Boston Beer Co. Pounds Estimates Because Sam Drinkers Pound IPAs

There's never a bad time for a cold Sam Adams (aside, from, of course, the approximate time you're probably viewing today's news): shares are up double digits over the last month, as the Boston Beer Company has reversed a slide and pushed its stock back to break even, in part on a heady earnings report last month. India Pale Ales are pushing Sam Adams' sales, and the increase in revenue is earning the notice of big beer: craft breweries like Boston Beer Company are guzzling market share, taking up eight percent of beer sales. This could put smaller brewers on the auction block next.
