RanaE Member	posted 04-13-2001 10:55 AM Kit, Do you have any idea if these will be national/touring events like brands such as Camel and Johnnie Walker Red hold at clubs and bars? We get a lot of those here in Austin. Sounds like a great idea. R IP: Logged
Mongoose of War Member	posted 04-13-2001 11:27 AM You seem to be plugging Sam Adams a lot, Kit. Is that part of the "marketing initiative"? Because if you really believe that Sam Adams is a great tasting beer, any respect that I have for you as a person will get tossed out the window. IP: Logged

Mongoose, I luvs ya, but when you start trashing Sam, you might as well be talking bad about my Mama. Take it back! IP: Logged
Mongoose of War Member	posted 04-13-2001 11:33 AM I am still in college, and only appreciate beer that comes in a 40 oz. container. Just as Charles Dickens wrote about the shenanigans of members of the lower classes, I interact with elements of American ghetto culture. So excuse me when I feel the urge to pop a cap in the ass of the first Sam Adams loving cracker I come across. IP: Logged

When you get older you learn to "appreciate" beer...brews like Sam, Guiness, Killian's and lots of others. College beer is swill. And I hope you're kidding about that "cracker" comment. dan IP: Logged

Mongoose of War Member	posted 04-13-2001 11:45 AM Beer is an inferior good that is not meant to be appreciated. At least not in this country... if you want to be a beer connoisseur, move to Belgium. And besides, I don't get any more utility out of a $20 case of Sam Adams than I do out of a $7 case of Carling Black Label. Sam Adams is populist pisswater pretending that it belongs to the pantheon of delectable microbrewed beers. Call me a stick in the mud, but I'd rather drink St. Ides than Sam Adams. Costs less, and it doesn't try to be something it isn't. IP: Logged

People decide what's good and what isn't, and I'm relatively sure that Natural Light isn't going to beat Guiness in a blind taste test. Kids nowadays. "populist pisswater pretending that it belongs to the pantheon" Nice alliteration, though. IP: Logged
kit Member	posted 04-13-2001 12:07 PM i must say i have been spending time with the fine folks at sam adams...even met jim k. himself and they are certainly not the type to produce populist pisswater...they are cool, cracka' so chill out! IP: Logged

Chinle Member	posted 04-13-2001 01:41 PM Face it, there's no bad beer. Some brands may be more tastee than others, but beer is beer, and on a bad day, that's what counts. IP: Logged
critical_critic Member	posted 04-13-2001 01:42 PM White Russian, anyone??? OHH right- we're talking about Sammy. I gotta agree with Mongy (maybe coz' we're both in college?) SA definitely fits in the 'pisswater' category in the back of the future shelves. Anyone got a duster? And Dh- puh-lease! You had to stick an overused cliche in there, didn't you? "When you get older...." Bla bla bla bla bla. How's my alliteration, consonance and my assonance? Luvs ya, cc IP: Logged
Chinle Member	posted 04-13-2001 01:42 PM And with that, I grab a Full Sail, lower the Anchor Steam, and boat away from the Frothy dock. IP: Logged

Pickel87 Member	posted 04-13-2001 03:05 PM All this time Kit I thought Sam Adams was a guy you were dating. You said I'm going home to Sam Adams...like every night....so I thought you were ya know shacking up with Sam, but now I discover that ain't so.

Lune12 Member	posted 04-13-2001 04:40 PM I'll volunteer to be a part of the Sam Adams marketing initiative. If you need footage of a PGler drinking free beer at a party just let me know! IP: Logged
ANNOYANCE . Member	posted 04-13-2001 04:43 PM I get laid with hot, Beverly Hills chicks when I drink Sam Adams. I get laid with trailer trash crack whores when I drink any other domestic beer. [Real life testimonial by PGL poster] IP: Logged
