Well, I used to really enjoy Sam Adams and I used to really enjoy enjoy Yards but not anymore. Cancel culture works both ways. I refuse to give money to any business that donates to BLM or the militant LBG (whatever). But not every craft brewer is "woke". Victory out of PA or Dogfish Head out of DE are 2 that come to mind but I am sure there are others who just want to make good brew and not virtue signal.
Craft beers were a refreshing changes over the insipid swill that was the American beer scene until the late 80s. Unfortunately most of them today are way overpriced ($14.99 for a 4 pack of 16oz.? NFW!) or put ingredients in beer (ex. peanut butter, coconut, etc) that should not be in beer.
Back in the 90s, Samuel Adams played up the patriotic angle quite heavily, and that made a billionaire out of Jim Koch. The big about-face they did in 2014 over homosexuals in St. Patrick’s Day Parade, siding with a leftist group called “MassEquality”, is truly a nauseating move.
I was not aware. Damn shame because them, along with Anchor Steam, Sierra Nevada and a couple other were true pioneers in the craft brew revolution. They discovered a demand for good fresh craft beer and met the demand with a damn good product. But no, I won’t buy the product of any company that succumbs to the pressure of the woke mob. So no more Sam, no more Yards for me
Here you go.
A decayed nation is one watching the consumption of
pizza and beer. Should this be the passed time event,
most would agree the nation is decayed enough
already!
We need maggot infestation to clean our many deep
wounds.
