Netroots Nation: Vote on a Union Beer
 |
|
By popular demand, Working America and the AFL-CIO are bringing back last year’s “Raise a glass for the working class” booth—otherwise known as the beer booth—at Netroots Nation. If you come by our booth anytime the exhibit hall is open and take an action for working families, you’re entitled to come back and sample union beer during the happy hours we’ll be holding next week on Thursday and Friday of the convention.
We’ll have updates coming soon about what actions you can take and exactly when beer will be served. (Last year the actions included writing to your members of Congress about health care reform or the Employee Free Choice Act, or joining Working America.) But right now, the big question is: What beer should we serve?
We’ll only be serving union beer, of course. Once again we’ll be handing out our handy wallet-sized union beer info cards (“Drink beer made by union members. You’ll feel better in the morning”), which list the following options:
All Miller products, including: (UAW)
Miller High Life, Genuine Draft and Lite
Milwaukee’s Best
Sharp’s
Icehouse, Red Dog
Hamm’s
All Anheuser-Busch products, including: (IAM)
Budweiser, Bud Light and Budweiser American Ale
Michelob
Shock Top
Busch
Natural Light
Rolling Rock
O’Doul’s
Leinenkugel’s (UAW)
Iron City (IUE-CWA)
Mad River Brewing Co. (IAM)
Henry Weinhard’s (UAW)
Unfortunately, the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas isn’t able to get all of these—our choices are Miller and Leinenkugel beers. But we still have to pick which Millers and which Leinenkugels, and when we’re figuring out the order, we want to know what you want. So take the poll; we’ll do our best to get something for everyone. And if you’re at Netroots Nation, come by the booth!

You are missing the beers made by the Schell Brewery in New Ulm, MN which is represented by the USW now. Second oldest family owned Brewery in the United States, celebrating 150 years. They now brew the Minnseosta Classic “Grain Belt Premium” and others. Here is a link: http://bit.ly/cT7Qs6
I don’t drink beer because of my diabeties. HOWEVER, in honor & in memory of my father, member of APWU & DC37, AFL.CIO, “Any beer except Schaffer’s”! So, on behalf of my father, I pick Miller High Life, The Champaign of Bottled Beer.

“Drink beer made by union members. You’ll feel better in the morning”
hmmm, is that with or without the fitfull slleep because I’m spent my local dollars on foreign company swill: SAB Miller (South africa) and InBev (Netherlands)??
GOT to be a conflict if you ‘think’ this thru, folks. Sending money offshore for MEGABEERCO swill ‘pushed’ by MEGAASCOs v the opportunity to drink local, fresh, world class craft beers, and…
i ‘THINK’ that’s a problem.
