Samuel Adams is inviting brewers nationwide to apply for its annual Brewing & Business Experienceship, offering mentorship for craft brewery founders through its philanthropy program, Brewing the American Dream. In its effort to support food and beverage entrepreneurs nationwide, each year the Experienceship offers one up-and-coming craft brewer the opportunity to access resources and support from Boston Beer Co. staff. The program culminates in a collaboration beer release brewed together with the brewers at Samuel Adams Boston Brewery.
“Winning Brewing the American Dream’s Experienceship has been better than we could have ever imagined,” said Judy Neff, the 2022 Experienceship winner and co-founder of Checkerspot Brewing Company. “The mentorship from experts across Samuel Adams and The Boston Beer Company is so valuable to a smaller brewery like Checkerspot, at a critical time in our brewery’s growth.”
The Brewing the American Dream is now accepting applications through April 10th for the 12th iteration of the Brewing & Business Experienceship program.
Select finalists will be invited to the second annual Crafting Dreams Beer Bash in New York City this summer to share their stories and beer with Samuel Adams representatives and media while drinkers can influence the next winner.
