Is Boston Beer a Buy?

Boston Beer (NYSE: SAM) just crossed the $1,000 stock price threshold for the first time ever as the brewer and beverage maker has gone on a year-long tear. With the stock nearly 300% higher than the low-point it hit in March -- and almost 200% above where it started 2020 -- let's see if investors should consider buying the owner of Samuel Adams beer, Truly hard seltzer, and Angry Orchard hard cider. Boston Beer has come a long way from being the premier craft brewer in the country, but today it produces far more alcoholic beverages that aren't beer than are.
