At this point it might be easier to list all the companies that don't support conservatives.

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 16 points 4 months ago

Ok. Here is that list:

There are more obvious reasons to not drink Coors ever.

[-] sloppychops@lemmy.ca 27 points 4 months ago

But what if i like the taste of carbonated dishwater?

[-] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 19 points 4 months ago

Just carbonate your own dishwasher.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Isn't SodaStream another company we're trying to avoid though? Or are we bottle carbonating our own artisanal dishwater?

[-] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

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!

[-] Lighttrails@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

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.

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.

[-] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

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.

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.

[-] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 months ago

The Coors family hasn’t owned Coor’s brewing in decades. MolsonCoors owns the brand and are a Canadian company with HQ in Chicago.

[-] asg101 13 points 4 months ago

Coors has been right wing and anti-union forever, I started boycotting them in the '70s.

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

I have boycotted Coors based on the piss poor taste of their beer since 2002

[-] golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago

Honestly... At this point making your own at home is the best way to go about having beers. :/

[-] normalexit@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

There are tons of small breweries that are run by great people too!

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago

Local beer nerds are often left wing. Find those ones and drink that.

[-] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

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 :/

[-] Kaliax@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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!

[-] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Kaliax@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Thank you for the direction! I'm looking forward to giving it a go - this Spring might be a good time for it.

[-] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

That sucks, they make pretty good beer. Any worthwhile alternatives to it?

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[-] CrimsonMishaps@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

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.
