Went to a baseball game last night. The lines for Bud light were non-existent everyone was drinking lone Star beer.................
Lone Star brewery, built in 1884, was the first large mechanized brewery in texas. Adolphus bush, of Anheuser busch, found it and along with a group of San Antonio businessman. Lone Star is the national beer of texas. The brand has endured and refreshed generations of Texas. LOL

Pabst owns Lone Star
-----------------------------
Except Pabst doesn’t brew any of its own beer, and instead contracts it out to MillerCoors. They are nothing but a holding company of brands - No in-house production.
----------------------------
Even so, here is a Pabst marketing campaign.
Pabst partnered with digital media company Vice on two documentaries and a series of portraits about the ever-evolving American Dream that will run around the Memorial Day and Fourth of July holidays. The videos spotlight the diversity of modern America, and feature Niecee X, a poet and leader of the Black Women’s Defense League; Subhi, a gay Syrian refugee; Erika, a police officer and veteran; Violet, a Texas drag queen; Mai, a Vietnamese farmer and Outspoken Bean, a Houston poet.

Now some guy is promoting his own ‘Woke-Free Beer’.
It will be made in some small brewery but it makes you wonder if they also make other private labels/products that could be LGBTQ friendly.

In the Kerry/Dubya election, the conservatives had this conservative ketchup so they would be protesting Heinz ketchup, which they thought was enriching Kerry’s wife. She had sold most of her part of Heinz. The conservative ketchup was very expensive and then you had to pay shipping, which was not cheap either. I emailed one of the companies wondering if they had actually bought or leased a factory to make a short-term fad product. They contracted it out to a gourmet ketchup company ---- in California.
The conservative sheeple were buying overpriced ketchup from Liberalfornia to protest something that was not happening.
I wished them well in their endeavors. They found a niche market to make a good buck.
Funny thing - Heinz Corp was primarily supporting republicans.

There was also a big flailex about 'freedom fries'.
Funny thing; they were still called french fries in the Dubya White House menu.

In almost 30 years of living here, every single television station has had some reason to be boycotted. Who they hired. Who they fired. Some position they took on religion or politics in an editorial. Or who owned them. Or some show they presented or refused to present.
