    The sales for Lite were impressive but it found that majority of its consumers were moderate drinking, 25-44 year old, upscale professionals. However, Lite was successful because its value proposition of the beer being ‘light’ appealed to this older, upscale demographic than their intended target because they interpreted the message as an opportunity to drink without getting slowed down mentally or physically. Also, their choice of media, i.e., advertising during sports shows, reached this segment equally well.…

    The Boston Beer Company

    • 17 Pages

    Overview The Boston Beer Company has had amazing success in its transition from a small scale microbrewer to a large scale national brewery. Almost all of the company’s success is due to the Samuel Adams Lager product line, which has hardly changed from the founding of the company in 1984, to the IPO in 1995, to the present day. In fact, much of the appeal of Samuel Adams comes from its microbrew image and the founder, Jim Koch’s, commitment to the brewing process and a premium beer. In recent years, however, the company has implemented a new strategy for growth which has included introducing a light beer that will have more mainstream appeal. While this has increased profits for the company, it has also left the company vulnerable to entry by diluting its brand name. For this reason, the company’s strategy for the immediate future has to make a significant shift, from a strategy of growth to a strategy of protection. It must focus on maintaining its current profits by preventing entry both from small breweries looking to copy the BBC’s strategy and from large breweries looking to use their expansive resources to steal some of BBC’s market share.…

    Beer: Beer was not invented, it was discovered. Exactly when the first beer was brewed is unknown but there was almost certainly no beer before 10,000 BCE. The rise of beer was closely associated with the domestication of the cereal grains rom which it is made and the adoption of farming. Beer originated in the Fertile Crescent in Egypt and Mesopotamia. To beer drinkers in the Neolithic period, beer’s ability to intoxicate and induce a state of altered consciousness seemed magical. This caused them to believe beer was a gift from the Gods. Since it was a gift from the gods, it was presented as a religious offering in religious ceremonies, agricultural fertility rites, and in funerals by the Sumerians and Egyptians. One turning point in history is that beer might have played a role in the adoption of agriculture, according to some anthropologists.…

    Beer was discovered accidentally in Mesopotamia and Egypt when humans were transitioning from the period of being hunter gatherers to farmers. During this time, people found that cereal grains were a dependable source of food that could be stored for long intervals of time, and were looking for ways to do so; since water sometimes got into their storage containers, people learned that grain immersed in water would taste sweet, producing beer. Another discovery was that gruel left alone for a few days fermented, also creating beer. Having learned the pleasure of beer, Mesopotamians and Egyptians added different flavorings to the drink, and used it for various occasions.…

    The discovery of beer happened around 10000 BCE. The hunter-gatherers, located in the Fertile Crescent, collected cereal grains because they could be stored for a number of months if kept dry and safe. The storage of grains made it harder to have a nomadic lifestyle; therefore the people started staying in one place. They would try to make water tight storage areas, however water did eventually get into them. After the grain would get wet and the people would cook it, it turned into gruel and when that was left sitting around for a few days it would turn into beer. Beer became important because it was safer to drink, due to the fact that you cooked it which got rid of bacteria. In the Sumerian and Egyptian societies beer was used in religious ceremonies, agricultural fertility rites and funerals. In Egypt beer was used as a currency, for example the workers who built the pyramids were paid in beer. Also, the use of beer as a currency made it become synonymous with prosperity. Egyptians then started to greet each other with the expression “bread and beer”, meaning good luck.…
