"[The book] is a frosty mug full of sound advice for turning passion into a great business." - Tony Hsieh, New York Times bestselling author. ".Every entrepreneur and aspiring entrepreneur will find useful and sage advice between the covers of [the book] - and Jim's personality, wisdom, and sense of humor come through in his writing as crystal clear as a pint of Sam Adams Lager." - Sam Calagione, President and Founder of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. "Like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, and the other greats, Jim Koch's entrepreneurial journey is motivated by a deep commitment to making superb products and building a unique culture that reinforces innovation and risk-taking.

The lessons will be invaluable for anyone starting a business or building a career." - Bill Hambrecht, Cofounder of Hambrecht & Quisat and Chairman of WR Hambrecht & Co. "This is an engaging and well-written blend of stories from a beloved company's founding and sound guidance on surmounting common dilemmas faced in business and in life." - Publishers Weekly. "Pull up a chair and crack open a Sam Adams. It's time to leave behind business as you know it. Jim Koch is the founder of The Boston Beer Company, brewer of Samuel Adams Boston Lager, and key catalyst of the American craft beer revolution. Now he offers his unique perspective when it comes to business, beer, and turning your passion into a successful company or career. In 1984, it looked like an un-winnable David and Goliath struggle: one guy against the mammoth American beer industry. When others scoffed at Jim Koch's plan to leave his consulting job and start a brewery that would set out to challenge American palates, he chose a nineteenth-century family recipe and launched Samuel Adams. Now one of America's leading craft brewers, Samuel Adams has helped redefine the way Americans think about beer. In [the book], Koch offers unprecedented insights into the whirlwind ride from scrappy start-up to admired public company. His innovative business model and refreshingly frank stories offer counterintuitive lessons that you can apply to business and to life. Koch covers everything from finding your own Yoda to his theory on how a piece of string can teach you the most important lesson you'll ever learn about business. He also has surprising advice on sales, marketing, hiring, and company culture. Koch's anecdotes, quirky musings, and bits of wisdom go far beyond brewing. A fun, engaging guide for building a career or launching a successful business based on your passions, [the book] is the key to the ultimate dream: being successful while doing what you love. So, are you quenching your own thirst - or someone else's?" - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
