Heh, At least there isn't a rainbow on the label.

I have to agree with one particular statement in the article.
"I hope the beer tastes good."

Because quite simply, if it's all about the name, a product like that will only be a flash in the pan, and then vanish forever.

I thought the same thing, along with 'I guess they didn't lookup "queer beer" on sites like Urban Dictionary first,': 1. bad beer with low alcohol content.

Bad beer with low alcohol content.....

Since I live in one of those states that only sells the weaker 3.2% beer in the grocery stores, that would describe a lot of what people already buy out here.

> "I hope the beer tastes good"

The third line in the slogan just might be, "Get used to it!"

Oooh! Look at the length of that.. um... "neck". And, that ring at the base! That ought to be good for...

Nevermind. I'm just not right in the head when I first wake up.

No, s'OK. I was thinking the same thing about that second ring. You just happened to dash into the gutter a couple of hours before I got there. :)

We already have queer beer. It's called Zima.

This certainly isn't the first time this has happened. I remember reading about "Wilde" bear years and years ago, one in Massachusetts about ten years ago, and I think there was even one locally that was targeted to the homos. I'm fuzzy on the details though, since I don't drink the stuff at all.

Now, if they made a diet cola and targeted it at bears, well...

Such a handy reusable bottle, too.
