Just a minute ago I saw I guess what is one of the latest Sam Adam's TV commercials. They speak about how all their employees are just a big family of beer geeks, including the head of their legal department -- as the camera focuses on a lady pouring beer through a strainer into a plastic bucket. I suppose that she is straining the hops from the boil, but the problem is that you can actually see the steam coming up from the bucket. Uhhhhhhh ... I guess she never heard of hot side aeration. Beer geek indeed. I hope she's a better lawyer than brewer.
Cheers.
