A brewery in Texas has canceled a rally featuring Kyle Rittenhouse, claiming that the event doesn’t reflect its values.
Southern Star Brewing Company, a brewery in Conroe, Texas, will no longer host the “Rally Against Censorship” featuring Rittenhouse on Jan. 26, explaining its position Friday in a Twitter post.
“Southern star brewery is an apolitical organization. But we feel that this event doesn’t reflect our own values and we could not in good faith continue to rent our space for the event on 1/26. We don’t do rallies, we make beer for people who like beer,” the brewery said.
Rittenhouse reacted to the event’s cancelation by Southern Star Brewing Co.
“It’s really disappointing to see that places continue to censor me and not allow my voice and many other voices to be heard because they bend to the woke crowd. I’ll keep you guys updated on the event on the 26th that I was supposed to speak at,” Rittenhouse said.
“I don’t support companies who don’t support the first amendment,” Rittenhouse added in another tweet.

I don’t know how this brewery stays in business. Montgomery County is one of the reddest counties you’ll ever find, except for a small blue enclave in The Woodlands.

I heard its turns you transsexual..?
Strange that one got booked then, isn't it?
Censoring the anti-censorship event is a bad look.
Well I guess they can start hanging out with the Sam Adams brewing. I bet they’d get along!
I can’t say I’m that disappointed, their buried hatchet stout is decent but nothing special. None of their other beers are anything to write home about either. Mostly disappointed as they’re a Texas brewery..
Kyle sure can flush out the weak-kneed among us.
Well, at least we all know Kyle has no idea what the first amendment actually says.
Right. Which explains why they hosted a Pride rally last year.
