…usually you wind up with a dead hooker rolled up in a carpet. But maybe not after a Super Bowl party. Wall Street guru Jim Cramer’s thestreet.com offers craft beer picks for the big game.

I’ll give ‘em the Southampton IPA as a decent bottled choice from a Downstate New York address, but Sam Adams Irish Red? Yeeech. It would be a better call to consider that the team is called the NEW ENGLAND Patriots and grab some Smuttynose Old Brown Dog from New Hampshire or a case of Vermont’s Otter Creek Copper Ale. These are two solid, delicious brews that aren’t too challenging for the occasional beer drinker, and still appeal to the craft beer lover.

Personally, I’ve always thought the idea of matching your beer to who’s in the Super Bowl kind of silly, but the concept makes for easy content in home living magazines and cheesy beer blogs. And just maybe the Wall Street Journal. Who really knows but the stockbrokers?
