I'm the type that I'll like something until it becomes popular. When the hipster thing first started, you know, when they were closely related to true hippies and not the 80s nerd look, I was totally into any girl who rocked the style. Now I can't stand hipsters.
I arrived onto the craft beer scene rather late. But I've refused to drink Sam Adams Boston Lager because, well, it's a lager. When I saw BL on beer lists next to all the BMC beers, I just assumed it was on par with those, and therefore assumed the brewery was just as trash as those.
Then I saw Jim Koch on Brew Dogs, and thought, ok he seems like a pretty cool guy. I mean he bathed in a huge mash bath with the Scots.
I recently went to a restaurant that had absolutely nothing craft to offer except for BL. So I went for it. I was thoroughly surprised! It actually had flavor to it!
Then I went into a liquor store and there was a spring pack of theirs, so since my interests were piqued after trying the Boston Lager, I had to buy this one. It included their BL, Cold Snap (a witbier), Escape Route (a kolsch style), and Crystal Pale Ale. I really did enjoy them all, the pale ale being my favorite.
Just proves the old adage, "Don't knock til you try it," to be true once again.
