Aye.

If it guaranteed it going away, I’d wear one.

For me it lacks the depth that it once had. I recall a richer, less superficial beer than this current version. Palates change of course, but notes suggest a change. Is that the beer or my palate? I guess we’ll never know

Sad.

Of course, but as soon as I know …

I certainly do that, but I have some non-negotiables too, and anyone being offended by such a sign is one of them. I ain’t got time to waste with those people. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Indeed, and BTW I should add that I’m self-aware enough to know that plenty of people in 2025 ARE offended by those signs, and that those people have a different world view than me. I’m just trying to make sure that I never, ever, ever interact with them. Ever.

OK, fair enough, but this highlights the weakness of digital interaction.

I think what matters to me here is this; are YOU personally alienated by this, and do YOU feel that it’s a ‘problem’? The answer to that matters to me, because if the answer to either is yes, you’re not a person I want to interact with. Whether it’s ‘good’ marketing in 2025 is not the Q for me.

Perhaps, but IF (and it is an if), you think that sign is an issue, then it’s not for the same reasons.

And I’m saying if that is truly alienating people, then society is fucked.

Well, if that sign is a reason for people to ‘boycott’ the establishment, then I’d say society is fucked. People need to get a grip. If the beer is shit, then fine, but if you think that sign is an ‘issue’ then I have nothing to say to you ever again. Jesus.

I’d consider your post ‘trolling’; I mean just chill FFS. Do you really think that’s a ‘problem’??

Jesus, have a beer and calm down.

Yes, volume has dropped off a cliff over the years.
