Boston to Brew in Latrobe

Beverage Industry News» Beverage Industry Newsposted Apr 3rd, 2007 12:00:00AM by Pat Hagerman

The Boston Beer Company announced today that it has signed an agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of City Brewing Company to brew some of its beer in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

Boston Beer and City Brewing will immediately begin work to upgrade the brewery.

“This agreement gives us increased flexibility,” said Martin Roper, President & CEO of The Boston Beer Company. “With increased interest from drinkers in high-quality, full flavored craft beers like Samuel Adams, our sales grew 17% in 2006. We felt it was important that we arrange additional brewing capacity to augment what we can brew in our other brewing locations and provide security and flexibility of supply while we continue to review our long-term brewing strategy. We chose the Latrobe site because it has a classic brewhouse and because of our solid partnership with City Brewing at their brewery in La Crosse, Wisconsin dating back to 2002.”

This agreement with City Brewing Company is not expected to have an impact on brewing operations at the Company’s breweries in Boston and Cincinnati.

“We continue to evaluate all our long-term brewing options, including building or buying capacity or entering further partnerships. We have retained engineering consultants to assess the feasibility, design and costs for a brewery on a site in Freetown, MA, and are in the process of obtaining preliminary bids. We remain in the due diligence phase to determine whether building a brewery on that site is feasible and will be the Company’s best long-term brewing option. We currently expect to complete this assessment this summer.”

The addition of The Boston Beer Company as a partner in Latrobe will ensure the historic brewhouse will be restarted. Boston Beer’s investment in the Brewery is expected to be between $3m and $7millon.
