Reply to comment by Mecharonin in Author reminds Americans that Samuel Adams was a revolutionary before he was a beer by DaveOJ12

They’re referring to Samuel Adams the beer, brewed by the Boston Beer Company since the 1980s.

Yes, Samuel Adams the revolutionary probably brewed beer, but in the context of pop culture and the article it’s not the point.

Samuel Adams the beer was named after Samuel Adams the revolutionary because Samuel Adams the revolutionary was a brewer. It's a big part of the Boston Beer Company's marketing.
