guinness and heineken pull out of the st patricks day parade
- Thread starter tem217
- Start date
It has been clearly stated by the parade organizers on numerous occasions that these folks are welcome to march but that NO organization is permitted to march under a banner proclaiming their sexual preference. These three beer companies have now proclaimed themselves to be spineless and likely have offended all people who wish to see the long standing traditions of the St. Patrick's Day Parade upheld. F&%k 'em, I won't drink their swill ... No loss what-so-ever for me.

Don't apologize for expressing your opinion, Grump . . . it's what you believe. I often disagree with some of the opinions expressed both here and elsewhere. That doesn't make me right, and it doesn't make the other guys wrong. I still respect them, and I hope they respect me. I spent 21 years of my life in the USAF, attempting to defend every American's right to hold their own opinions, and I will do that again whenever and wherever I can.

Anyone remember Schaefer Beer? Brewed and bottled in good old Brooklyn and was, in my humble opinion, the best local beer until they upped and moved to the Lehigh Valley. Oh for the good old days.

Schaefer beer, well they helped build the first NE Patriots Stadium in Foxboro. It was a bare essential stadium, getting there was a nightmare, only traffic access was Rt 1. 2 lanes each way, they would change the lane configuration depending your direction of travel. Took Jo to a game when she visited me from Chicago, they had long aluminum benches, a game in November, well it is a miracle we are together! She literally froze her ass off! I would like to nominate beers for the worst! Jax, Lone Star, and Pearl from Texas, now I know where cattle piss! And everytime I see Ballantine Ale mentioned, think of my dad!

Rheingold on Kent Avenue in Brooklyn also. If you recall the movie, Bridge on the river Kwai, the tune from that movie..Colonel Bogey March.. was made into a Rheingold commercial. And of course, there was Knickerbocker beer, made on the upper east side of Manhattan.
"Vote, vote for Miss Rheingold, Miss Rheingold 1959!"
The old Knickerbocker brewery is now the site of the Rupert Towers development from 90th Street to about 94th between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. In fact the Rupert family and many of their employees were instrumental in donating funds to build Our Lady of Good Counsel Church about 127 years ago.
