Heineken goes full retard

[holdover]

WHITE PLAINS, NY—Acknowledging the insensitivity of its recent “Lighter Is Better” TV campaign and promising to do better in the future, beer manufacturer Heineken apologized for airing a racist ad Thursday by launching a limited-release “Blacks Only” beer. “We at Heineken want to reach out and apologize to our African-American customers by introducing a special-edition line of ‘Blacks Only’ low-calorie lagers,” said Heineken spokesperson Cara Jarvis, who divulged that the new beer will be available at clearly labeled “Blacks Only” taps and store displays conveniently placed separately from, but priced equally to, its other available beers.

In all seriousness though, Heineken Dark is delicious.

Here is the alarming part, in this climate of white-hating, this story was almost believable.

Probably the only beer where the light version is better

Those green bottles promote that skunk smell in beer. I use to know some old timers back in the day that liked it that way, they drank Ballantine ale in the green bottle, damn near guaranteed to have a dead skunk in every bottle.

The musky aroma has one cause: a chemical reaction that occurs when ultraviolet light interacts with the bitter hop compounds in a brew. A skunky beer is called "lightstruck" by chemists and beer nerds, and this is why you'll often find odoriferous brews in clear or green bottles.

Seen the commercial many times and it doesn’t look racist. Guy sees woman reaching for higher carb drink he slides over a light drink. Just happens to be passing people of color. Idk ppl take things too serious these days

The night is beautiful and the day is racist.
Lets stop the daylight!!!

[meketrefe]

It looks like Heineken is well received in some pretty diverse communities.

Chocolate cultural appropriation?
