Samuel Adams is sold nationwide through wholesalers, and much of it is brewed at the Boston Beer plant in Breinigsville in the Lehigh Valley. In Pennsylvania look for cases and kegs at beer distributors, six-packs and twelve-packs at licensed grocery and convenience stores, and Boston Lager on draft at bars. In Maryland most beer is sold at liquor stores, since few grocery stores there hold a beer license. In West Virginia it is in grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations. The Find a Sam page on the website searches by zip code.
