New Boston Beer CEO sees promise in Sun Cruiser iced tea vodka, Hard Mountain Dew

Boston Beer has been working for years to diversify beyond the beer it’s best known for: Samuel Adams. In an ever-more-crowded market, success in branching out has sometimes been mixed, though Spillane showed optimism in Sun Cruiser.
