    For the Samuel Adams brand, indirect competition is based primarily in distilled spirits, liqueurs, and wines. Spirits typically contain 37.5% ABV or greater and are usually not infused with any flavors during the distilling process, however, some modern spirits are infused with flavors after distilling. Liqueurs, on the other hand have a slightly lower ABV and are characterized by uniquely infused flavors and high sugar content. Wine includes any alcoholic beverage that is made from fermented fruit juice and contains from 7%-18% ABV.…

    Though most companies commonly mentioned as examples of ethical and socially responsible organizations are large corporations, it is the socially responsible initiatives of small businesses that often have the most impact on local communities. These businesses generate jobs and provide goods and services for customers in smaller markets that larger firms that often are not interested in aiding. Additionally, they also provide money, resources, and volunteer time to local causes. Their owners often work as community leaders, and many choose to use their skills and the results of their successes in resolving many of the problems and issues that the community faces. One small business that does just this, is the New Belgium Brewing Company, based in Fort Collins, Colorado.…

    Grolsch Case Study

    In November 2007, SAB Miller, the world´s second largest brewer,1 announced the friendly takeover of the world’s 51st largest, Royal Grolsch N.V. of the Netherlands, for €816m in cash - 84% more than Grolsch’s value over the previous month. Nick Fell, SABMiller’s Marketing Director, explained the logic of the deal: “[Grolsch is] a fantastic brand. It’s North European, it’s a fantastic product, it’s got unimpeachable brewing credentials and authenticity and credibility. And it’s a damn good product. So for anybody interested in developing their premium beer business, this is an absolute peach of a brand to get hold of… we see huge potential for it in our global footprint, particularly in markets like Latin America and Africa where we’ve got a strong route to market but where the premium beer business is still in its infancy.”2 Grolsch had hitherto focused on developed markets, particularly the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and France, in pursuit of its goal of becoming one of the world’s top 10 global beer brands. Groslch was already the world’s 21st largest global brand, measured by international (nondomestic) volume (see Exhibit 1). International volume had grown to account for slightly over onehalf of total volume and, going forward, seemed to offer much more potential. Drinkers often rated Grolsch higher than larger brands, including Heineken, the top global brand as well as the leader in Grolsch’s home market (see Exhibit 2). And Grolsch had started up a state-of-the art brewery in 2004 that could be expanded at little incremental cost. The acquisition closed and in February 2008, Grolsch became an independent subsidiary of SABMiller. Rob Snel, head of Grolsch International since 1999 and an employee since 1984, was named Grolsch’s new CEO shortly thereafter. He had to decide what changes, if any, to recommend to its global strategy.…

    In my opinion I believe that the miller lite characters in the "beer commercial" are categorized as mens men . This is my opinion because I feel that the intended targeted audience for beer commercials are men. The message that this commercial is sending is that only "real men" care about the taste in beer and "real men" choose miller lite. The woman that is playing the role of the bartender responds to the fact that the male character is caring something similar to a purse. A purse is a symbol of a woman. By the woman bartender seeing the male character carry this carrier , she responded by implying that he might be homosexual ,therefore does not drink a "manly beer" or care for the taste of one either. This also sends a message that women…
