- When Sam Adams was first brewed, it was indeed brewed in Pittsburgh by the
- 'Boston Brewing Company'. This information was and still is on the back of
- the bottles' label, although the labels do now read that the beer is brewed
- in Boston. So, maybe the owners of Sam Adams Beer are suing over the the
- brewery in Boston IF they have the name of the Boston Brewing Company.
- Others?
