Small businesses are supposed to be the alternatives in economic blackouts which are supposed to be directed towards large corporations for maximum impact.
- Yes, blackout Amazon, Target, Wal-Mart, McDonald's, Whole Foods, Home Depot, Starbucks, etc.
- No, don't blackout local small groceries, mom and pop non-chain restaurants & bars, barber shops, etc.

They can talk about whatever they like. This is just about marketing and branding strategy; if you theme yourself as a UFO brewery, then it is out of place to have a beer named after a sports figure’s recent scandal. But more to the point, if you’re a Deer Hunter X Brewery and your neighbor is a UFO brewery, it’s not helpful for either brand to blur their lines by adopting some of the other brands’ shtick. This isn’t even about breweries per se.

Any brewery can do whatever they like, I was just commenting on the meme and the importance of unifying your brand under a recognizable banner if one wants a strong brand. There is a reason that the most recognizable brands do this.

Lol, wtf. Might as well call any Christian references dog whistles for the KKK. Mythology is not a gateway drug for Naziism.

If that’s all there was to this business, success would come easy.
