USA: Boston Beer Company completes major brewery expansion

The Boston Beer Company has completed a $6.5 million expansion of its main Cincinnati brewery that will now be able to produce about two-thirds of the beer brewed by the entire company, Datamonitor posted on November 22.

The brewery renovation includes the addition of new lagering and aging tanks in a new storage cellar, and two new copper brew kettles, custom made for Samuel Adams by Vendome Copper & Brass of Louisville, Kentucky.

Founder Jim Koch will name the two new copper brew kettles for his father, Charles Koch, and for his great-great grandfather, Louis Koch. "As far as I know, naming tanks is quite common in the spirits business, but I've not heard of breweries that name their tanks to honor those brewers who have gone before," Koch said.
