I’m bummed to learn all this. The Guinness draft cans with the pressure charged ball inside are a wonderful product. That I won’t be buying any more.
what the hell is wrong with these groomers.
Wonder how many folks here had a Guinness Stout on St Patty’s Day? If I boycotted everything that I disagreed with I’d be homeless, hungry, broke and naked in a field somewhere. That’s reality.
Sickening ad. And entirely unrealistic, especially in Ireland. Pure BS.
Major misstep, IMO.
DeSantis should have stated a more generalized preference for, say, trying out different craft beers, ales, microbreweries, etc., without naming any brand in particular.
Not only brew pubs & beer aficionados, but small businesses in general, would have appreciated the shout out.
Anytime a candidate appears to endorse a specific product or company, he’s implying some kind of relationship exists & it sends reporters scrambling to find one.
DeSantis's base, southerners, when they get to a vowel in a word, they pronounce every vowel. So YUEngling would present a novel challenge. Yuengiing is a Pennsylvania company, where "PaDeutche" is a more recognized dialect.
A friend of mine from PA changed his name to Yingling.
My beer fridge has Guinness left over from St Patty’s Day, Yuengling lager, Yuengling Black & Tan and of course Shiner Bock. In the summertime I’ll add Shiner Blonde to the list.
