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!"

I don't know post the twitter links but they are gems, as is the exchange between Koch and Trump at the end of the article. Worth clicking on the article to read the whole thing and enjoy!

More beer for Sam Adams to enjoy then.

I’ll buy Sam Adams next time around, just to mitigate the dipshit mayor, who’s probably a hard liquor alcoholic anyway

[wally_bert]

I don’t touch alcohol (never could stand the stuff) but I would buy some and give it to others who do.

Legal aged drinkers, of course.

I’ve never had it, but now I want some...............

Being for the working class is now “White Nationalist”.

More politicization. 20 years ago the NE Patriots pulled out (they could) of a deal to move to Hartford CT and CT Gov John Rowland, who later went to jail, angrily declared himself a Jets fan.

Sam Adams beer was one of the sponsors punishing the Boston St. Patrick’s Day parade to accept homosexual marchers.

Racism is everywhere, if one is a deplorable you are automatically a racist.

The word is losing it’s meaning, it is way overused.

They also donate to PlannedParenthood. Beers ok but there are better.

[A_Former_Democrat]

I understand and that’s why I haven’t bought any

[Maudeen]

Just another reprobate coming out of the swamp.

Prissy little b!tch...

Sam Adams beer - today’s Chick-Fil-A.

I’m picking up a case on my way home from work. I’ve not bought beer for my home in over a year.

Oh yeah?? Well then I’m never going to vote for a Democrat candidate again, and I’m never going to come to Somerville and spend my tourism dollars either. So there!

If you listen to Howie Carr or Jeff Kuhner, Joe C, is often made sport of and the blunt of their humor. No surprise here with his comments...

I have been boycotting Sam Adams since they left “Under God” out of their ad. Screw Sam Adams, I don’t care.
