Somerville Mayor To Abstain From Boston Beer Over Pro-Trump-Tax-Cut Comments
New Boston Post ^ | August 14, 2018 | Matt McDonald

Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone is vowing to boycott Samuel Adams beer for the rest of his life because company co-founder Jim Koch touted the Trump tax cuts during a meeting with the president last week.

"I will never drink Sam Adam's beer again!"

"We need to hold these complicit profiteers of Trump's white nationalist agenda accountable!"

Honestly, EVERY single business in the USA profited from the Tax Cuts.

So is he boycotting, well, EVERYTHING?

Or only those thankful to have more money to spend on their enterprise, which helps hire working people in the end, as all the new purchasing, building, buying, etc. adds to economic activity and job hiring?

Seriously, hate Trump all you want idiot, but leave businesses and the rest of us out of your mental issues.

Yeah, they were on my boycott list after that. This is not enough to redeem them.

Expensive piss water. The breweries of west Michigan put out a superior product without all the PC posturing.

Mayor Curtatone is smug and forgetful. Smug, because he’s been mayor for quite a few years, considers Somerville his little fiefdom. Forgetful, as someone with an Italian surname. Doesn’t he know how much the Italians were discriminated against a few generations ago? Most these Italians entered the country legally.
He’s down in Central America now, wasting tax dollars.
Looking for reasons to justify his Sanctuary City.

Is there a beer hall in Somerville? Someone should go and attempt a putsch, after downing a few steins of Sam Adams. Ein Prosit!

Curtatone has a bad case of TDS. He needs to see a doctor.

Never cared for Sam Adams beers. I like their Cherry Wheat in small doses but that’s about it.

More of a Labatt’s Blue drinker when I do drink beer.

Redbones BBQ and Downtown Wine and Spirits in Davis Square are worth a visit.

So many social satirists outof work, and this guys hogs the show by doing self-parody.

Sam Adams products have been dead to me since their participation in the Sex for Sam contest some 15 years ago.

Jim Koch is an ass.
