Sam Adams Beer pulls out of South Boston St. Patrick's Day Parade
boston.com ^ | 3/14/2014 | David Zimmerman

Posted on 03/14/2014 8:51:46 AM PDT by reegs

Yesterday South End restaurant Club Cafe announced that it would no longer serve Sam Adams due to the brewer's association with the parade. In an open letter on its facebook page Club Cafe stated that they were "disappointed that Sam Adams does not understand that the organizers of the St. Patrick's Day Parade continue to demonstrate that they do not respect LGBT Irish Americans by excluding LGBT members of this community from openly marching in the St.Patrick's Day Parade."

This morning Sam Adams released a statement that said, in part "We share these sentiments with Mayor Walsh, Congressman Lynch and others and therefore we will not participate in this year’s parade."

Too bad they took this stance. I used to like their beer. The real Sam Adams is rolling in his grave.

If I had not quit drinking I could boycott their beer of which I once consumed mass quantities.

I don’t drink alcoholic beverages, but if I did, I wouldn’t touch “Sam Adams” swill with a barge pole.

I’d brew my own first. Easy enough to do, by the way.

Regardless of the quality, taste or variety, the VERY LAST beer I would ever buy is one made in Boston. Especially Sam Adams.....they should have that name revoked, IMO.

Friggen’ faggots have to spread their queerness everywhere, or ruin everyone else’s fun.

Isn't this the company that ran a promotion where they had a couple have sex in a Cathedral?
