OMG, Guinness...that is a DISGUSTING commercial.
I haven’t had Guinness in years and that’s it...never again.
I’ve been enjoying Deschutes Brewery’s “Black Butte Porter” the past couple months as we head into spring. The small breweries don’t pull this crap. At least, I haven’t seen any of it, but it wouldn’t surprise me to find some marketing to the perverts, freaks and weirdos.
DeSantis’ people didn’t do their homework. Guiness led the charge to have perverts in the NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade under their own banner (they were aloud to be in the parade as Irish, as long as they didn’t scare the horses before). Guiness has been a bad actor for a LONG time.

no florida brews?
Or he could have just said Yuengling!
What Im not getting is why so many around here are rushing to push not just another big name beer but something as spectacularly bad as Guiness.
The ones who arent pushing that crap are pushing brands that were Inbev until they were forced to be sold to MolsonCoors! Because, yknow, theres no way the other big multinational corp is gonna take your money and screw you over tomorrow.
Its cola wars and Ford V Chevy all over again and gives the same kinds of idiots something to be entertained.
Yeah, you can’t know every little detail about a product’s backing of culture issues. I could never stand Guinness beer. It tastes like cough syrup that went bad.
was just shopping online
bud light 12pk 15.09 on sale 12.99
What Bud Light does is more important than what Guinness’s does, just because of market position. It is like McDonalds and a local restaurant chain. Even if the small chain does something much worse, McDonalds is still more important because they are McDonalds.
Kind of unrelated but I haven’t had Guinness in years, but I bought a 6 pack of it the a month ago, not to really drink but for my Simple beer bread recipe I make about every week or two weeks. I kind of liked the stuff when I drank it a long time ago. I was surprised after I pour it that I got no head from it, which really surprised me. I might of gotten something made months ago like 6 months ago, but my gut feeling is for some reason the recipe is not the same as when I drank it many years ago, and I also drank it when I visited Ireland while being stationed in England back at the end of the cold war, so what gives was it bad spoiled beer, or should I have bought the Extra stout Guinness Beer, Either way if I ever buy anymore Stout beer I might try to buy something made in some small micro brewery in Tennessee or some state close to Tennessee.
At least Guiness is a decent beverage. But I don’t approve of their new outlook. They are anything but stout.
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.
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.
