I find this bizarre. I mean seriously, why, Sam Adams, are you doing this. Ugh.

I like Samuel Adams and am a fan of many of their offerings, but I can guarantee you this particular beer will never see the inside of my fridge or my gullet.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg had a beer named after her

Raise a glass to RBG with the beer dedicated to her.

Samuel Adams is naming a new Belgian Brut IPA in honor of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It's part of the company's annual contribution to the Pink Boots Society, a nonprofit for women in the brewing industry, according to the Boston Globe. The collab was inspired by International Women's Day, which was earlier this month.

The new brew is named after Ginsburg's iconic response to the question, "When will there be enough women on the Supreme Court?"

You can grab a pint of 'When There Are Nine' at the on March 29.

"When there are nine," the Justice quipped, an answer that inspired countless pins, t-shirts, posters, and now, a beer.

According to Samuel Adams' event page for the "When There Are Nine" launch, the company wanted to "name it Brut Bader Ginsburg," but their legal team "dissented."

The Samuel Adams taproom in Boston is launching "When There Are Nine" on March 29 with a plank contest, a nod to the 86-year-old Justice's rigorous workout routines. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Pink Boots Society and the ACLU's Women's Rights Project.

It'll be an opportunity to chug in the name of equality. (Barf )

If they didn't brew it with prune juice, then it isn't authentic.

I'd try some and not GAF

Generally, beer is considered past its prime when it tastes old, stale and musty.

Hopefully they used formaldehyde to brew it.

Well enjoy it. The last thing I want to do though when drinking a beer is think about her or be forced to think about politics.

Merely a marketing campaign aimed at the mindless "hipster/millennial" crowd that has helped create the craft beer micro brewery fad. They are simply trying to get back part of the market share they have lost out on recently.

I'm not a fan of beer so no love lost from me, but I'd expect more of it in the future since the beer industry as a whole is going a different direction.

Witches brew! If you want a brut IPA I'd go with Sierra Nevada.

But if someone brewed some foul swill and called it "Nino Scalia's Favorite," you'd drink it?

I don't care what they call it. Is it any good?

Must be bitter with a long aftertaste.

Think that's Balze's point. No need to bring politics into something like beer, unless you are courting the dolt's that fall for cheap marketing. It could be the best stuff ever and I'll never try it....wanna know why? I am not their target audience. Just another reason to hate everything about the left. Every chance they get, they try to jab a thumb in the right's eye. Instead of something more neutral, they went with a polarizing political figure just because. It was on purpose with a specific intent. Let's see if it works out like they hoped.

That style is hideous IMO so I think it’s appropriate.

Instead of beer aren't liberals more closely associated with whine?

I totally agree!

I thought you meant THE Samuel Adams had maned a beer after her, like when they were younger!

Well I used to like Sam Adams, no more for me

Well...IPA is pretty bitter and nasty...the similarities are there so it does make sense.

Honestly, who cares?

Sam Adams sells beer, and is doing a charity with Womens Day. So what.

Chic-Fil-A apparently hates gays or whatever.

Benchmade doesn't support the second amendment. Yee-frickin-haw.

Can we all just not buy the things we don't want to buy without making a big deal out of it?

Dick's are dicks, Levi-Straus are also dicks, and so on and on and on. If you pay attention to every company and product you buy, you might find you can't buy any products, if you continually connect them with politics.

I'd say that companies making donations to anti-2A causes is something to note, but seriously it doesn't matter at all that Sam Adams named a beer after a Supreme Court Justice. Let's all be selective about the things we bother paying attention to, or even being remotely perturbed about. Much less, upset.

I'm not so sure they would be in favor of nine female supreme court justices if they didn't toe the liberal line.

I'll never understand businesses who think it's a good idea to alienate consumers by sticking their nose in politics.
