Russian vodka in a Chicago gay bar?Nyet.

In response to the passage of anti-gay laws in Russia —and subsequent clashes between police and gay activists there —some Chicago gay bars are pulling Russian vodka and other spirits from their offerings in protest.

>>>There is no real Russian vodka, only the stuff they stole from the Poles.<<<

LOL. Indeed, Polish and Russian vodkas are different. Polish is generally brewed out of potatoes and Russian is based on grain spirits.
There are decent Polish brands for sure but Russian market is too much more larger and diverse. There are crappy cheap brands and superb as well.

Thanks for the tips. I’ll get some, I think, Friday or Saturday. :)

Thanks for the heads up!! I will avoid Stoli, since Stoli thinks it is GREAT for children to be force-fed homosexual propaganda!

I've had vodka in Russia, Turkmenistan, Tatarstan, Azerbaijan and a few other different vodka locales but my vote goes to Turkmenistan.

Drink all day, sleep all night.

I wonder how many of these “protestors” have no problem buying petroleum products, produced by Arab Muslims who STONE HOMOSEXUALS TO DEATH?
