Abstract
This paper explains that beer-making, which is a complex process involving the conversion of grains into usable sugars and requiring much skill and patience, has not changed fundamentally in centuries. The author points out that some people believe that beer-making originated about 10,000 years ago in Africa and was apparently made then, as it is now, from cereal grains. The paper relates that beer-making is captive to a sequential process, including a variety of essential ingredients, which must be closely adhered to if it is to achieve its full potential, at least in the eyes and palates of beer connoisseurs.
From the Paper
"For their part, hops and yeast also play key roles in the creation of commendable beer. To wit, the former is a "twining vine" that grows in the summer months and is commonly eaten as a vegetable with the leaves "blanched" and used a soup. But most of all, hops serve to add "bitterness and aroma" to a beer - even if they are considered an integral part of every brewing operation. Finally, yeast is another significant ingredient in the "typical" beer and it serves to convert fermentable sugars into alcohol - and into beer flavors."

Abstract
This paper examines the business practices of the Boston Beer
Company, one of the world's most successful breweries, which has successfully implemented logistics management decision making software. The writer of this paper details how the Transportation Management Systems (TMS) software solved an ongoing problem related to inbound and outbound shipments at the Boston Beer Company. This paper illustrates how TMS not only simplified logistical decision making but also reduced costs and provided more efficient deliveries. The improvements, such as the ability to reduce or redeploy transportation staff, were felt instantly as the automation of previous manual tasks were eliminated, thanks to the successful implementation of the TMS software. The writer of this paper contends and explains why the logistics management decision processes were more prevalent on the outbound side as opposed to the inbound side. The Boston Beer Company has used its experience with their outbound logistical process to help implement an efficient and productive inbound system.

From the Paper
"The process was controlled by software that enhanced the decision making objectives of management. For example, transportation and truck utilization was an area that was greatly improved through the Transportation Management software technology. These changes brought on dramatic cost savings. "Even mid-sized companies can often drive millions of dollars to the bottom line through improved shipment optimization and execution effectiveness, while simultaneously improving customer service. The opportunity for larger companies, with annual freight budgets that may exceed $100 million dollars per year, is substantial." It was important to establish inbound logistics because of the potential savings. The most important aspect of inbound logistics is the overall process improvement."

Abstract
The paper discusses the history of beer in early civilization, in the Middle Ages, in modern times and in America. The paper describes how the first beers were different from beer we know today; they were cloudy, bitter and perhaps even filled with mash. The paper traces how those ancient beers became transformed into one of the world's most popular beverages today.
Outline:
Introduction
Beer in Early Civilization
Beer in the Middle Ages
Beer in Modern Times
Beer in America
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Some people speculate that beer first made an appearance in the world at least 9,000 years ago, but there is no written proof to back up these claims. The first written records belong to the Sumerians, who lived in the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which now encompasses Iraq. Historians believe the Sumerians discovered fermentation (the process necessary to make beer and other alcoholic beverages), totally by chance. However, they did write about their discovery, and so most historians believe the first rudimentary beers were brewed in this area."

Abstract
This paper relates that Switzerland is a country with a robust economy, good prospects and no impediments to imports. The author points out that, although geographically Switzerland is land-locked and despite the presence of the Alps, excellent transit routes connect it to the Belgian Stella Artois plant. The paper relates that, politically, the country is a stable democracy with a somewhat right-wing government that actively promote business and investment by minimizing bureaucratic hindrances to foreign investors. The author concludes that this report did not identify any facts that would seem to contraindicate expansion into the Swiss market except for the fact that domestic consumption of beer has dropped. The paper includes charts.

However, in general it is associated with the high-end beer market, which is a lucrative one."

Abstract
This paper studies beer and liquor sales, with particular reference to the United States. It includes a brief history of beer and liquor, the prohibition era and the effect it had on these industries. It also describes the marketing and advertising tools used by the beer and liquor industries and brief histories of some famous brands. Included are tables of financial information regarding consumption, sales and revenue of beer and liquor and an analysis of Anheuser-Busch, a very large beer and liquor company. Finally, the author reveals his personal opinion about the topic and a summary of the research is presented.
From the Paper
"The exact origins of alcoholic drink are rather obscure, but most historians and anthropologists suggest that, even though our ancestors may not have understood the process of fermentation at the time, alcoholic drinks were made and drunk as early as 10,000 years (or perhaps even 25,000 years) ago. Some experts have even suggested that the beginning of agriculture could be attributed to the desire of early humans to produce beer rather than food.
The discovery or making of liquor through the distillation process, of course, came much later. Nevertheless, the Chinese are known to have distilled a beverage from rice as early as 800 BC. Europeans and Arabs are also said to have produced distilled alcoholic drinks in the early days but production of distilled liquor remained limited until about the 8th century AD. Improvement in distilling techniques gradually led to greater production of distilled spirits and various governments realizing the potential of earning revenues from the sale of liquor placed controls on the production and sale of liquor. In some countries, revenue from liquor sales has been the bedrock of their economies. For example in Russia, revenue from vodka sales was more than 40% of all state revenue in the last century. More recently, towards the end of the Soviet era, vodka sales constituted 15-20% of the value of all retail trade turnovers. "

