They're probably protesting that they're being asked to do work that they agreed to do when they were hired for a rate that was also agreeable.
I mean that's just my guess.

They've been there a little over a month apparently. I see them all the time.

If I'm correct, that brewery does the contract brewing of Lone Star and Lone Star Light. They do not have time to be be sittin' round and bellyaching. Get your ass back to work you Union lackeys and brew beer
"Green" is the new RED.
I don't think it's contract brewing as I'm pretty sure they own the Lone Star label. Just glad they finally put the puzzles back on the caps.

Hells yeah!
Some are protesting "taste great" while others are going with "less filling"

Disregard, upon further review, you're right it is contracted as the Lone Star label is apparently owned by Pabst now.
Either way, oh no what ever will we do if they stop making ****ty beer.

Dear New Army,
Back then in its heyday it's about all we olds could afford. You undoubtedly never tried Pearl , Schlitz and Shiner Premium and Miller were too damn expensive!
I thought pearl had the puzzles.
OP asks a question and within less than 20 replies it's a beer snobbery thread.
Also, the old need to remember that, I think it was PBR, was appropriated by the neck beards before they moved on to soil themselves over IPAs.
So what are they picketing for? And why does Molsen Coors put up with it?

PBR moved up the pole when Lone Star brewery was shut down completely until Olympia came in and bought the brand. If you could find Lone Star at that shutdown time you were King!
Or they could just go find another horse.Old Sarge said:

Oh damn it flew right by me, their asking for more hops in their beer!
And the inflatable rat is made by a non-union company. I've dealt with that rat my entire career.

According to the Teamsters, the company's most recent proposal upped the previously offered -- and rejected -- salaries by a just five-cents-per-hour increase.

When The Chicken first opened, a 12oz Pearl was 45 cents.

If they had any self respect, they wouldn't be creating piss and marketing it as beer.

They brought Pearl to Ft Jackson commissary. We had Merle and Pearl parties with Carolina folks.
In the early 90's I think it was priced around 88 cents, so could just pay with a dollar bill with tax.PLUM LOCO said:

They probably want to start brewing real beer.

On my recall, the puzzles were originally on the Pearl squatty body bottles. At some point, the puzzles move to the Lone Star longneck bottles. But by the time that happened, my eyes were too bad to read those tiny little things.
They have been there for quite awhile. I have seen them twice headed to The Winstar.
There's a nice spot a half mile down the road or so @ Altamesa for panhandling. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if that's where they ended up.

Um no. They are protesting greed. It's always strange to me the people who stand next to massive corporations over humans.

In 1997, a long neck of Lone Star was $1.15. During that summer when most students were gone they lowered it to $0.85. Hans, the daytime bartender was annoyed because most folks just dumped the change into the jar. During the school year he was making $0.85/bottle in tips, but During the summer he only made $0.15/bottle in tips. The former was generous, the latter was still over 15%.
Using actual numbers that apply to this specific situation, will you provide context around your statement?Double Diamond said:Ghost91 said:

I struggle with statements like this since, to my knowledge, they chose (at some point) to work for the wages they receive. I also don't think they are being forced to work for those wages currently unless Texas has changed its labor laws.
Completely believable. College kids are notoriously poor tippers, in the first place, and drunk ones…well, anyway.

Corporations are completely made up of humans. It's humans vs. humans, every time.

They raped me then, I paid 65 cents in the late 80's.
