Scott Walker Beer Buddies Boycott !!!!

Olde English, Red Dog, Southpaw, Steel Reserve,

Call or email Miller Beer today and tell them what you think of their support for Scott Walker!

The phone number is 414-931-2000 or 1-800-645-5376.

A feedback form can be found athttps://www.millercoors.com/feedback.aspx.

Three of five people listed as Key Executives at Miller Brewing Company by business week (Mr. David Zini, Mr. Mike Jones and Mr. Kevin Self) donated money to Scott Walker (none to Barrett) in the last election. Mr. Mike Jones was the most generous and his $5,000 donation is what landed MillerCoors on the list.



Meanwhile, put me down for a Corona, or maybe a National Premium if I'm on the east coast.

1. Beer tastes like what I imagine goat pee to taste like.
But if I find myself wanting a nice cold glass of goat pee I will avoid the Miller brands.

3. Agreed
I may have one or two a year, but they will either be local micro brews or Union made AB products.

I haven't had any Miller products in about 35 years or so and have no reason to do so...

So I guess I count in the boycott, actually beat them to it.

5. Just got back from the grocery store--giving out free samples of Coors!
Actually Blue Moon - made by Coors. I told the girls running the promo booth that this is on the boycott list - they didn't know it and are both very anti Walker. It was funny. Never had samples of beer before in a grocery store! Also - BIG sale on Sargento cheese. Wonder how they are doing?

7. Molson Canadian is our "table beer."
As I generally do not boycott union products, and I like Molson Canadian, I'll keep drinking it.
