Mods, move this if needed.

Apparently, a conservative schmuck from Georgia has started [Conservative Dad’s Ultraright Beer](https://ultrarightbeer.com/). ($19.99 per 6 pack. Not available in several states. See website for details.)

There are already a lot of articles about this, at least one saying [it can’t be real.](https://www.indy100.com/viral/ultra-right-wing-beer-parody)

I don’t know if it’s real or not, but the Daily Beast reports [it may not be legal.](https://www.thedailybeast.com/anti-woke-ultra-right-beer-entire-business-model-may-be-illegal-expert-says)

> But, according to its website, it brews and cans its beverages in Illinois, a state that bans its breweries from selling beer directly to consumers. _Crain’s Chicago Business_ also reported on Thursday that Illinois requires its brewers to register their labels and become licensed beer retailers before they can hawk their products in the state.

The website’s real, but that doesn’t mean the product is. Or even if the product’s real, it may flop.

It’s fake. Their “business model” violates so many state and Federal laws it will never fly.

The website was registered a week ago and for only a year.

Note that even the guy who is “selling” it says that it’s only being sold in May.

He’s not just “a conservative schmuck from Georgia”. He’s the former director of Donald Trump’s 2016 Georgia campaign.

So obviously this guy has a history of grifting.

I have a case of Bud Lite Lime that someone once brought and I can’t get rid of or find a use for. Is there anyway I can rebrand this as “Bud Rite Conservative Caucus Citrus Brew” and sell it for an exorbitant amount of money?

Surely you have a drain or two that needs cleaning. Or, if you are feeling puckish, hand a 6 pack to the next guys you see panhandling at a freeway off ramp. The look on their faces should keep you laughing for hours.

I’m afraid the beer would just eat through the pipes like the xenomorph blood. Plus, I wouldn’t want to get any of it on me.

I wouldn’t treat the homeless that way, even the guys who knock on my window. I’m pretty sure that offering someone Bud Lite Lime is a war crime, or at least an offense against nature. I did offer it up once to a poster who was offering to go away if people gave him money but was rebuffed. I’m honestly not sure if anyone has ever actually drank this battery fluid or if all of it just gets ‘regifted’ when people need to bring beer to some party that they don’t really want to go to.

Print out a lot of Coors Light labels, slap them on the cans, and then market it as “Detransitioned beer”.

As one article points out, they’re being notably cagey about who brews the beer except that it’s in “northern Illinois”. What brewery is there in northern Illinois that does a lot of contract brews like this?

Goose Island - an Anheuser-Busch subsidiary.

He’s charging idiots five times as much for worse beer from the same company they’re performatively outraged by in the first place.

Wasn’t there a thread a few weeks ago from a Doper who lost a bet and was looking for the most obnoxious beer in the world to pay it?
