Actually, they’ve just relaunched it. Yet it should be mentioned that they’re aiming for the same hipster ironic-consumption customer base that was responsible for Pabst Blue Ribbon’s successful revival so an attempt to come across as anti-elitist by picking it might backfire.
Anyway, I agree with the OP that anything from Sam Adams would be an excellent choice in this case. Also good would be something from the Dogfish Headwhich is brewed not far from DC in Milton, Delaware. However, Dogfish Head beers generally have higher than average alcohol content and that might seen as a problem.
Have you actually READ what happens in Jamaica? I wouldn’t only boycott the damn island, I’d embargo it and only allow rescue flights out for homosexuals.
It would be a great shout out to us hosers in Canada. It might also add to the public health care debate as he very well might have no stomach lining left after drinking it.
Ha! I grew up near Pittsburgh, and my dad had some rusty cans of Old Frothingslosh (“The pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom!”) that he just couldn’t bring himself to open. Ah, good times…
Yeah, my first thought was, ‘If I were the president, I would have a home brewery going.’ But with that option out, I’d probably go with something from Sierra Nevada or Sam Adams. Or maybe Magic Hat’s Wacko.
Well if you want to talk about offering asylum to an oppressed minority, then sure, but to be honest what country can you buy anything from without feeling guilty? Iceland?
Most of the stuff we buy is from China, and I hate to say it but China is a far worse human rights offender than Jamaica.
I just don’t understand how hurting the bottom line of people living in a third world country really makes the point. When they get laid off do you honestly think that they associate it with their homophobia? “If only I’d been nicer to my gay son, I wouldn’t have lost my job at the Red Stripe bottler.”
As it regards Skip Gates, the African American activist community seems to have made it pretty clear that homosexual rights and African American civil rights are not the same issue to them.
