Fitting that they want to censor this groups ability to share their ideas about censorship.
Free speech is an American right, not a radical political idea.

I'm pretty sure Berry used to hold events and do tours with them- as well as talk about them on air. No clue about their H-E-B numbers, but that influence is probably something to consider as well.

Saloon Door is the best craft brewer in Texas and its really not even close.

Ridiculous AF tastes like heaven.

Sorry. Carry on.

The best beer I have ever had is Wholistic Hazy from the Galleria Whole Foods brewery in Houston. The dude who runs it is a freaking guru and it's his true passion, and he's a great dude. Everything they do is great, but that hazy is the best beer I think I've ever had or ever will. Wish they would start selling it at other locations.

Everyone I've introduced this to has gotten hooked…

Pro groomer; pro censorship. What a combo.

Boo. Before this, Southern star was on my list of good breweries in Houston. List getting shorter since Karback was bought by inbev a few years back.

Good:

Walking Stick
Frost Town

Worst:
No Label


Don't forget Eureka Heights - Aggie owned as well.

There are a lot of good options for groceries.

If conservatives ever voted with their feet in large numbers this crap would stop.

**** that beer. It's now on my list of never buy. I used to get the bombshell and it was ok.

Eureka Heights is woke as hell. They just about pride themselves on it. Having said that, they make some decent beer. Mini Boss is my favorite there.

ETA- I'd be interested to see the rental agreement that was signed

He states on his personal Facebook page that he didn't have an agreement. I don't believe him.

Spindletop's Houston Haze is a really solid hazy as well, and up until recently was 8.99 a 6er at wally world, which was an absolute steal. It's 9.99 now, which is still considerably cheaper then HEB.

They are feigning neutrality while not being neutral.

Neutrality is a myth.

It would be poor planning by the organizers and poorer business practices by the brewery, but I could see it being verbal only or probably a email confirmation/exchange. Still potentially enforceable if someone wanted to make an issue out of it.

I like their beers but this was a straight chicken**** move on their part.

That's the one I hate the most. I don't know if it's the type of hops they use or the yeast, but either way, it's got some kind of nasty funk taste.

Which reinforces just how powerful HEB is in woke matters. This issue is completely irrelevant to HEB but they are willing to try to destroy a vendor to make a point.
Is it just the gay brother or are the kids also screwed up in the head?

Nobody going to buy the gay ass southern star beer at HEB now. Always lose dropping to knees instead of making a stand.

So Kyle was going to speak at Southern Star, but HEB threatened to stop purchasing their product so SS caved in to their demands? Is that the basic summary?
