Boston Beer subsidiary Alchemy & Science may be launching their 4th initiative following Angel City Brewery, Traveler Beer Co & Just Beer Project). An interesting twist and some great investigative reporting coming from the MiamiNewTimes:
There are some nuggets floating around in the public domain. A basic keyword search through the website of the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations using the term "Boston" reveals that a company by the name of A & S Brewing Collaborative, Inc. has been registered in the state. Boston Beer Corporation is listed as its manager.
Another search under the United States Patent and Trademark Office website using the keyword "Miami" lists an entry by the name of Miami Artisan.
Further probing reveals that A & S stands for Alchemy and Science, which appears to be a collaboration between between Magic Hat Brewing Company founder and former owner Alan Newman and Stacey Steinmetz, who also formerly worked for Magic Hat.
Newman and BBC founder Jim Koch, who have been friends for several years, joined forces in October 2011 with Vermont-based A&S to become an independently-operated subsidiary of Boston Beer Company.
