Review

Hi Anastasia!

I really enjoyed reading your article! I made a few minor copyedits in regards to spelling/grammar changes. I thought your article was really put together well and there is honestly not much more that I would suggest you add, I think it has a lot of information already. One thing that I think you may be able to elaborate more on would be your "media" section as it is the only one that seems to be lacking in information in comparison to the other sections. I really liked the table you had under "collections" I think it makes the page look more professional. Overall great job, I really enjoyed reading your article and didn't know Sam Adams had so many kinds of beer! Sabbatessa (talk) 00:05, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Original recipe???

"Company founder Jim Koch's great-great grandfather's recipe."

The company's own advertising website is a primary source, and extremely biased; hardly a reliable source. And now Kock has announced that he's changed the recipe, and they're advertising is also bragging about it. It's not really a good idea for fans of a beer to turn Wikipedia into a fan magazine advertising the brewery. 172.58.221.228 (talk) 03:43, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Inherited Brewery or Malt house?

Did he inherit a brewery? This seems to be at odds with the article on Samuel Adams the man, which says his family owned a malt house and that they were maltsters, rather than brewers! 95.145.86.127 (talk) 08:54, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
