54. Samuel Adams Boston Ale (USA)
55. Lakeport Honey Lager (Canada)
20 years ago a collection of 25 brave men brought glory to the city and on Saturday August 19th they were honored by those who saw it, those who kind of remember it, and those who missed it all together. That's right the Mets honored the 1986 championship team at Shea, and what better way to honor a great hard working/hard playing team than toasting them with a beer. But this was a pretty rowdy bunch, they got a two beer toast from someone who was too young to fully enjoy it the first time around.
The first beer I had was a a Sam Adams Boston Ale, very appropriate considering the victims of the 1986 world championship the Boston Red Sox. Its a good solid beer, it has a nice taste not to heavy. Its not a Keith Hernandez or Gary Carter of beers but it solidly a Tim Tueful. Solid, gets the job done, nothing too fancy.
The second beer I had was the last Canadian can I had in the fridge, it is called Lakeport Honey Lager. I was really disappointed in it, I would really like to taste a twinge of honey in these so-called honey lagers. So in the terms of the Mets its like a Kevin Elster or Dave Magadan, its not getting into the line up, but in a pinch its there but not something you'd depend on.
