A tough decision this was, with multiple well-written and thought-out nominations. But this one goes to Pete and Sam Adams Lager. Cheers!
I nominate Sam Adams Lager as my April Beer of the Month. Despite the fact that I usually despise things from Massachusetts that aren't Boston Baked Beans, this hoppy darling has been on the top of my list for the last couple of weeks. Sam Adams beers, with the exception of the detestable Cherry Wheat, are all really exquisite but only the Summer Ale can compete with the original one.
Get a nice frosty mug for yourself and see. As the commercial notes, they use a pound of hops for every barrel. The result is a complex draft beer that is palatable for both my refined taste buds and also for the Mrs', who is known to order something other than Miller Lite about once a year.
I have no idea how you do it, Sam Adams, you generous patriot, but your Lager gets a big April thumbs up from ol' Pete.
Recommended occasions for a frosty mug of Sam Adams (cannot stress the frosty mug enough for this one):
1. With red meat
2. During a Spring blizzard while indoors
3. Viewing The Masters
4. As a delicious afternoon start to a long Saturday of binge drinking

Here's a suggestion for your $600 economy-stimulus government cheese check soon to be in a mailbox near you:
Pick up a six-pack of Sam Adams Utopias (if you can even find one bottle) and drink it. Alone. Fully nude.
Did I miss the vote or something? Or is this some sort of dictatorship blog where 'b' gets to pick the winners.
Nevertheless (did I use that word right?), I love me a Sam Adams and look forward to enjoying one soon.
In other news, look for Luke Donald to make a big showing this week at The Masters.
Sorry about that. I plan on doing May a little more democratically...but I figured it was already April 9th, so we had better land on one.
We'll start taking nominations for may next week.
In case you fucking infidels are wondering, I will be back around, say, April 29th-ish to tell you retards what the May beer of the month will be.
Suggestions can be submitted to my work voicemail. I reserve the right not to use them.
Oh my Jesus, check out shuffleboard with the the clean sweep!
Bonus points for the first use of the word "retard" on this blog!
Did I mention Yeungling? It was fantastic with the pounds of crawfish over spring break...
Also good with seafood, Samuel Adams Lager. No complaints with April's choice. Does May almost categorically have to be something that can be best consumed on the 5th of May? You know, in between Patron shots, chips and salsa, and "Authentic" Mexican cuisine?
As the irony train pulls into the station let me be the one to tell the story of Sam Adams.
Cousin to John Adams he came a very wealthy British family and was a key player in gaining inedepndence for America.
Irony train has now arrived. Sam Adams lost the majority of his family's wealth trying to be a brewmaster and completely failing.
Enjoy your Boston Lager
