...himself on his Hopfen beer, which is so fresh it never enters a keg. "We brew it in one room and pipe it right into the next," he says. That might seem much too limited to Jim Koch, whose Boston Beer Co. sold 24,000 bbl. of Samuel Adams lager last year. Purists may look askance at Samuel Adams because it is a "contract" brand, actually brewed by Koch in Pittsburgh...
...very small outfit in Massachusetts, an enterprising Boston pub called the Commonwealth Brewing Co. Ltd., which turns out a variety of sturdy ales and porters for consumption on the premises. It is true that the somewhat misleadingly named Boston Beer Co. sells Samuel Adams, a good, chewy boutique lager that yuppies buy for nearly $7 a six-pack on payday, but the stuff is made in Pittsburgh. To the north, Maine Coast Brewing sells a tart, beer-flavored beer called Portland Lager at a stiff $5.35 a pack, but despite the sea gull, lighthouse and sailing ship on its label...

Now it has five--Coors, Coors Light, Herman Joseph 1868, Golden Lager, and Killian's Irish Red. In 1977 Coors sold 14 million barrels of beer in 11 states. In 1984 Coors sold only 13.2 million barrels in 37 states and the District of Columbia. Meanwhile the company's advertising budget has increased by a factor of almost 20. Coors is vulnerable. By joining the boycott now students and others can help keep the pressure...
