Boston, Aug. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Boston Beer Company (NYSE: SAM) today announced a leadership change effective August 15, 2025.

'Michael has been with Boston Beer for nearly 10 years, first as a board member and most recently as CEO for the past year and a half,' said Koch. 'He's given us a steady leadership hand during a dynamic time for our industry, and under his guidance, we delivered one of our most profitable quarters in many years in the second quarter. I appreciate everything Michael has done for us, and we're thrilled he's going to continue to help shape our strategy as a member of our board of directors. I am confident in the strength of our management team and Boston Beer's strategic direction and remain committed to delivering long-term value for shareholders.'
'After careful reflection, I've decided to take a step back to focus on some important personal matters,' said Spillane. 'Since joining Boston Beer, I've seen the company revolutionize the craft beer and flavored malt beverage categories. It's an amazing company with a great future and I look forward to contributing to its success from my seat on the board. I'd like to thank Jim, the board, the executive team, and all of Boston Beer's coworkers for their friendship and support.'
