Boston Beer Co. Inc.'s (SAM) net income for the first quarter was $6.9 million, or $0.51 per share, down from $7.4 million or $0.56 per share in the same quarter last year.

Net revenue was $135.9 million, an increase of $22.7 million or 20%, over $113.2 in the same period last year, mainly due to core shipment growth of 18%.
