As a homosexual, Coors has never been my jam anyhow but I quite liked some of these other brands here in Europe. But not anymore! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coors_strike_and_boycott

Personally for me, it's refreshing to see a list of companies to avoid which includes no company I buy from. Condolences on your lessened beverage options 😓

alf-tupper.bsky.social•33 days ago

We used to have local beers in the UK, now we have Mega brewers from Holland and the US shutting down all local brewers and producing Monopiss.

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

In the context of refusing to support companies which are aligning themselves with the current American president, what are you adding to the conversation

alf-tupper.bsky.social•33 days ago

Just that Brewers are the worst monopolists in any industry, they reduce competition deliberately eliminate jobs, become tools of corrupt politicians whom they seek to appease, none of which could happen if the indpendent brewers they swallowed up had been left alone. Power corrupts.

msbak.bsky.social•33 days ago

Will be easy to let these go.

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

It sure will, won't it

mudwiggler.bsky.social•33 days ago

There's hundreds of other brews to pick from.

feralgrumpy.bsky.social•33 days ago

Major sponsor of the Heritage Foundation. 🖕🏼

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

I'm hoping that middle finger isn't for me

feralgrumpy.bsky.social•33 days ago

Heavens no, sorry if it seemed that way.

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

Thank you. The response to this has been a lot

tamimcclung.bsky.social•32 days ago

Not a big sacrifice, they’re all horse piss anyway.

jerryplaysguitar.bsky.social•33 days ago

It will be known as The Capitulation.

jonesy2653.bsky.social•33 days ago

Thank you!

normaaace.bsky.social•33 days ago

I might quit drinking beer altogether stay vigilant in these darkening times.

thunderstruk.bsky.social•33 days ago

I never drank any of that swill anyway. Yuengling is another right wing brand I will not touch (though, at least they're better tasting). Microbrews only for me!

gibbsmoryss.bsky.social•33 days ago

Damn, guess I'm not getting any more of that good passionfruit cider Rekorderlig does.

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yup. I'm cross about it too

skylark414.bsky.social•33 days ago

Good to know, thanks

tyronecapricorn.bsky.social•33 days ago

Thanks for the tip, I'll switch Staropramen for Budvar.

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

Also my plan

danmorgie.bsky.social•33 days ago

Aww not Blue Moon

aebuckley2.bsky.social•33 days ago

No more Blue Moon

cannedjazz.bsky.social•33 days ago

Coors was one of the first companies to fund Paul Weyrich and his comically evil agenda since the 1970s. No surprise they’d do away with DEI.

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

And yet their ownership of these European brands was a surprise to me

wrong-bon-jovi.bsky.social•33 days ago

Some of these surprised me too

gerryalley.bsky.social•33 days ago

What are their bands in Canada?

wal-martian.bsky.social•33 days ago

Shit beer

mtohanamamabear.bsky.social•33 days ago

Time to find a good local brewery

mudwiggler.bsky.social•33 days ago

I know one five miles away; Ralph's Ruin.

alohaloli76.bsky.social•33 days ago

More reason to home brew.

stbunt.bsky.social•33 days ago

🙏

caroschulz.bsky.social•33 days ago

It’s all terrible I the US anyway, except maybe the occasional Blue Moon with a slice of orange in it, but I can certainly live without that!

jenndraws.bsky.social•33 days ago

They also own the Miller Brewing Company.

jenndraws.bsky.social•33 days ago

I wonder if they’ll continue hosting pride festival in Denver. Iirc its I think the third largest annual pride festival in the US.

paulcarroll15.bsky.social•32 days ago

I like the beer from Franciscan Well, but (although they still style themselves as "the home of craft beer in Cork") I was disappointed when they sold out to Coors. I'd say many Irish customers still aren't aware.

cairdiul.bsky.social•32 days ago

It doesn't seem so! Hence the alert

lilbouncingsoul.bsky.social•33 days ago

I quit drinking (several years ago) at just the right time... bc a Blue Moon always sounds good but I don't wanna support as many of these companies as I can

roseatabey.bsky.social•33 days ago

They did that back in September..

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

And the news reached me today. What is your point

mudwiggler.bsky.social•33 days ago

Shit, I liked the Sharps beers; I didn't know they'd been taken over by brewers of shitty beer though🙁

cowgirl52.bsky.social•33 days ago

I don't drink ANYMORE! My family made me do it and they are no longer near me!

wijisworld.bsky.social•33 days ago

Oh cool a bunch of brands I’ve never even heard of!

wakahisasensei.bsky.social•33 days ago

Might be time for you to get into Guinness. If I’m not mistaken, they’re quite committed to inclusion.

wrong-bon-jovi.bsky.social•33 days ago

Thank you for sharing this!

hal0012.bsky.social•33 days ago

Nothing on this list, I like now. I won't miss them. However, more immediate, Target, Walmart and Lowes and probably Amazon, I'm gonna miss, but I still won't be shopping there any longer.

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

Target and Lowe's don't exist in Europe. Walmart is here in the UK under the Asda brand. Amazon is of course everywhere. I'm talking about the UK and western Europe

georgeous.one•33 days ago

Asda was sold in 2023 to the Issa brothers and a VC group.

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

I didn't know this and my first post saying so sounded a bit sarcastic, so thanks for spreading the word

georgeous.one•33 days ago

I didn't see that, but it's all good.

nwnandh.bsky.social•33 days ago

While i don’t buy any of these brands i don’t get why scaling back DEI is a bad thing, surely hiring staff by merit rather than just to tick a box for its own sake makes more business sense? If not please explain

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

Fuck off

joes-spot.bsky.social•33 days ago

I quit them in 2000!

analogbetty.bsky.social•33 days ago

long time racists no surprise

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

I have been well aware about their misbehaviour in the US but their ownership of these brands here in Europe was a surprise to me. I'd rather direct my cynicism into the satisfaction of a one-person boycott

analogbetty.bsky.social•33 days ago

Who needs to drink nazi beer with so many great alternatives! Thank you for the list!

aviking2.bsky.social•33 days ago

Thanks

tedonker.bsky.social•33 days ago

Fine at least in Michigan we have plenty of independent breweries.

cairdiul.bsky.social•33 days ago

Great! I'm in London, where it was a surprise to me Coors owned so many of these brands. What is your point
