The Boston Beer Company, Inc. (NYSE:SAM)

Good performer and should continue to outperform the S&P.

people staying home more.

Beer continues to be a favorite drink, and is only more coveted during a down-time in the economy.

Additionally, the S&P 500 is over-valued.

Boston and Beer, match made in heaven.

Sam Adams, always a good decision !!!

Great product, great following... I know I've personally thoroughly and tirelessly researched the majority of their product line. This should perform very well, especially with St Paddy's day and warmer weather just around the corner...

The numbers say it all. Low cost alcoholic beverages what more is there to say?

Hops shortage resulting in higher prices and lower profits.

ITS BOSTON!

This should be good for about a week, once St. PAtties day is over It's probably time to back off on investments.

Although no one, including the market "gurus" (or myself), can accurately predict where a stock is going long term, my gut feeling is SAM will outperform the S&P over the next 12 months.

The media is pushing an economic downturn and, unfortunately, the American public believes everything box tells them, so I forsee the market underperforming or going sideways for a while. In the meantime, when times are bad people consistenly do a couple of things. One of them is drink - usually more. Samual Adams beer is in high demand. They have a great marketing campaign. They are expanding all aspects of the company - production, management, marketing, profit, ect. SAM just needs to control cyclical costs as the ecomony shakes out and they should easily out perform the S&P over the next 12 months.

Taking into account the normal seasonal dip, I'm guessing (yes, no matter who is making the call whether it's the Fools or Cramer or myself, it still just a guess) 18-23%.

Hunch

Samuel Adams is currently the leader in beer innovation by developing seasonal beers with an array of spices and flavors. Many consumers have switched from the low end beers to an acquired taste of seasonal beers. Sales are up for the Boston Beer for this reason.

Great Product. Craft beer market gets larger everyday. Extensive product line that appeals to a diverse market.

Boston beer company seem to be dooing well. The y lost momentum in november but are quickly regaining it.

Anytime you have an item that people spend disposable income on where they are lagging behind demand, you are going to have solid short-term growth. There is no doubt that beer is always going to be a 'needed' commodity - right along with Tickle Me Elmo Version X.0! :)

You just can't go wrong with this choice.

Liquor is Quicker, Wine is Fine and Beer is Beer!

Growing, Great Beer and Employees are treated with the respect.

A nice future ;)

this will hopefully become the face of american beer overseas. Great brand.
