    I think it’s their crappy beer. And who cares since they aren’t even an American owned company?

    They do provide many thousands of American jobs though.

    The brand was already losing market share before the boycott. I guess the moral of the story is never underestimate the impact of easily triggered snowflakes. Who would have thought that they could be triggered to point of launching a boycott based on a single Instagram post.

    That's what got me. I wasn't aware of this in real time but apparently it all came about because of a single (?) can of BL that was sent to a Trans person? So freakin' silly. Such snowflakes.
