Over time, American beers became so popular in the colonies that many of our founding fathers — George Washington, Patrick Henry, and yes, Sam Adams — started their own breweries, and fought to boycott the import of English beer. This stance was one of many that bolstered America’s growing sense of independence — and provided a catalyst for the American Revolution and the birth of our nation. As Boston grew, and the wave of Irish immigration started in the 1820s, the city’s passion for beer only became stronger. Today, Boston is well-known throughout the world as a haven for beer lovers (and brewers). So next time you crack open a cold one (or get a perfectly poured pint on tap) — before you knock it back, take a brief moment to toast the rich history that brought that beer all the way to you.
