    So first, let's put aside the "But it's Busch Light" cracks. For a dude (or dudette) to show a sign looking for beer money to actually receiving a bunch of it then donating to a children's hospital then getting their mug on a highly distributed and very available in pretty much all markets beer- is effing incredible! Imagine taking your first Tinder date to Kroger and saying, "Yea, that's me" :laughing: Props to him, AB and everyone else involved.

    Yup I read this story and snagged a case of Bush Light buckhunter cans this week. I respect he did the right thing and Bush doubled down on it.

    So no questions asked, he initially got hundreds of thousands of dollars just for beer? I'm glad he did the right thing and decided to donate it all. Unless that was the plan all along. People are so giving to useless things. I'm glad he corrected course on it.

    The original news story said he didn't really expect to get anything, but once the money reached several hundred dollars, he decided to donate it. So, while that was not his intent originally, he did decide to donate it before it reached even $1,000. Then, once his intent to donate the money was know, that is when the real money started rolling in. (At least, according to the news story.)

    Isn't Kroger a grocery store chain? People go on first dates ("Tinder" or otherwise) to grocery stores these days? Is the guy responsible for using his store discount card or is that seen as sexist? :grin:

    Who pushes the cart? Well, first date and all - they might use separate carts? Too soon for his banana to rub up against her muffin? (You know, so to speak).

    "Here, allow me to get the door for you." (Steps in front of electronic eye. Door opens. Steps aside and let date enter store first).

    This is really a fantastic story. Kudos to the kid, and kudos to AB - in this instance.

    Despite their business practices, which many may see as unethical (in particular in our little craft beer community), anecdotally they seem to have a pretty solid track record of community outreach and support. This is the sort of thing that local companies often do (putting someone on your label to honor them), but international companies rarely do.

    No losers here; just winners.



    I used to think that was just the funniest act of faux-chivalry. Granted, I never tried it on a date. :grinning:

    Unfuckingbelievable. DM Registier is despicable.

    Guy was sent thousands of dollars after making a Game Day sign asking for beer money. Rather than keep it, he decided to use it to raise even MORE money to donate to a children's hospital. Now journos are trying to ruin him over tweets he wrote at 16.

    Turns out the writer of the hit piece, Aaron Calvin, has his own racist and homophobic past tweets. https://heavy.com/news/2019/09/aaron-calvin/

    You've made your bed, now lie it it.

    Impressive feat. I've never been able to get my face on cans and busch at the same time.

    I was going to post this earlier this week.

    This story took a weird turn. Not surprising, this day and age, I guess.

    I'm just glad there's no formal record of everything stupid I said as a teenager :rolling_eyes:

    Everyone in Iowa knows how terrible of a paper the Register is. It's become a little bit of a "kill the messenger" phenomenon with them, but it seems like some bad things are happening to this man, and the children's hospital because of their "reporting."

    What's the point on digging back 8 years or longer on someones social media? Are they purposely looking to discredit someone? Great story and all but that's shitty. Dude was just trying to do some good in the world.

    It's very odd and there almost needs to be a law banning minors from using social media or holding the social media companies responsible for deleting all content from when the user was a minor once the user become of age. We can expunge a record for minors who commit atrocious crimes when they turn 18, but social media isn't held to the same standard.
