The Coors family hasn’t owned Coor’s brewing in decades. MolsonCoors owns the brand and are a Canadian company with HQ in Chicago.
Stop! You're complicating somebody's oversimplified plan to pretend they're actually taking action on something. Now they'll have to look up from scrolling and figure out some other empty gesture.
Since all this shit started to go down I have only been buying local craft stuff here in Canada. More specifically I try to buy only stuff produced in my city or province. It's been a good time, found some stuff I reallllly like.
Every time there's a boycott, its something I'm already boycotting because they either already behaved shitty in the past, or their product is shit. I keep getting told to boycott United for busting guitars or assaulting passengers, etc., but I boycotted them decades ago because they're expensive with the shittiest service in the biz.
I've been boycotting Coors beer since i was 21, because it's undrinkable.
At this point it might be easier to list all the companies that don't support conservatives.
Ok. Here is that list:
There are more obvious reasons to not drink Coors ever.
But what if i like the taste of carbonated dishwater?
Just carbonate your own dishwasher.
Isn't SodaStream another company we're trying to avoid though? Or are we bottle carbonating our own artisanal dishwater?
That's why I got a used soda stream and third party co2 cannisters, it's not perfect but they get the minimum amount of money from me.
Then I can drink all the carbonated dishwater I want!
Are there actual third party canisters or did you fit an external co2 tank to your soda stream? I’ve been wanting to modify mine to save money on tank exchanges.
At the gas station they sell fully compatible soda stream CO2 canisters.
I have been looking at getting a 10l CO2 tank but the local prices makes it not really worth the effort, at best it would be the same price.
There's also an adapter that let's you fill the 60l sodastream bottles direct from a CO^2^ cylinder. I went with this, as I wanted the unit in the kitchen, but didn't want the cylinder there.
People drink coors?
Coors is great for a party beer. A beer you buy to play drinking games and you're cool with sharing. Beyond that? It's shit.
Coors is the same has all American light beer. Made to be massively consumed. Piss water.
I’d rather drink piss thank you very much
"Is"? He died more than 20 years ago.
Let's check once, just to be sure.
If you're drinking Coors to begin with your life is already so shit that you get a pass
Coors has been right wing and anti-union forever, I started boycotting them in the '70s.
Check out Goods Unite Us App.
Let's you filter which companies do what, and even see who they funded.
Once in a while, I found missing information. Fortunately, they have comments so you can give your own take or fill in additional info.
I use this app as well. It’s interesting to see which companies outright choose one party to donate to and others who play both sides. Been using the app to transition away from fascist supporting brands and products.
That sucks, they make pretty good beer. Any worthwhile alternatives to it?
if someone tells me some right wing bullshit coming from yuengling, then i quit life
edit: jfc. sam adams too. oh well, better to buy local craft anyway
Oh my sweet summer child...

Bummer.
Does this count as attempted murder?
They were big supporters of Trump on the first two go arounds. They are from PA and not from the couple blue cities that makes PA purple, so you can draw your own conclusions there.
Honestly... At this point making your own at home is the best way to go about having beers. :/
Been doing that for years, if you have a homebrew shop in your area, you can get started with a fairly minimal amount of cost.
I've been tossing around the idea of making my own. I love harp and bass beers. Harp is able to be found again... But bass is out of production.
So the only way I'm going to get it is make my own :/
Could you recommend a beginner setup? I would like to make a beer as close to Coors Light at home - kinda weird, but that's interesting for me atm. Cheers!
you can get away with as little as a kettle for boiling wort, a fermentor setup (bucket, lid, airlock), and some stuff for bottling (siphon/hose, bottling wand, bottles, caps, and a capping tool if using glass bottles). That will allow you to start brewing extract-based beers. The next logical step is BIAB, which is the same setup except you add in a bag to hold grains and your process adds the mashing step.
I'd recommend getting at least a couple extract brews under your belt, then upgrading your setup. Prices and where to buy depends on where you are, but there's plenty of shops throughout North America (and EU/Aus/etc) that sell equipment kits
Thank you for the direction! I'm looking forward to giving it a go - this Spring might be a good time for it.
There are tons of small breweries that are run by great people too!
Local beer nerds are often left wing. Find those ones and drink that.
