President Trump thinks tax cuts are good for American craft beer

Samuel Adam’s Founder Jim Koch is taking heat from a Boston area mayor for ‘sucking up’ to President Trump…and he’s now boycotting his beer.

Here’s the deal.

Last week, Jim Koch joined a group of businessmen at a dinner with President Trump in New Jersey. And he took that opportunity to praise the admiration’s tax cuts, noting that they would help his company compete with foreign breweries.

And given today’s political climate it’s not surprising that his comments would elect a reaction…

One of those having “none of it” was, Somerville, Massachusetts Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone (no doubt not a Trump fan) who took to twitter to rage that he’d now be boycotting Sam Adam’s beer…

But he was just getting started…

Clearly the mayor was on a roll…

Again not surprisingly. the Mayor got flamed for his tweets by pro-trump supporters and he defended his comments a few hours later according to The Boston Globe by suggesting that former Sam Adams drinkers will remember that “Jim Koch sucked up to Trump.”
