Boston Beer Company

Talk about a dramatic change.

In 2005, the Boston Beer Company made about $15.5 million, and every year increased profit by about $3 million per year. Suddenly in 2008 they didn't make nearly as much. They went from $22.5 million in 2007 all the way down to $8 million in 2008.

Just as quickly as they dropped in 2008, they rose in 2009 to a surprising $31 million. That is a bit more than what they made in 2008 and 2007 combined. They just about double their profit from 2005.

From 2008 to 2009, they had a profit increase of about 285%.

Martin F. Roper, President and CEO made a total of $1,049,303, compared to his last years compensation which included a large amount of money in stock options
totaling $7,415,918.
William F. Urich made a total of $766,768.
