supply and demand conditions for Sam Adams, its price elasticity of demand for products, cost of production and the overall market. There will be recommendations to maximize future profits and sustain success for Sam Adams. In this paper I will also analyze the craft beer industry and recommend actions for better management of supply and demand, improving the cost of production and the different barriers of entry that Sam Adams can utilize to impact its future in the craft beer industry. Applying the concepts of variable and fixed costs, I will make recommendations for its output decisions and profitability that will help them succeed in a monopolistically competitive market structure. In the conclusion of this paper I will make recommendations to manage future production and sustain its success, as well as evaluate the business structure and effective decision-making strategies. The craft beer industry is a monopolistic competition because it has the ability to allow many firms to produce similar good or services, but it at the same time allows each firm to make independent production decisions and differentiate their product from the competition by creating its own pricing.

Beer has a long history. In 2000 B.C.E., Sumerians had prepared eight different beer types, ranging from “strong,” “red brown,” and “good dark” (Mauk, 2013). Breweries have created their own recipes, brewed their own beers—some with alcohol, some without. Over the past few years, craft beer gained steady market share away from the national and international breweries (Murray & O 'Neill, 2012). Separating one beer from the next is the product itself, and what the product has to offer. Competition is ferocious due to more informed, sophisticated consumers, as well as globalization and the spread of technology (Murray & O 'Neill, 2012).
