Erin Go Bye: Two Beer Makers Exit St. Patrick's Parades
NBC News ^ | 3/14/14 | AP

Posted on 03/14/2014 6:57:44 PM PDT by marshmallow

The makers of Sam Adams and Heineken beer say they are withdrawing their sponsorship of St. Patrick's Day parades because organizers exclude gay groups.

Boston Beer Co., Sam Adam's brewer, said in a statement Friday that it is disappointed that an agreement couldn't be reached between the gay rights advocacy group MassEquality and Boston parade organizers that would have allowed gay veterans to march.

Meanwhile, Heineken USA said it was withdrawing from the New York City parade, and told CNBC on Friday: "We believe in equality for all. We are no longer a sponsor of Monday's parade."

The decisions came a day after a bar in Boston's South End said it would no longer serve Sam Adams beer because of the brewer's affiliation with the parade, which is scheduled for Sunday.

If I were a brewery, I would try to sell beer to 100% of the population.
But if I had to pick a side to support, I would weigh 98% of the population, against 2% of the population, and I would curry favor with the larger demographic.

But then, I'm not an idiot.

I’m sorry to hear it. I usually drink local beers, but I like Sam Adams and Heineken both. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with those people.

fags can’t push their propaganda in a traditional venue... so they go after the sponsors and advertisers

two can play that game. there must be consequence to supporting the anti-American/ anti-Christian agenda

Therefore, any company that makes such statements and bends to their tactics has chosen sides and has chosen to hurt traditional America. as such, all their products should be boycotted until they make public statements admitting to their error in judgement

One of the great things about being Catholic is that the Church has quite literally thought of everything at some point or another. Some inventive cleric even thought to include a beer blessing in the Rituale Romanum (my parish also has an annual wine blessing). Creation is good. Beer is good. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

V. Our help is in the name of the Lord.
R. Who made heaven and earth.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.

Let us pray.

Bless, + O Lord, this creature beer, which thou hast deigned to produce from the fat of grain: that it may be a salutary remedy to the human race, and grant through the invocation of thy holy name; that, whoever shall drink it, may gain health in body and peace in soul. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

“The makers of Sam Adams”

Pretty sure Samuel Adams wouldn’t want his name to be associated with homos. Just saying.

And I have no Sam Adams in my beer fridge. It will now stay that way. Permanently.

Agreed and the same goes for Sierra Nevada Pale Ale in my fridge.
