Ha, sorry!
I was just saw an opportunity to give a shoutout to one of the original California micro breweries that’s still holding out, although they’re hardly a small company any more. It was a big deal when Heineken bought Lagunitas several years ago.
I’m lucky enough to have my genuinely hyper-local brewpub just a few blocks away, strategically placed right in the middle of my dog walking route.

Yuengling is piss water. It was a total avoid long before the fascist leanings of the owners became known.

It’s strange. It’s almost as if all the companies (that really just want to make money) find that it’s better to say “we like everyone (to give us their money)” than to cater specifically to a handful of violent nazi hatebigots.

Wait wait wait - I just found out that this is over a single custom printed 12 pack sent out to an influencer with 10 million followers. Seriously? THAT is what the hubbub was over? You can’t even BUY the “offending” cans? LOL What thin skinned weenies.
This is when they go all prohibition on us, because that worked so well last time.

Or that Jack Daniels the distillery was “woke” from the moment this man taught Jack Daniels the person how to make whiskey.

I kind of like the fact that his face is out of frame for all but a few seconds of video.

He had ownership in a couple breweries several years ago. Perhaps they have all gone under.

I wonder if this related to the Kid Rock thing.
Local Budweiser distributor Wil Fischer Distributing decided to cancel all of the Springfield Clydesdale showings, citing safety concerns for their employees.

In one sense, it was a typical script of public outrage that is reenacted whenever a corporation takes any supposedly political stance these days. But this particular fracas over Bud Light grows from a deeper history of consumer politics, and it has an amusing resonance given the crucial role beer—or not drinking beer—has played in the past successes of the LGBTQ movement. In fact, part of the reason Bud Light (and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch InBev) embraces—and is embraced by —queer beer-drinkers is thanks to a historic boycott of one of its rivals, Coors Brewing Company
