“You know, it’s kind of sweet and sh!t but.” Though, that's less of a comment on Boston and more just showing how things were in the midst of the pandemic. One of the subtle moves the commercial makes is to have Bill Burr and his son (Mikey Day) half-wear their masks. It also would have been great to work in Pete Davidson somehow, he'd have been the only way to make this fake SNL commercial better. It may have been written in New York, but if you have family from Boston, you know that it's fairly spot on. He keeps disparaging the brew, yet he can't stop drinking the Jack-O Pumpkin Ale. Meanwhile Burr, in his Antoine Walker Celtics jersey (we're guessing here for the #8) goes on a typical, Boston-style apathetic rant about how he's not a big fan, all while chugging the beer. She recruits "Real Bostonians", Kevin (Moffat), Jonathan (Bennett), Sean (Burr), Kori (Nwodim), and Daria (Holt) to try out the pumpkin ale.Ĥ of them enjoy the Jack-O. The bit opens in a (presumably Massachusetts) grocery store where a Boston Beer Company rep (Gardner) is pouring Sam Adams Jack-O and talking about how the Boston Beer Company has been crafting signature beers since 1984. This fake commercial works on many levels, one of which being that as a Massachusetts native, Burr can convincingly pull off not only the Boston accent, but the general who gives a crap attitude that many possess in the capital of the Northeast. Homebrewing Books, Craft Beer T-Shirts & Stainless Steel Growlers, Oh My!ĭuring his stint on NBC's sketch comedy show, he took part in a SNL spoof commercial that was all about Jack-O, a new pumpkin beer from the Samuel Adams Brewery.

Standup comedian and Canton native, Bill Burr hosted SNL back in 2020, then Boston-style shenanigans ensued.
That means that pumpkin emboldens a beer without it overtaking the other more subtle flavors-hops, malts, etc.-within. "Pumpkin is not a very assertive vegetable, and so it can be as intense or unassuming as the brewer intends." (Can't say the same for roast turkey, that's for sure.)
"The great thing about pumpkin is it leaves a lot up to the interpretation of the brewer," says Matt Simpson, The Beer Sommelier. But when you really think about it, the popularity of pumpkin beer makes sense. It may seem odd that the pumpkin-and not any other seasonal vegetable (let alone roast turkey)-inspires such a widespread explosion of craft beer creations. And, of course, the tremendous variety of creative pumpkin beers that start popping up in stores right about now. Leaf peepin' (oh come on you know you love it). There are a lot of reasons to love autumn: Football.
