Unfortunately, I cannot make this into a series of DJDJ's, since I do not really have enough content to cover a few days. So one post will have to do. And we all know how concerned I am about the highest-quality. I mean, I am marrying Kara, so only top-of-the line, A-One will do. (Can you get bonus points
before you get married, or do you keep track of the score later?....The only time I didn't keep score was Pee-Wee, and that just didn't feel right. I mean this is
America.)
We travelled to Samuel Adams brewery, which is just south of Boston. While it was not a full-fledged production facility, it was still fully functional and serves as the R&D headquarters for the company. Hard to believe that R&D engineers have a full-time job at a brewery, but I am sure there is a lot of stuff to do like finding new flavor combinations and tastes.

I was surprised to discover that Sam Adams was actually started in 1984. (Kind of makes it anticlimactic, right?) Of course, I am no alcohol expert, but I learned a lot touring the facility and we had the opportunity to get free samples at the end.

Yeah...1984 is anticlimactic. Still looks like a great place to tour around. You've seen all the sites!
ReplyDeleteUh oh. Danny will be jealous that Nick's made his debut. And no, the brownie points don't count yet.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to STOCK UP on brownie points...you can never have enough...it only takes one small incident to wipe out the whole kit-and-kaboodle!
ReplyDeleteDid you really just compare Kara to a steak sauce...A1?
ReplyDeleteApparently, A1 is also the name of an English/Norwegian boyband. They're pretty legit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PJSbLVVpes&feature=related), so if that's what you were referring to, then brownie points for sure.
this nick guy seems alright, but we need more pics of your cute roommate.
