Last
May (2013) when we played Boston in hockey, many Pittsburgh Pubs wanted to ban
Sam Adams. Well, first let me say that that is not very sportsmanship of us. Also, Pittsburgh can make the claim
that Sam Adams Boston Lager is a Pittsburgh beer. Pittsburgh Brewing was one of the largest breweries in America and Boston Beer was just getting underway.
The formula was designed with
the help of brewmaster Mark Davis and the first brew was produced at Pittsburgh
Brewing Co. back in the 1980’s. Pittsburgh Brewing continued to brew the Boston
brew until Jim Koch was able to secure his own brew house and later on he
purchased the old Christian Morlein Brewery in Cincinnati, Ohio.
And
pat on back for Mark and Pittsburgh Brewing. Boston Lager took 90% of its
metals when it was brewed here in Pittsburgh. So yes, I see boos for Boston
hockey, but remember, they are drinking beer that came from Pittsburgh. OK, maybe not anymore but I am still bragging.
