"She" was in reference to the beer. Calm yourself down. In fact; have a Yuengling.

The ones that stop drinking it, must not have liked it much anyway.

but that is their choice. they can go ahead and cut off their noses to spite their face. i might have to try yuengling now.

I think there's a difference between the owners of a company, as private citizens, supporting Trump, and the owners announcing that the company supports Trump. The former is fine; the latter is problematic to me, as politics really shouldn't be involved with what I'm drinking. Unless it's a hate group or something, I don't care what the owners think.

Is it problematic across the board or only those companies which support a candidate you don't approve of?

I ask because owners of companies are, in many people's minds, the company. Bill Gates for Microsoft as an example, or Steve Jobs for Apple in the past.

happiness not in your future....


is there anything you will eat or drink or wear given your high standards?


Hey, hillary takes donations from countries that legally kill gays. so you must be voting for a third party.


find out what beer hillary drinks and you can enjoy beer again.


Reminds me of early kids breakfast cereals marketing strategy.... a kid will only eat the cereal his super hero does. Worked for Wheaties and Ovaltine. Kids sure are naieve.

How would you feel about this:

Oculus founder Palmer Luckey is spending big on anti-Hillary memes - Polygon

The guy is losing support due to the fact he is funding anti-hillary memes, yet is it not very hypocritical that if he were funding anti-trump memes I very doubt he would?

With the proliferation of microbreweries today, there is almost certainly a better, more local lager to drink than that beer, regardless.


I haven't had a Yuengling in donkey's years. We have a local all German-style brewery that is miles better.

And neither Yuengling or Chik-fil-A care even an iota.

I'm old enough to remember when Yuengling was a reasonably priced working man's beer until they realized that idiots were perfectly willing to shell out three times the price for it if they reinvented themselves as a "micro brew" .

They are America's oldest brewery, trust me....they will survive your anti-Trump boycott without a hiccup.

Your choice, ma'am, but you'll be missing out.

Never understood why any business would want to get political. Seems to me it is a good way to alienate potential customers. Same thing with actors and singers.
