Country music icon John Rich, one half of the sputtering duo of “Big And Rich”, authors of such monumental contributions to American Culture such as “Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)” and “Hillbilly Jedi”, really has a major case of the feels for his fans who identify as beer brands, particularly those who gain their identity from the Bud Light label, who threw a big wrench into the beer drinking universe earlier this week by featuring a young transgender woman in some of their advertising.
Rather than sharing their favorite brand of horse piss with some folks who do not share their stunted view of a world revolving around over sized trucks and beer joints, and rather than being seen as tolerant with anyone they consider less worthy of drawing breath than themselves because of their innate gender identifications, stalwart defenders of what is considered “normal” in their circles, turncoat Bud Light drinkers have spent the last few days coming up with new ways to buy and destroy vast quantities of the rebel brew – disregarding the fact that Bud Light could give two shits what you do with their product as long as they get their money.
Not the smartest, these folks…
Sounds like the makings of a great new country song.

Yeah, Ron, the song writes itself – “My Woman Left Me For a Transgender, And I Can’t Even Dink My Beer”.
This is the dumbest fucking shit in the history of dumb fucking shit. 😂

Poor things.
What do they do? 🤦♀️ They stop being hateful bigots & realize every single company listed including the car companies understands that the LGBTQ+ community is a community of people who deserve all the same rights, respect, & privileges that everyone else has.

"What do I do?"
Sit still. Close your eyes. Breathe in, breathe out. Think about this massive universe we inhabit, the shortness of life, the little time we have to spend with those we love. Realize that having meltdowns over the existence of queer people is a waste of life.

Yup
Maybe they can sober up and read a book?

Or they can grow up and drink the beer they like because the trans person on the can didn’t hurt them.

Quit Crying In Their Beer would be a good 1st step. https://t.co/o7EDimC2k7

Ding, Ding, Ding folks, we have a winner…
These beer companies have been sponsoring LGBTQ events for the LAST 40 YEARS. The only thing that's new here is this newest iteration of the easily triggered white conservative snowflake and their culture wars against anyone not exactly like them.

Next, I suppose Rich will accuse woke beer of conspiring to hogtie his declining popularity.
Just like someone else does…
Mass-produced american beer is the nastiest tasting piss every created. Any person hanging their identity on piss water is pretty fucking sad. And we have so many of them living in the u.s. Fucking embarrassing. What’s next? They’re going to stop eating bacon because the picture on the package shows a pig in a skirt?
Oh, dear Goddess,these men are dumb.
They cannot read a book because they read at the 4th grade level a5 best. One too.many concussions from high school football, but not good enough for a college scholarship, so they work.at a convenience store, watch NASCAR and football on Sunday, and couldn’t define “critical.race theory” to save their lives but know they hate it, and .wail that women lie about rape all the time.
Also, Samuel.Adams is good beer. A,lot of MA micro breweries are excellent. There is a Wedding Stout that is as good as Guinness which I have had in Ireland. Blue Paw is a blueberry Ale that is as good as those I drank in England.
Southern beer, however,,is undrinkable. We tried a bunch over 12 years; no brand never made it to the second day. The sole exception was Voodoo Ale, but Katrina put them permanently out of business.
I’m a Canadian, We have good beer here! And to answer your question about what do you do? Drink the Bud Light for Pete’s sake!!!!! Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face………lmao
This is as stupid as the “war on Christmas” because some of us prefer a more inclusive Happy Holidays. It’s as stupid as the uproar over the design on Starbucks coffee cups a few years back. We have way too much time to waste if these are the issues people actually get worked up over.
Never heard of this asshat. Wish I never had given the reason I now HAVE heard of him! Look, way back when you were a kid, or maybe hadn’t even been born there was a “thing” when the phrase “real men don’t eat quiche” entered the lexicon. It was one of those amusing things, and wound up even generating a cookbook (which I bought for the hell of it – glad I did because it was funny – one memorable line was “real men understand a balanced diet consists of a quarter pounder with cheese in each hand”) that had a bunch of recipes of mostly “game day” type things. If memory serves, Lite Beer didn’t get much love when people joked about this whole “real men don’t…” thing. Lite Beer? Real Men drink REAL beer by god! So, remembering all that I find this whole gnashing of teeth and rending of garments with a WTF? type reaction. I never much cared for Bud Lite, or regular Bud for that matter. I’ve always preferred lager type beers to pilsners. For years though I haven’t had any beer at all. Prior to Trump’s improbable win n 2016 each year when the Marine Corps’ birthday came I’d have my own little ceremony at home. I’d drink the traditional toasts with Scotch (for a while even with a bottle of the Globe and Anchor Brand from the Marine Hotel in San Francisco) and read some selections from the Green Side Out series of books while sipping a couple of beers. I’d never even finish the six-pack in the subsequent months! I’d still enjoy a beer now and then if offered. Just one or perhaps two but have no social life. But if it happened to be a beer I liked who else drank or endorsed it wouldn’t factor into my thinking.
Real men drink Canadian beer.
Not Mississippi river piss…
I like some Mexican brews.
Superior, Bohemia…
(I like Anchor, but it’s harder to find now. The beer that should have made SF famous.)
Although Labatts is tough to top, there is nothing like an ice cold Tsing Tao….
I remember all that! The fact that quiche Lorraine is crammed with bacon and cheese gave me big ironic giggles. And then there was:
“Didja ever taste a lite beer?”
“No, not really. I tried, but there was nothing there.”
What a bunch of corn ball.
I think it’s totally wrong to compare American beer to horse piss.
It’s nowhere even near that strong – a better comparison would be the urine of a dehydrated gnat
I drink REAL ‘Budweiser’ (from a town in Bohemia in the Czech Republic called Budovice (in Czech) and Budweis in German) and, believe me, the US beer of the same name is nowhere even near it in taste.
Btw – there was court case in England some years back when the US Budweiser company (Budweiser Ansbach) took the Czech company (Budweiser Budvar)to court claiming that the Czechs had no right to the name. The judge, in his summing up said, basically, “If you check, they were brewing beer there before Columbus was even born and if anyone is entitled to te name ‘Budweiser’ THEY ARE.”
Have one on me LOL

Anyone remember Stroh’s when it was fire brewed using Detroit River water in those huge copper pots? That was good beer…
Those free tours were unbelievable.
Bring your own eye patch….
We have so many microbreweries in Oregon that one need never touch the tasteless commercial crap. It’s like getting coffee grounds out of a can instead of grinding your own beans. The flavor just doesn’t compare.
MA too. A lot of great small breweries. We don’t go.lower echelon than William’s and Samuel.Adams. Our local.farmer’s market has a huge fridge display of local.beer and ale and stout. You could probably try a different one each night for half a year.
Also, Samuel.Adams is good beer. A,lot of MA micro breweries are excellent. There is a Wedding Stout that is as good as Guinness which I have had in Ireland. Blue Paw is a blueberry Ale that is as good as those I drank in England.

Can’t drink beer anymore. But, after the first cold one… who gives a rat’s behind. When working and trying not to die in a warehouse… really just neeeded for pain relief. No oxy for me. Oh well
A new country song, the first line of which says, “Fucking drunk idiots on parade in their big ol’ diesel trucks, with a can of Bud Light between their legs that makes their dick feel big.” Too stupid to live for much longer.
Yeah, like I’m going to worry about a bunch of idiots that have two big nuts hanging from their trailer hitch. I got a grandkid who is troubled with his identity. Hey that’s not really my business unless someone is bothering him then I’ll make it my business. Get out there and be yourself. If it doesn’t quite conform, oh well.
