Samuel Adams Boston Lager

Today was a very good day.  My wife, who loves me, bought me a ticket to “Beers to You” in Waterloo.  I got to enjoy many kinds of beer, including several varieties of Sam Adams.

“No man is an island.” So said John Donne.  I realize that I need a little help from my friends.  When I am sick I need the doctor.  When I am in legal trouble I need the lawyer.  When I am hungry I need the farmer and the butcher.  And when I thirst for a good beer with just the right balance of hoppy bitterness and malty sweetness, I need a good brewer.  I don’t always get to thank my friends so directly for their work on my behalf.  So I appreciated the chance to shake Bob Cannon’s hand and say “Thanks, for your work.”