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines advertising and the art of persuasion used in the Molson Beer advertisement "I am Canadian". It asserts that beer advertisements typically employ a marketing campaign that uses sexual innuendo, such as pretty girls to sell their products. It points out however, that the Molson beer ad uses a different mechanism, which centers on nationalism and cultural determinism, rather than on the common persuasive tool of sex to market the product. The paper concludes that the ad's strong emotional appeal, embedded within a social and cultural context, makes for extremely unique and effective advertising.
Outline:
Introduction
Defining the Target Audiences
Molson Beer Advertisement: Style, Appeal, and Strategy
Relationship Between Verbal and Visual Content
Meaning and Value in the "I Am a Canadian" Ad
Prevalent Symbols Displayed in the Ad
The Role of the Molson Ad
Emotional and Intellectual Appeal of the Ad
Crucial Aspects of the Molson Canadian Advertisement
Building Relationships and Trust with the Consumer
Is the Ad Memorable?
From the Paper
"The Molson ad was in the form of a rant, which added to its overall success. The verbal style of the ad was to outline some of the major facets of Canadian culture and present them as something that individuals should feel proud of. It is interesting to note that the ad also focused on stereotypes of Canadians by Americans, and focused on dispelling some of these myths. There was also, the presentation of issues surrounding American lifestyle, and a comparison of how Canadians supposedly completed these actions differently and more effectively. Lines like "I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing. DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation", posit to the fact that the ad was trying to show the clear difference between the two cultures and was trying to evoke a sense of national pride with these statements."

Abstract
The paper shows that of the wide array of alcoholic beverages in the commercial market, wine and beer proved to be the most popular and well received by consumers. Aside from the social role that alcoholic beverages play in peoples' lives, alcoholic beverages have also health effects on the body. The health effect of wine and beer on the human health and body is the main focus of this paper. In enumerating and defining the health effects of these two popular alcoholic beverages, a comparative analysis is made of the effects of wine and beer as alcoholic beverages and their health benefits.
From the Paper
"Wine consumption in moderate amounts is also encouraged because it reduces the amount of LDL, or the 'bad cholesterol' in our bodies. Through wine drinking, these LDL present in out bodies will be reduced, thereby reducing the risks and danger these components pose to our health. Wine drinking also increases the amount of HDL cholesterol, the 'good cholesterol' in the human body. Another essential component in preventing cardiovascular diseases is the presence of omega-3 fatty acids in wine, particularly red wine. It was reported that high levels of these omega-3 fatty acids in the cholesterol could result to favorable effects against the development of cardiovascular diseases in the body (Thomas 2002). Thus, wine drinking helps prevent the increase of cardiovascular disease because of the health benefits of its alcohol content, wherein components in it play a vital role in combating the onslaught of hear-related diseases and ailments."

Abstract
This paper summarizes, explains, and analyzes the significance and the meaning of a board game created at MIT called the 'Beer Game'. The paper focuses on Chapter Three of Senge's book, "The Fifth Discipline", and how he, Senge, uses the Beer Game to address the basic question he asks in the title of the third chapter of his book.
From the Paper
"The Beer Game has been played many times and observed by Senge, and what he shows by this example is that doing the obvious thing does not produce the obvious result. The game also shows how a crisis can develop from what seemed to be logical actions taken by the participants, who also tend to end up blaming each other, thus playing out the learning failures in the average organization."

Summary
From the Paper
"Pricing will be dictated by tariffs, acceptance and marketing strategies. The aim of product pricing is to meet profitability objectives, to gain market share, and to make Samuel Adam's an acceptable alternative for current beers for the everyday life of all Argentinean citizens. "Brands and products can offer new benefits and play new roles in peoples' lives if marketers know how to identify and track key values, understand their impact on consumption behavior, and apply them to new products and advertising." (Durgee, O'Connor, and Veryzer) Placement however, will be a much targeted approach. Placement may affect pricing but the main objective will be to gain market share in the urban areas first and then advertise the success of the urban establishment to migrate into the suburban locals."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Samuel Adams brand series by The Boston Beer Company, one of the world's most successful breweries producing malt products, ciders, teas and other drinks, have become a favorite in the United States, Germany, England and throughout South America.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Mr. Hall pointed out that the Boston Beer Company works on the export price with a cost-plus method. The calculations start with a domestic manufacturing cost and adds in administration, research and development, overhead, freight forwarding, distributor margins, customs charges, and profit. Price is also determined by: projected sales, actual cost of the export, market demand and competition which will also include "nonmarket" costs like tariffs and customs fees, exclude cost elements that provide no benefit to the export function such as domestic advertising."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the Boston Beer Company and shows how by examination of its financial statement that the company has been able to sustain costs instead of increasing profit. This enables it to raise the profit margins otherwise not possible.
From the Paper
"The company maintains a 10 percent operating margins, 4 to 5 percent growth margin and 14 percent on return on capital. It also mandates half of the capital be cash. The company holds a strong stand among industry leaders but there are some pitfalls to its operation. The year 2001 proved a mixture of growth and decline for Boston Beer. Readers must note the industry has become stagnant over the last 2 years [Crouch, 2001]. The valuation of the growth rate has decreased each year. Boston Beer too has decreased in profit rate due to the decline in demand. The plus points that could be awarded to Boston Beer are its brand Samuel Adams and distribution network. For this reason the company is able to sustain its operations for quite a long time with constant injection of investment. However, investment is limited for outsiders because the company members hold most of the stock. For example Koch holds about 4.1 million B shares in the company. Outsiders like Miller Beer have tried to buy out the company through agency stock but have been unsuccessful in its attempt [Marcial, 1999]. This shows the resistant characteristics of the company against outside aggressive competitors."
