Bar boycotts Sam Adams after pullout

The real problem is the need for sponsorships to begin with.

The sponsorships pay for a lot of permits and licensing etc. I say screw the permits and have the parade anyway.

Sam Adams is getting slaughtered by Yuengling and Yuengling is only available in 13 states. NE doesn’t deserve Yuengling. Go to Texas first (which I think Dick Yuengling has his eyes on).

Sam Adams (the beer) is on the side of the fudgepackers.

The Bar is on the side of the Parade Sponsors who are not buckling to the Gay Nazis.

I supsect that Sam Adams (the Patriot) would not approve of the company that bears his name.

The silver lining is that you get to see the SPD parade with no fags ruining it like the Rose Bowl..

The parade is about the Irish and St Patrick... not a sounding board for political messages (including the gay agenda).

The parade wouldn’t allow a pro-life group to march either... so why should they allow a gay group to march?

[Beagle8U]

Either way, beer drinkers don’t tend to be people that want to be associated with the queer agenda.

There aren’t enough queer bars to keep Sam Adams in business.

[B Knotts]

No fair! You actually read the article before commenting! :-P

[Mamzelle]

Is the parade really refusing to let gay veterans march, or are they refusing to allow them to wear rainbow-colored thongs and “Pride” banners…therefore turning a Catholic holiday into an orgy?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

There is NO exclusion of homos from marching in the St. Patrick's Parade! There are no bans! None, nada, zip, zero! Homosexuals just aren't allowed to hijack the parade and make it about them and THEIR cause! Sheesh! The Boston Beer Co. has completely drunk the homos' narrative and pissed off their customers! This is what happens when you pander and cower to a fringe but powerful and vocal minority.

[Beagle8U]

Fat Tire is a good beer.

I had to give up alcohol entirely, but these days I am making a list of businesses who support this movement to make depravity acceptable. Those on the list get no business from me.

“Sam Adams stinks anyways.
I’d rather have a Yuengling Lager instead.”

I agree completely.

[B Knotts]

Honestly, the parade is probably better off without corporate sponsors or big-wigs, anyhow.

[Enterprise]

Excellent! That’s my understanding of the parade. It was never intended to be a venue for political or social causes. It’s about the Irish!

[Cowboy Bob]

It would be interesting to see the effects of a boycott of Sam Adams over this. If Sam Adams suffers because of this, it may cause other companies to rethink their support of homosexuals.

[bigbob]

FiRst round’s on me!

[G Larry]

You must be a real riot on the playground.

[12th_Monkey]

I took a quick look at Sam’s site to post some quippy versions of there beer names with a gay theme.

Decided that FR would pull my comment and waste my time. FR not a fan of creative freedom.
