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.
I’ve rejected Guinness since their St. Patrick’s Day debacle boycott debacle back in 2014, in support of homosexuals marching under their own banner. Doesn’t seem like nine years running.
I haven’t looked into whether or not O’Hara’s Irish stout (an independent brewery located in Carlow; not always easy to get in the US) have ever done political/cultural advertising, but I don’t think they have. They would be the only Irish stout I’d buy these days; Murphy’s and Beamish did the same thing as Guinness back in 2014.
San Diego's Stone Brewing released "I'm Peach" Double IPA in 2018 as a jab at Trump. They make a lot of good beers, but I haven't bought one in 5 years, and that will continue. Plenty of great beers out there that don't have an agenda. Shut up and brew.
Some of them very much do.
I know of a microbrewery that is planning on a rainbow beer as a response to the Bud Light controversy.
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.
