Hey Cosmic Brewery, I hope to visit California in the next few years and visit a bunch of breweries. But yours won't be one of them, you juvenile twits! (If the reviews of your beers are accurate you'll be out of the brewing game by then anyway. Maybe you can survive as a strip club?)
Care to guess how Cosmic is responding to those who criticized this Facebook post? That's right, by blocking them! Because lessons are hard. Because if boys can't be boys then they won't remain sexist classless assholes for life.
Sexism in the craft beer industry is a bigly tremendous huge deal and something I'll undoubtedly be posting about here in the future. Because it's not just about photos like this. It's about the pack mentality that sets in against women when a crowd is strongly majority male; a very good friend had her rear end grabbed repeatedly in the stinky sweaty crowd at FoBAB in 2015.
Play it cool, boys. This ain't cool.
ETA: Annnnnnnndddddddd the post is gone from Facebook and Twitter. And it looks like they lost a sponsor, Celestron Telescopes. No sort of apology put forth as of yet. When they do get around to one, it'll probably be something like this:
