Yuengling Faces Backlash After Owner’s Donald Trump Endorsement

[FUCK THE POLICE]

One of the annoying things about living in the Pacific NW is that my local brewers all want to drown me in hops. That said, the best selling signature ales are typically not IPAs (like Redhook ESB).

I usually go Sam Adams. Like my beer with tons of hops.

A true beer snob isn't pleased with anything that's not produced in some guys garage.

I am finding Texas beers to be sub standard! I miss Alaskan beers.

Have you not tried a Shiner Bok? I thought it was pretty darned good.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

The most tasteless beer in America, we know you're old.

Budweiser is an excellent choice if you want to get super drunk and you're broke. Not as good as a ten dollar fifth of vodka, but a solid option.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

My favorite beer personally is Sam Adams Double IPA. Like 90 IBU's and 9% alcohol.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Some of the worst beer I ever had was in Texas.. Do they still sell Long Horn beer??

No I think they have a shed load of micro breweries like every other State and quite a few of them are pretty good.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

The most prominent Texas beer I know of is Shiner. I tried the Shiner Bock at the urging of a Texas native, and wasn't very impressed, but, Rana should look into them.

Oh don't play beer snob. I've had it too and it's a good bok beer. This is about the right time for a bok beer in Texas.

Do liberals even drink beer lol?

No. We drink champagne.

that would explain why so many of them get methanol poisoning.

Yuengling Faces Backlash After Owner’s Donald Trump Endorsement

"Time to change my beer choice"​

When Yuengling owner Richard Yuengling Jr. told Eric Trump on Monday, “Our guys are behind your father,” he likely didn’t predict that he’d soon be facing local bars pulling his beers off tap in protest.

But outrage was swift, and Brian Sims, a Pennsylvania state representative from Philadelphia, quickly called on bars in Philadelphia’s “Gayborhood” to take Yuengling off tap, the New York Times reports. Two bars have agreed so far, and he says he’s going to expand his efforts.

“Everybody understands that the dollars that we now put into the marketplace have the potential to come back at us,” Sims, who is Pennsylvania’s first openly gay legislator, told the Times. “I want my dollars spent in a way that at the very least doesn’t hurt me, and hopefully supports me.”

A bar owner in Washington, D.C. posted a video of himself removing the his Yuengling beer tap, and liberal beer fans on Twitter have said they’d stop drinking the lager in protest.

Yep....more left wing, enlightened liberal tolerance. LMAO Say it ain't so....another threat of a democrat protest boycott....that has worked so well with FOX, Wall St. etc., FYI: To all liberals. Liberalism...i.e., social liberalism as practiced by these communist pretending to be progressive....represents less that 30% of the US population....and out of that 30% who gives a rats ass about boycotting a beer? Yep the party of FREE SPEECH and FREE THINKING, liberalism in its truest sense....everyone has the right to free speech and political choice as long as the liberals AGREE with the speech and politics...then its FASCISM at its finest.

Suggestion: I suggest they come back when they represent more than a "LOUD MOUTHED/SMALL MINDED" minority of the population. This is not like politics.....the liberal media needs advertising dollars as well as the capitalists. Maybe that reality is why THE PEOPLE under liberal economic tutelage finds themselves some 19 Trillion in debt....liberals appear to have a firm grip on crunching numbers.

Do they still sell Olympia beer out west?

Oh, yeah. If you find yourself in the Olympia area soon, go to a bar where there's plenty of good-old-boys above the age of 55. They will order that shit and think it's great.

Have you not tried a Shiner Bok? I thought it was pretty darned good.

Shiner is just okay, it's still not up to Alaskan standards.

 

[Airstrip One]

Oh don't play beer snob. I've had it too and it's a good bok beer. This is about the right time for a bok beer in Texas.

It could just be that I'm not a fan of bocks, because, I was surprised when it wasn't much to my liking. It's kind of like abbey style ales. Cool history, but I think it sucks.

You should come up to Bend, Portland, and Seattle some time. There's enough hops in the Pacific NW to last you a lifetime.

 

[tinfoil]

Personally I don't like hoppy beer.. Browns & real ales, Scottish ales etc..

My favorite beers are something like Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale or since I'm in Columbus I sometimes get Mt. Carmel Amber ale and the their nut brown. I got tired of hops about 10 years ago. The only hoppy beer I like is Dog Fish 90 minute. I don't know why I like it except it's got a really nice punch without the rank hoppy aftertase overkill.

Got any brands to recommend?

Alaska has a new coffee brown ale that was delicious. Heritage Coffee Brown Ale. I tried it last night.

I would love to try that coffee ale as well..

I have tried a few...

Was this it??

I can understand. Coors and Olympia used to rule out west. You couldn't get either east of the Mississippi. Same thing here. You couldn't get Stroh's. Schaefer or Schlitz west of the Mississippi. Old Style and Hamms were the main beers in the western great lakes region. Most of these regional brands began to die in the 70's due to the beer wars and the 80's were a tough time for beer fans as the Gods of Wall Street drive for profits caused most of the macro-lager breweries that Bud and Miller hadn't bought up into adding cheaper rice and corn into making their beers and beer quality went downhill big time. If you drank a bottle of Schlitz in 1960 then fast forwarded to 1985 you wouldn't have recognized it as the same product, it had been diluted down to piss water with hardly any malt or hop flavor. Which pretty much describes most macro-lagers of the 1980's. If you want a taste of what mid 80's macro-lagers tasted like get a six pack of Milwaukee's Best. It's spot on for mid 80's Bud.

The good thing about that though is that the beer wars of the 70's that killed off many of the famous regional lager brands was the catalyst for the micro-brewery revolution in the late 80's. In the 1980's the U.S. probably had the worst mass produced beer in the word. Fuck even Sam Mig in the Philippines was better than that diluted horse piss Budweiser that rednecks love to swill in this country. By the mid 90's and to this day, the best beers in the world are being produced in the good ole US of A thanks to the micro-brewery revolution. Though our macro-lagers still suck but are a cheap buzz for godless heathens like Skidmark.

Shiner is just okay, it's still not up to Alaskan standards.

We're fortunate to have one of the very best micro-breweries in the country in Columbus. The Columbus Brewing Company "CBC" is fairly pricey and hard to distribute cause it's neither pasteurized or filtered. Most of its products have a bit of a hazy appearance due to that but OMG the flavor! For Hop head their IPA is favorably compared to Dogfishead 60 minute IPA and they can't keep their Bodhi double IPA in stock cause Hop heads scarf it up as fast as they make it. In fact their IPA's are doing so well they just recently expanded their brewery. I'm not the biggest fan in the world of IPA's though. If I wanted something cold and bitter I'd marry a Republican.
