Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
Have no fear, Queer Beer is here!
A trio of Swiss businessmen have launched a new drink for gay people called Queer Beer. Michael Hutmacher, 32, came up with the idea with two friends and has now founded a company, Lemonhead, to market it.
Here's a niche that needed to be filled, because as best as Google and I can figure, the makers of Q Brew, San Francisco's Queer Brewing Company, are no more. On the other hand, the Jesus-hates-you crowd apparently believes that Anheuser-Busch is the official maker of gay beers. Sounds silly to me, but Bud does look kinda cute in that leather get-up at their site.
TrackBackIt always has stuck me as odd that the uber-right crowd (from my personal experience, things like the Southern Baptist Coalition--i mean, Convention and James Dobson) will preach about the evils of alcohol and advocate families being completely dry while so many of the godly church-going crowd has no hesitation to swig back something like Bud Light on a Saturday afternoon(*gag*).

Wherever you find four Baptists, you're bound to find a "fifth."
Haw haw!

A: Methodists will wave to each other in the liquor store.
Posted by: John Johnson at February 1, 2005 01:02 PMMy brother in law of "Miller," no doubt, planted the rumor that Anheuser-Busch was involved. And furthermore, where does one put a "quotation mark," if for example, a comma is "involved."

Posted by: Robust McManlyPants at February 1, 2005 04:46 PMIsn't "Lemonhead" already a brand of candy by the Ferrara Pan Co. in Chicago?
