Brewer’s soaked for N.Y. violation

THAT’S A LOT of dough for some suds!

The maker of Sam Adams beer and several other popular malt beverage brands has agreed to $975,000 in penalties for failing to register their brands with the State Liquor Authority, officials announced Thursday.

Authority officials first noticed in 2016 that American Craft Brewery, a subsidiary of brewing giant Boston Beer Company, had registered only one of its products — Twisted Tea Summer Blueberry — for sale in New York State.

An investigation revealed that numerous unregistered products were being sold across the state, including numerous varieties of Angry Orchard, Twisted Tea and Sam Adams brands.

Boston Beer Company officials blamed the unregistered products on a “clerical error.”
