and to think Boston was once a hotbed of Patriotism

BOSTON (WCVB/CNN) - A neighbor of the Samuel Adams brewery in Boston has hung up a sign aimed at shaming the brewery's founder for his remarks at a dinner with President Donald Trump.
The sign says “Shame!” and “Sam Adams (heart) Trump.” It’s a response to Jim Koch, the founder of Sam Adams producer Boston Beer Company, endorsing Trump’s tax cuts.
The sign is visible from the brewery parking lot. The person who hung it said he wants an apology from Sam Adams' CEO himself.
"It's only been up a couple of days,” said Jeremy Phillips, who created the sign. “I've heard people sort of talking about it, saying 'What? What do they mean by that?'"
Phillips has lived next to the brewery for more than a decade. This is their first neighborly dispute.
"The brewery itself is not happy about the negative attention,” he said. “And that's part of what we're hoping - is that it will trickle up to their CEO."
Koch attended a dinner for business leaders in New Jersey last week, hosted by the president.
"The tax reform was a very big deal for all of us,” he said then. “Eighty-five percent of the beer made in the United States is owned by foreign companies."
Phillips said it was upsetting that Koch, whom he called a “generous” member of the community, would overlook other Trump administration policies in favor of the tax cuts.
"He's generous in this community, which is why I'm so troubled that he's prioritizing tax cuts over the rest of the damage,” Phillips said....

The immaturity of Leftists marches on..........
Wow. Protesting a guy who likes tax cuts.
Because we cannot allow anyone other than Progressives in power.
Just nuts.
I’m torn because I have been boycotting Sam Adams since they pulled out of the Saint Patrick’s day parade because of the former gay March ban.

Bought a case yesterday
WHAT GD damage? Singlehandedly stopping or curtailing an invasion? Rooting out government corruption? Tell me what GD damage!
Great beer, especially with crab cakes or a great steak. Gonna go out and buy two twelve packs. If 4 or 5 K others in the US do this too— a spike in sales as “Approval” registered.
What morons the leftists are— truly. This man worked his entire life to bring this brand up. One of the original home brew to manufacturing... who is RIGHT to want tax cuts to expand his business and his life.
He's making them work!
Guy is a libturd dope!
I’ve always liked Sam Adams beers, now I’m gonna have to go out of my way to order Sam Adams in restaurants. Which poses a problem for me because I’ve been favoring Yuengling since they stood up for POTUS at the beginning of his Presidency.
My sobriety hangs in the balance with so much winning! :-)
I’ll continue buying my Sam Adams beer. Its a very good beer.
Sam Adams sales are going up, not down.
Yea, me too.
LOL Boycott beer? Boycott whiskey? OK what is next? Gasoline or bread? Someone is looking for their 15 minutes of fame?
Counter protest . . . Never tried Sam Adams, just bought a six pack of Boston Lager.
If leftists are so opposed to tax cuts, they can just go on paying the old tax rates if they want.
Nobody is stopping them from making a donation out of their own pocket.
Just don’t volunteer MY money.
I’ll take and keep my tax cut, thankyouverymuch.
Anyone in his neighborhood can see the putz’s sign at:
8 Jess St
Jamaica Plain
Full disclosure: Life-long Bills fan (meaning, not a Pats fan in the least). But I live in the middle of New England - 40 mins from Foxboro. \
...And come the 2nd week of September to January I am here to tell you that the Boston Brewing Company’s biggest challenge will be keeping stock levels high enough to meet demand.
Sam Adams is to Pats and Sox fans as Buffalo wings and broken tables are to Bills fans.
[Note: we just call them wings]
So let’em protest all they want. It’s like spitting into the ocean on this one.
jimjohn - OUT
Jeremy Phillips = colossal a**hole
