Before 1774 Samuel Adams was a man who probably was not a very good citizen in the Colony. His father was a man who wore many hats and encouraged Samuel to settle down and become something. Samuel Adams delivered beer to taverns from his father's brewery, was a tax collector and a bankruptcy clerk until he met John Hancock.
