That said, I'm sure the beer enthusiasts among you already know the old adage:
Q: What do American beer and sex in a canoe have in common?
A: They're both f'ing close to water!
Although some of their specialty beers are not bad, I really don't care for the Sam Adams 'flagship' beer.
As for your comments on American beer, they are so far out of date that they are laughable. In the early 1980s, when Anchor Steam and Geary's were the only two truly good American beers I was familiar with, you may have had a valid point. Today, the majors like Bud and Miller are still crap, but there is so much amazing American beer out there today (e.g., Russian River Brewing, Green Flash, Surly, Stone, etc., etc., etc.) that I can't believe you are still spouting lines like "done the impossible and produces an American beer that is drinkable."
