Urban South Brewery Supporting Gun Control Lobby

Don’t know if this was posted. Apparently Urban South is going to donate some proceeds to Mom Demand Action.

I’m sure lots of brewery owners and such are left-leaning, but just sort of surprising they’d actively put their business out there like this. NOLA is very blue, but Louisiana is very red on the issue of gun rights.

This will be fun after the thread last week on supporting businesses with different political opinions.

And?
Are they a brewery? Do They make good beer?
That's all i need to know really
Do you watch movies or listen to music. If so you are most likely supporting a product produced by the far left... Same thing basically

In general or in certain cities? That’s rather a broad assumption.

A lot of us probably saw this post on FB.
Does not bother me that US is hosting this.

So we are talking about Urban South donating a $1 for each beer sold?
It's on their event rental page that they "can offer $1 back per beer purchased during your event." LINK /
If there are any right-wing groups willing to be that close to Walmart and River Garden after sunset then they can have a fundraiser too.

I don't care if they are left leaning but if proceeds from the purchases I make go to support the removal of my rights than I'll buy my beer somewhere else.

Response:
Jacob Landry Hi all, though it would be appropriate for me to chime in. For the record, we have about 10 events per week at the brewery. This one in particular was organized by a group of moms who live in New Orleans who are concerned about gun violence in their city. Some folks have told us that beer and politics shouldn't mix. I wholeheartedly disagree. What is a better way to discuss differing views than over beer? We will not shy away from fostering dialogue - breweries, bars, backyards are way better places for that than Facebook. We donated $29,000 to charity last year, and are already at $15,000 this year. That money has gone to 150+ different groups. If we worried about offending folks with every event we hosted or dollar we donated, we wouldn't be the generous, community-minded company we strive to be. If you want to dialogue, come and dialogue, but we should all be learning that arguments on Facebook never solved any real challenges.

Urban South hosts and donates money to a myriad of groups. This is way overblown by people who just want something to bitch about.

Who gives a shite? This is the same stuff snowflakes get upset over--a business/brand that does not share the same beliefs as them.

What did the Bayou Teche owner say?

So even on this board, our intrepid posters sniff out "leftists" amd offensive political activists?

Good screw the gun nuts. Drink more beer!
Posted on 4/9/18 at 6:44 pm to ragincajun03
Wonder if they would host an event for a gun club? 
Someone needs to ask if they would hold an event for the NRA.

Don't care, as much as they would care that someone I know possibly..... might have.....concealed carried at their anniversary release. Not me, saying for a friend.
Posted on 4/9/18 at 9:28 pm to ragincajun03
It use to not bother me but now that it’s thrown in our face I won’t buy their shite
Posted on 4/10/18 at 10:18 pm to ragincajun03
So they’re smart and make good beer?
Shut up and take my money

Jacob and his team at Urban South make some great products. I guess a Fig pilsner is up next.
