NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The Boston Beer Company, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the business of
brewing, marketing, and selling beer and ale products throughout the United
States and select international markets. The accompanying consolidated
financial position as of September 27, 1997 and the results of its consolidated
operations and consolidated cash flows for the interim periods ended September
27, 1997 and September 28, 1996 have been prepared by the Company, without
audit, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 28, 1996.
UTILIZATION OF ESTIMATES
To prepare the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. In
particular, the Company records reserves for estimated product returns, for the
valuation of inventory, and regarding the collectibility of accounts receivable.
Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used by
management.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 1996, certain expenses which were previously
classified as general and administrative expenses were reclassified as
advertising, promotional, and selling expenses. All prior period financial
information has been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.
Certain other period amounts have also been reclassified to conform with the
current year's presentation.
MANAGEMENT'S OPINION
In the opinion of the management of the Company, the Company's unaudited
consolidated financial position as of September 27, 1997 and the results of its
consolidated operations and consolidated cash flows for the interim periods
ended September 27, 1997 and September 28, 1996, reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present
fairly the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for
the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results
expected for the full year.
B. SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS:
Short term investments include marketable equity securities having a cost of
$4,289,000 and $4,286,000 and a market value of $2,421,000 and $3,844,000 at
September 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996, respectively. This resulted in an
unrealized loss of $1,868,000 and $442,000 at the end of the respective periods.
In addition, the Company has investments in U.S. Government securities having a
cost of $33,314,000 and $32,082,000 at September 27, 1997 and December 28, 1996,
respectively, which approximate fair value.

=============== ================
D. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
During 1996 and 1997, the Company entered into several forward exchange
contracts to reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing foreign
currency denominated assets, liabilities, and firm commitments. The duration of
the contracts match the duration of the currency positions. The future value of
the contracts and the related currency positions are subject to offsetting
market risk resulting from foreign currency exchange rate volatility. There
were no material gains or losses on the contracts in the nine months ended
September 27, 1997. It is the intention of the Company to enter into such
foreign exchange contracts periodically.
E. DEBT
On March 21, 1997, the Company entered into a credit agreement to increase its
existing $14,000,000 line of credit to $15,000,000 ("the $15,000,000 line") and
to establish an additional $30,000,000 line of credit ("the $30,000,000 line").
On March 31, 1999, the $15,000,000 line expires and the balance outstanding
under the $30,000,000 line converts to a term note. Principal payments on the
term note are payable in twenty quarterly installments, with the final payment
due at maturity, December 31, 2003. Through March 31, 1999, interest is payable
quarterly on both the $15,000,000 and $30,000,000 lines at either the Prime Rate
or the applicable Adjusted Libor Rate plus .50%. After March 31, 1999, interest
on the term note is payable quarterly at either the Prime Rate or the applicable
Adjusted Libor Rate plus .75%.
As of September 27, 1997, $4,274,864 and $10,000,000 are outstanding under the
$15,000,000 and $30,000,000 lines, respectively, at an average interest rate for
the quarter of 6.54%. The Company must pay a commitment fee of .15% per annum
on the average daily unused portion of the total $45,000,000 commitment.
Additionally, the Company is obligated to meet certain financial covenants,
including the maintenance of specified levels of tangible net worth and net
income.

F. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128) and No.
129, "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure" (SFAS 129). SFAS 128
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings
per share and is designed to improve earnings per share information and increase
comparability of per share data on an international basis. SFAS 129 requires
the disclosure of certain information about an entity's capital structure which
would include a brief discussion of rights and privileges for securities
outstanding. These standards will be effective for financial statement periods
ending after December 15, 1997.
The Company has reviewed the adoption and impact of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" and SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure",
but does not expect either recent accounting standard to have a material impact
on the Company's results of operations or its financial position.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for the three and nine-month periods ended September
27, 1997 as compared to the three and nine-month periods ended September 28,
1996. It should be read in conjunction with the "Consolidated Financial
Statements" of the Company and related "Notes to the Financial Statements"
included in this Form 10-Q. On March 1, 1997, the Company acquired all of the
equipment and other brewery related personal property of an independent brewing
company located in Cincinnati, Ohio. This Cincinnati Brewery is currently
managed by the Samuel Adams Brewery Company, Ltd., a wholly owned affiliate of
the Company. The results of operations of the Samuel Adams Brewery Company,
Ltd. are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since
the date of acquisition.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
28, 1996
Sales volume increased by 21.4% from 294,000 barrels in the three months ended
September 28, 1996 to 357,000 barrels in the three months ended September 27,
1997. This increase was due primarily to the inclusion of 53,000 barrels in
1997 of non-company products, produced and sold by the Samuel Adams Brewery
Company, Ltd. beginning March 1, 1997. Net sales increased by 5.4% from
$46,112,000 in the three month period ended September 28, 1996 to $48,617,000 in
the three month period ended September 27, 1997. Net sales increased primarily
due to the increased volume for Boston Beer Company's branded products, and to a
lesser extent, the inclusion of sales to others by the Samuel Adams Brewery
Company, Ltd. as well as the implementation of selected price increases to the
company's wholesalers. Net sales were also positively impacted by the
reclassification of all royalties earned year to date from other income to
revenue.
Gross profit increased by 14.7% from $23,211,000 in the three months ended
September 28, 1996 to $26,617,000 in the three months ended September 27, 1997.
Cost of sales decreased from 49.7% of net sales in the three months ended
September 28, 1996 to 45.3% in the three months ended September 27, 1997. This
decrease is primarily due to favorable raw material and packaging costs as well
as a decrease in certain other costs, such as net deposits and benefits from
reused returnable glass. No inferences should be drawn from the reduction in
cost of sales for the quarter.
Advertising, promotional, and selling expenses in total increased by 1.7% from
$17,118,000 in the three months ended September 28, 1996 to $17,415,000 in the
three months ended September 27, 1997. This increase was primarily attributable
to an increase in sales salaries and related benefit expenses, and an increase
in promotional spending. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in
advertising and travel expenses. As a percentage of net sales, total
advertising, promotional, and selling expenses decreased from 37.1% in the three
months ended September 28, 1996 to 35.8% in the three months ended September 27,
1997.
General and administrative expenses increased by 32.8% from $2,402,000 in the
three months ended September 28, 1996 to $3,190,000 in the three months ended
September 27, 1997. This increase is primarily due to the inclusion of the
Samuel Adams Brewery Company, Ltd. which is not reflected in our 1996 numbers.
As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses increased from
5.2% for the three months ended September 28, 1996 to 6.6% for the three months
ended September 27, 1997.
Other income (expense) net, for the three months ended September 27, 1997, was
($243,000), representing a decrease of $680,000 vs other income net, for the
three months ended September 28, 1996. The decrease is due to a charge for the
repurchase of certain overseas distribution rights, the reclassification of all
royalties earned year to date to revenue and an increase in interest expense due
to increased borrowings against the revolving line of credit.
9
THE BOSTON BEER COMPANY, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income increased by 41.5% to $3,248,000 in the three months ended September
27, 1997 compared to $2,296,000 in the three months ended September 28, 1996.
The combined effective tax rate decreased to 43.7% in the three months ended
September 27, 1997 compared to 44.4% in the three months ended September 28,
1996, due primarily to a lower projected income level for 1997.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 27, 1997 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28,
1996
Sales volume increased by 12.3% from 913,000 barrels in the first nine months of
1996 to 1,025,000 barrels in the first nine months of 1997. This increase in
1997, was due to the inclusion of 144,000 barrels of non-company products
produced and sold by the Samuel Adams Brewery Company, Ltd., beginning March 1,
1997. Despite this, net sales decreased by 2.1% from $143,312,000 in the first
nine months of 1996 to $140,310,000 in the first nine months of 1997, as sales
of products produced by the Samuel Adams Brewery Company, Ltd. to others are
made at prices much lower than those of other Company products.
Gross profit increased from $71,481,000 in the first nine months of 1996 to
$71,732,000 in the first nine months of 1997. Cost of sales decreased to 48.9%
of net sales in the first nine months of 1997 from 50.1% of net sales in the
first nine months of 1996. This decrease in cost of sales as a percent of sales
was primarily due to favorable raw material and packaging costs and a shift in
the core business package mix towards kegs, which resulted in decreased
packaging material costs.
Advertising, promotional, and selling expenses in total increased from
$51,488,000 in the first nine months of 1996 to $51,802,000 in the first nine
months of 1997. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in sales
salaries and related personnel and travel expenses, and the costs of promotional
materials, partially offset by lower purchases of point of sales material, and
lower advertising spending. As a percentage of net sales, total advertising,
promotional, and selling expenses increased from 35.9% in the first nine months
of 1996 to 36.9% in the first nine months of 1997.
General and administrative expenses increased by 11.7% from $8,251,000 in the
first nine months of 1996 to $9,217,000 in the first nine months of 1997. This
increase is primarily due to the inclusion of the Samuel Adams Brewery Company,
Ltd. which is not reflected in our 1996 numbers. As a percentage of net sales,
general and administrative expenses increased from 5.8% in the first nine months
of 1996 to 6.6% in the first nine months of 1997.
Other income (expense) net, decreased from $1,241,000 in the first nine months
of 1996 to $411,000 for the first nine months of 1997. The net decrease is due
primarily to a charge for the repurchase of certain overseas distribution rights
and an increase in interest expense due to increased borrowings against the
revolving line of credit.
Net income decreased by 14.2% to $6,263,000 in the first nine months of 1997
compared to $7,297,000 in the first nine months of 1996. Income taxes decreased
by $825,000. The combined effective tax rate was 43.7% in the first nine months
of 1997 compared to 43.8% in the first nine months of 1996.

THE BOSTON BEER COMPANY, INC.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first nine months of 1997, the Company recorded net income of
$6,263,000, and net cash used in operating activities was $2,448,000. This
$8,711,000 is primarily due to increases in accounts receivable, inventory, and
a reduction in accounts payable, and were offset by a decrease in other current
assets and an increase in accrued expenses.
During the first nine months of 1997, the Company used $15,663,000 in investing
activities. This primarily reflects the purchase of fixed assets, consisting of
brewery and packaging equipment for the Cincinnati brewery and the addition of
new sankey kegs.
During the first nine months of 1997, the Company generated $13,051,000 from
financing activities which primarily reflects amounts borrowed against the
Company's revolving lines of credit. As of September 27, 1997, net borrowings
were $14,275,000. On July 15, 1997, the Company repaid the remaining $1,875,000
owed under the MIFA loan.
The Company's management believes that working capital as of September 27, 1997
of $39,246,000 (of which 91.1% is in cash and equivalents and short term
investments), in conjunction with existing lines of credit, should be sufficient
to meet the Company's operating, capital, and debt service requirements through
the next twelve months.
RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128) and No.
129, "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure" (SFAS 129). SFAS 128
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings
per share and is designed to improve earnings per share information and increase
comparability of per share data on an international basis. SFAS 129 requires
the disclosure of certain information about an entity's capital structure which
would include a brief discussion of rights and privileges for securities
outstanding. These standards will be effective for financial statement periods
ending after December 15, 1997.
The Company has reviewed the adoption and impact of SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" and SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure",
and does not expect either recent accounting standard to have a material impact
on the Company's results of operations or its financial position.
SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q filing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Such forward-looking statements are based on management's current
expectations and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other
