Sam Adams is NOT union. If I'm wrong, please post the site stating otherwise, but I cannot find any mention of Sam Adams being union. I LOVE Sam Adams. Put aside their corporate politics (they're Bostoners, what do you expect?), they make some amazing brews.
Yuengling gets the rest of my money for beers. Living in Florida, though, I love that we're surrounded by so many craft and microbrewers. Lots of non Union selection even if most of them prefer to brew IPAs, brown ales, porters, and barleywines. I'm a lager man myself.
Look up Boston Beer Co., not Sam Adams.
Cincinnati brewery has at least 80 employees represented by collective bargaining, from three different unions.
Also, if anyone is going to go on a full on Anti-union boycott make sure you check to see if the teamsters are the distribution workers, which they probably are...
And stop buying anything delivered by UPS or FedEx.
Postal service is clearly verboten as well, so mail order is just about off the table from any source.
Don’t watch tv... lots of union labor making that happen.
I’m assuming a Hyundai or Kia is in the garage...
Oh, and they will likely need to start walking, just make sure there’s no rubber on the soles of the shoes, the petroleum industry, world wide, is filled with unions from drillers to refiners to long shoremen to teamsters...
...
I’m not a huge fan of unions. They have morphed from their useful place in the market to largely political organizations.
However, when people want to make big bold statements about not spending any of their hard earned money to support those evil union miscreants, I am left to believe that it is mostly grandstanding.
Anyone has the right to choose the companies and people with whom they will do business, and each may choose the reasons they will use in making those decisions. Avoiding unions is a choice one is free to make. I simply suggest those ranting loudly about such choices take a good hard look at the world around them...

If you like beer, pick the beer you like best, and enjoy. Keep life simple. I suggest we save the anger angst and activism for bigger issues.
