Jim Koch created Samuel Adams beer in 1984. Now chairman, he's known as a founding father of the American craft brewery movement.
A Harvard graduate, Koch quit his consulting job and began brewing beer in his kitchen, using his great-great grandfather's 1870s recipe.
The first batch Koch brewed was Boston Lager. He started selling the beer door-to-door at Boston bars and restaurants.
He took Samuel Adams' parent company, Boston Beer, public in 1995 and owns an 18.5% stake.
Boston Beer's brands include Dogfish Head, Twisted Tea, Angry Orchard and Truly Hard Seltzer.
Koch still taste tests every batch of beer himself.
Koch's favorite fall beer is Sam Adams Octoberfest. The company has been making it for more than 20 years.
