Sam Adams Pulls Its Sponsorship of St Patrick's Day Parade Over Gay Rights Boston parade organisers failed to reach an agreement with gay rights advocacy group, causing beer brewer to withdraw support
14 March 2014
The New York parade organisers have also come under fire for their policy toward LGBT people.
The maker of Sam Adams beer says it is withdrawing its sponsorship of Bostons St Patricks Day parade a day after negotiations to allow gay groups to march broke down.
Boston Beer Co said in a statement Friday that it is disappointed that an agreement couldnt be reached between the gay rights advocacy group MassEquality and parade organizers that would have allowed gay veterans to march. The parade is scheduled for Sunday.

You might want to hold off on that. Heineken went full fudgepacker, too.

Sam Adam’s: the Queer Beer?
Never liked Sam Adams beer. Too hoppy
Nobody I know drinks that yankee piss water anyway.
Sodomy Adams — tastes like ass.
Jim Koch sucker
I *do* like the beer, but ... well, they’ve chosen which customers they want, and I’m not them.
Time to make mead.
I will not longer sell Sam Adams at my bar.

Will never buy a Sam Adams beer for the rest of my days.

BETTER TO ADOPT THOMAS JEFFERSON STANCE AND .... NOT TROUBLE YOURSELF WITH MORONS AND/OR WHAT THEY THINK AND SPEW.... AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT
‘PINCH MY PURSE OR BREAK MY LEG.....’
HELL, THIS GUY WAS ALMOST AS SMART AS I AM..
ANYWAYS, THANK YOU FOR A GREAT POST!
Dang-it-all! Their Blueberry beer in their summer pack was REALLY good.
TRY REDD’S APPLE ALE S/F IT’S OUTSTANDING...!
Good grief, why in hell do they have to bring their politics into a simple parade? It’s not about homosexuality, it’s about St. Patrick! They have their own Pride Parade, let them march there!
So Sam Adams was Mau-Maued by the homosexual activists? Just one time, I’d love to see a company, other than one run by Christians, tell these thugs to take a long walk off a short pier. The more they get away with it, the bolder they’re getting, and having Obama in the White House willing to do their bidding makes them bolder still!
What a shame. I like sam adams, but I’m done with them as well.
Three Cheers! Hip-hip-hooray
No more Sodom Adams for me.
Ironically, the former mayor of Portland Oregon is named Sam Adams - a homo that groomed a 17-year-old into that perversion and had sex with him two weeks after he turned 18. This was right before the election and he still won the mayorship. Oh, and he lied about it until after the election.
If not why is the Sam Adams Co. trying to insert LGBTism into the celebration of St. Patrick?
Would their name sake approve of what they are doing?
