Boston Beer Company, Inc. (SAM) on Tuesday said it entered into an agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of City Brewing Company to brew some of its beer in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Boston Beer said the company and City Brewing would immediately begin work to upgrade the brewery by purchasing equipment to allow for Samuel Adams' traditional brewing process, use of proprietary yeasts and extended aging time, and beer bottling and kegging. Brewing of Boston Beer products is expected to begin during the second quarter.
The company added that it does not expect the agreement with City Brewing Company to have an impact on brewing operations at the company's breweries in Boston and Cincinnati.
