A few beer-related questions have been asked in various comment threads about the place so I thought I’d open up a comment thread specifically devoted to beer-cahol.

It all started here:

Marketing info says that Coopers Pale Ale is very popular with progressive lesbians, but Coopers gives all its political donations to the Liberal party.

So if I like Coopers Pale Ale, am I a progressive-conservative lesbian?
– Bruce

I like Coopers and I knew I was progressive but am a little surprised to learn that I’m a lesbian.
– The Editor

I’m likely to order any of a dozen different drinks depending on my mood, so I must be a schizophrenic swinging voter.
– Bridgit Gread

And continued here:

Now, I’m very disappointed to learn that Cooper’s gives political donations to the Liberal party, I may have to seriously reconsider my tastes. But did you know that Cooper’s is the only commercially-available beer in Australia that’s vegetarian-friendly? The rest use gelatine derived from beef skin for filtering.

Does anyone know the political donations of breweries such as Little Creatures, or Matilda Bay? I can’t go back to the bland, empty-tasting crap that CUB or Lion Nathan urinates into the market (apart from Squire, which I understand is Lion Nathan).
– Jangari

So now that the conversation’s all in one place go for it!
