Since gays comprise such a HUGE percentage of the beer market. /sarc
Thank goodness I don’t drink any of those brands.
HA! Yeah, makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it? All it took for Guinness to cave was one infamous “gay” bar making a scene—JUST ONE BAR!
Neither do we... as of this week.
Too bad about the big three stouts. But that’s what you get for selling out to Diageo and Heineken. There are some up-and-coming dry stouts from independent breweries that have nothing to do with the big-brewery sellouts; if I can find them, I’ll certainly give them my business so long as they stay out of this political arena.
It is true—gay dudes do drink a lot.
Why is it that homo-fascists, who you’d
think would want to be the epitome of tolerance
are the most intolerant folks in the world.
They have fellatioed the liberal philosophy
big time.
oh he/she is so cute lol.
They make up controversies, since really all the parades are doing is keeping the parades based on what the actual holiday was about.
Liberals in modern America suck!
oh he/she is so cute lol.
I like Stella Artois
Sammy isn’t a bad beer and neither is Heineken
but there is an article in American Conservative
from about two months ago why big business and gay activists
are so cozy.

I tried a new whiskey. Kilbeggan. It was quite good.
Yep!
Thanks. I’ll have to look that article up...
This could especially work if when women are approached in bars by (obnoxious) men who are drinking it, they can suggest something to the effect of "Why are you hitting on me? You're drinking gay beer, so you must be gay!"
Someone could even do an Internet campaign showing flamboyant gay men, with a caption like "I'm gay and I'm proud! That's why I drink Heineken!"
I think it is great that the beer companies are making a big deal out of boycotting the parade. This way I know what brands to stay away from.
BOSTON (WNB) - Guinness joined Heineken and Sam Adams in pulling its sponsorship of St. Patrick’s Day parades in New York and Boston, citing organizers’ restrictions on gay and lesbian participants as a central reason for cutting ties.
"Guinness has a strong history of supporting diversity and being an advocate for equality for all," read the Guinness statement. "As this has not come to pass, Guinness has withdrawn its participation. We will continue to work with community leaders to ensure that future parades have an inclusionary policy."
In possibly-related news, Texas brewer Lone Star is reporting extremely heavy sales of their new "Not Gay" brand beer at both Boston and New York St. Patrick's Day events.
I believe it’s in the blog section
you can go to the magazine archives—it might be in there
but I don’t think so.
Very good. Thanks!
