Boston-Area Mayor Declares War On Sam Adams Brewery After Owner Praised Trump

[txradioguy]

The mayor of Somerville, Massachusetts, is leading a charge to boycott Sam Adams -- a native Boston brewery named after one our nation's Founding Fathers -- after the owner, Jim Koch, had the temerity to praise President Donald Trump for his corporate tax cuts.

The Boston Business Journal reports that Koch dined with Trump -- and 12 other major American executives, including the CEOs of FedEx, Johnson & Johnson, and the virulently Democratic outgoing CEO of PepsiCo -- at Trump's New Jersey golf club last week.

As part of his prepared remarks, Koch noted that Trump's tax cuts have empowered small business owners, and evened the playing field for American corporations, and particularly breweries, seeking to compete on a global level.

“Now we have a level playing field, and we’re going to kick their ass,” Koch said.

That was simply too much for Somerville mayor, Joe Curtatone, who took to Twitter to vow revenge against the suddenly-more-profitable Boston brewery.

I seem to recall the Sam Adams brewery did something within the past couple years that outraged conservatives (it's escaped my feeble brain, however), and boycotts were demanded from "our" side then.

Whatever. It still tastes pretty good.

Mayor Curatone looks more like a Zima drinker anyway.

Yeah,  some kind of spritzy beverage.
