Can you tell that to Yuengling, I would really like to partake in their beer without having to fly to Philly
- bsder 3y agoWell, you can get Yuengling in Texas, last I checked.
- Qworg 3y agoYuengling is made in Pittsburgh and Tampa.
- bsder 3y agoPottsville, which is over by Philadelphia, not Pittsburgh. And is also now brewed in Fort Worth: https://fortworthbusiness.com/restaurants/fort-worth-brewed-yuengling-beer-makes-texas-debut/ https://fortworthbusiness.com/restaurants/fort-worth-brewed-...
- tedunangst 3y agoThe press release is hysterical, insisting yuengling is America's oldest brewery while acknowledging their partner molson is over two centuries old. (Everyone knows Canada isn't America.) https://www.yuengling.com/news/yuengling-begins-westward-expansion-with-distribution-into-texas/ https://www.yuengling.com/news/yuengling-begins-westward-exp...
- vrosas 3y agoI stopped drinking Yuengling when they got cozy with Trump in 2016. So many other superior breweries in Philly - Yards, Victory, Attic just to name a few.
- pdntspa 3y agoI don't really believe in this whole stupid 'boycott them because they don't align with my values' bullshit, people should be free to express their political opinions however they see fit
- brewdad 3y agoAnd I can choose not to give my money to someone who will use it to fund politicians who want to actively harm members of my family. Ain’t capitalism grand?
- pdntspa 3y agoAs someone targetted by the GOP's bullshit, I still don't care. Half-assed personal boycotts don't present the kind of numbers needed to effect change. Trump and his cohorts getting their asses locked up does. Burning everything to the ground that belongs to neonazis does. The BLM protests did far more damage and effected far more change than the combined power of everyone who boycotts Chik-Fil-A, Hobby Lobby, or Yuengling.
- monodeldiablo 3y agoThey're not mutually exclusive. I can boycott products made by sociopaths and vote/protest/run for local office.
- debaserab2 3y agoPersonal boycotts don't have to have a large impact or meaning outside of however you feel about them. They're just for you: you can decide to allow your principles affect your economic activity or you can default into the powerless assumption that it's not worth the effort. I think it's a worthwhile exercise to ask yourself before you make a purchase somewhere that you feel OK with the ethical implications of your purchase - and I say this as someone who does compromise on my ethical positions constantly for convenience. It still matters.
- heartbreak 3y agoThe personal boycotts of Bud Light are hurting Anheuser-Busch InBev, aren’t they? Sales are down 30% in Q2.
- pdntspa 3y agoAlso, which of these have the most chance of being sold in California?
