I like the idea. As a straight guy who drinks vodka and soda/tonic I get told my drink is gay from time to time. Now nobody will feel the need to inform me since it’s printed right on the can.
They’ll still point it out to you.
My husband gets told there are pronouns on his badge all the time, as if he didn’t know they were there.
This comment made me laugh out aloud at home.
How is the mascot not a gay frog?
Well everyone, time to go fetch a frog and test something
Fair play to them, as a real ale drinking Brit, I wouldn’t touch this or bud light with a bargepole, but if it a corp outwardly supporting LGBT rights then I hope it does well.
Your ales taste great but I can’t get used to the low carbonation.
The low carbonation is what I love about them, I do like some lagers but drinking them all day is too much gas, lol.
Of the stuff I had on draft in the UK, Fuller’s was by far my favorite; what we get with that name in the US is presumably a forgery.
But I also share the Yank problem of not liking the hand-pump level of fermentation. I’ve tried it a bunch, just not for me.
I don’t drink much lager, usually either Belgians or IPAs :)
Grift water
The official beverage of getting drunk and trying stuff
Removed by mod
I don’t even like to drink this kind of stuff but I’ll buy it now and again to support the brand. Still better than bud light I am sure.
Yeah, I kind of hate that somehow refusing to buy shitty dishwater beer is now a conservative political statement.
The"statement"is a dumb as they are
I’d rather drink goat piss than bud right.
I’d drink fermented beaver piss over bud light. At least that tang will take you places. No where good but it will take you.
Most things are better than Bud Light.
Schmooze booze.
I’m fine with marketing to gay people, but this feels like pandering.
All marketing is pandering. This company just saw a huge niche that hadn’t yet been filled and jumped in. You’re not wrong that it’s somewhat exploitative, but all products are to some extent.
At first I read it as “Gray Water” and thought it was a terrible idea.
Pro tip: always have at least two on hand. That way you drink one to turn gay and then you can drink another to become gay gay. It then cancels out to straight again.
I thought the antidote to gay drinks would be flavorless torture protein shit like Soylent or whatever
I’m sure gay people hate terrible tasting protein rich liquids…
A mildlyinteresting community but you can post with links? I love Lemmy
Honestly I’m just glad to hear people recognizing that Anheuser-Busch isn’t a trans icon or even queer friendly.

It’s rainbow capitalism, sure, but if someone is going to make money selling rainbow cans with alcohol in them, at least this is outside of pride month and owned by an actual gay person. It’s more genuine than rainbow cans of bud light, at least.
And the more successful Gay Water is, the more this can be an easy response to that dumbass “go woke go broke” shit.
Bi people like me, on the other hand, need constant validation. Where’s my bi water???
Dr Pepper.
If bi = 2, then maybe bi water is just 2 waters. Although some might worry that bi people will become too powerful with all that hydration.
It mostly seems like a novelty, who is the target customers?
I guess:
- Given as a joke gift
- Gay people drink it jokingly?
- Right wingers buy it as proof that the world is woke
It could be fun if this ends up being a big brand name.
