Do not drink list

[cycopath25]

With the merger a while back between AB InBev and SAB Miller it get's tricky to decipher what beers we should or should not boycott at this point.

I enjoy my High Life but it's hard to tell if they are part of AB InBev/SAB Miller or Molsons/Coors. I believe it's Molsons/Coors. I push we make that the official beer of ISU.

Best grouping there, IMO, is the Heineken box.

Wait, we have to boycott all of those? Guess it’s time fire up my moonshine still.

Does this mean we all need to become craft beer snobs?

Honestly, going on a boycott of AB for doing what just about every company would do from a PR standpoint isn't much more rational than going after someone for posts they made as a kid.

A lot of people looking ridiculous on both sides of this story today.

I guess we'll see what venmo does or doesn't do and compare notes.

Actually, if you just make a noticeable dent in the currently high Busch Light sales in Iowa, that sends a message I suppose.

We have Yuengling here in OH. I’ve been gravitating towards Yuengling Light for my mass drinking days and nights.

The outrage at AB is needed. The lack of pushback normally is why they do this crap. We need to make the hurt for cutting ties worse than the hurt had they stood behind him.

It's better to drink US made beers, instead of the foreign owned Busch Light. 'Merica

The big thing is the Busch light. I realize AB is the maker. However, just by drinking something other than Busch and allowing them free advertisement by sending the Busch light guy and doing all the "Iowa people love us" stuff that we used to like. If we just quit drinking that beer. It will send a message. I switched to coors light last night. It's not bad.

Of those beers that are comparable, I like Coors Light the best because the mountains turn blue.

You know what would be awesome and make a big statement? If someone more ambitious and clever than me organized a Busch Light dumping program (or similar).

I"m thinking in a pubic place, very accessible, where people arrive and drop off their full cans of Busch Light. I could see them either dumping and draining them or just leaving them in a huge pile.

Be crazy if you could also get a competing beer distributor there that would provide an exchange program.

Just spit balling ideas....but if you could get the media coverage (which I'm sure you could), it would make a huge statement IMO. "From Beloved, to Hated".

I was just at a Mexican restaurant and asked for a Tecate and they told me they didn't serve it so I got a Dos Equis instead. That seems odd now...

Keystone could send Keith Stone.
