Sam Adams brewery protest after CEO's Trump dinner remarks

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.

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.

Jim Koch should offer a 25% price discount for anyone who walks into a store wearing a MAGA or a Trump hat. Can’t pull out the hat in the checkout line; gotta walk into the store wearing it.

Watch and see how many diehard Dems will put on the MAGA to get 25% off!
