The only thing about Sam Adams that can be traced to colonial times is the name. The beer was invented by former owner Jim Koch in his home kitchen in the 80's. Also, The Sam Adams Beer Company is owned by a foreign company as is Anheuser-Busch, therefore it is not a true domestic brew either. The problem with suggesting Yuengling (one of my favorite beers) is that it is only available on the eastcoast from NY to Florida, thus lacking national notoriety. If I were to suggest a true domestic brew for the POTUS, it would have to be a pabst blue ribbon, a true blue collar brew.
