And Doc, are you going to let Bruce talk smack to you like that?
Just kidding, both of you.
Many of Doc's posts are anecdotes with color added. Besides, he's the senior man present. :sign:

I am a big fan of Sam Adams. That is how my love affair with beers started. They will always have a special place in my heart! :love:
When I am not craft beer drinking ..you can always find me with a S.A. in hand. My next trip t0 Boston will definately include a White Sox VS BoSox game and a trip to the S.A. Brewery.

That's how this fuggin' argument started. :laugh: Sam Adams is a craft beer. Some how, because he's been successful, people have gotten the idea that it's not a craft beer. If he put it in red bottles with champagne corks, and charged outrageous prices, people would be happy.
Doc.
Let me give you guys a for instance. Two weeks to the day, I went to my friends shop and bought a 20 oz bottle of beer with a fancy caged champagne cork. I don't remember the name of the beer. There was no reason to. It tasted like a bad loaf of bread. I couldn't finish it. It cost me $12. Now if you were to run into one of my shipmates and said to them, "Doc couldn't finish his beer", they'd ask if I was on my death bed. And this isn't the first time. Half the time these so called craft beers suck. You are all being sold a bill of goods because some self-appointed expert said it was the be all, and end all. I've drank beer all over the world, some good, some fair and some horrible, as far as I'm concerned the American craft brewing industry is overrated. If you got to take out a home equity loan to buy a six pack, you're being screwed. Beer just ain't that expensive to produce; of course fancy red painted bottles and caged corks are.

Doc's a Long Trail Double Bag and Miller High Life kinda dude.I have to ask Doc, what is your favorite type of beer?
And, if you're thinking to yourself, "Doc's just cheap", you'd be wrong. There's a bottle of scotch out there that I covet that costs about $300 that I would gladly pay for if I could just get my hands on it.
Doc.
I'm also of big fan of IPA's. Longhammer and Smuttynose Finest Kind, being two of my favorites. I discovered an English beer a while back that I think is outstanding by the name of Hobgoblin. I'll be drinking more of that for sure.

Ya gotta love the logo, but if the beer didn't taste good... None of these are expensive beers. You can afford to buy six pack and drink it all in one day. There seems to be a lot of piss poor beer, packaged in pretty bottles, which may indeed be labors of love, that just ain't drinkable. BTW, I feel the same way about cigars. The Fuentes and their tactics drive me nuts. And, if you're thinking to yourself, "Doc's just cheap", you'd be wrong.
