Don’t drink Boston beer?

I went to the Market at Ghent (which is basically a Farm Fresh with fancy signage) tonight to get chicken. The experience was good for two reasons.

1. I got to see their sign that proclaims, “We Will Never Intentionally Disappoint a Customer.” Perfect.

2. As I was standing in line with my chicken and Sam Adams, I hear the customer behind me say, “They pee in the water in Boston.”

I turned to him, unsure. “I’m sorry?”

“Shouldn’t make beer with Boston water. People pee in it.”

“Oh, really? What water should you make beer with?”

“Water from the Colorado Rockies. Or Lake Erie.”

“Lake Erie?”

“Yep.”

I paid and left.

I’m hoping someone can tell me if this info is accurate. Should I not be drinking Sam Adams for fear of urine-tainted water? Also, is Lake Erie as pure as this man suggested? Anyone?

P.S. Sam Adams’ Blackberry Witbier is simply delicious. They should blend it with the Cherry Wheat and yogurt and sell it at Tropical Smoothie. Because Tropical Smoothie drinks would be ten times cooler if they got people unexpectedly drunk. Unless said people were driving. I guess.

My awesome dinner.
