Will the march of political correctness never end? They’re going to make us drink plant-based beer now?!
Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer has joined a flood of social media users gleefully trolling Larry Kudlow after the former economic adviser to Donald Trump complained that Joe Biden wanted Americans to drink “plant-based beer”.
Kudlow made the indignant claim on his Fox Business show on Friday, saying Biden’s climate policies and attempt to slash emissions would force Americans to “stop eating meat, stop eating poultry and fish, seafood, eggs, dairy and animal-based fats”.
“OK, got that? No burgers on 4 July. No steaks on the barbecue … So get ready. You can throw back a plant-based beer with your grilled Brussels sprouts and wave your American flag.”
Which is best – steak-based beer, ham-based beer, or cheeseburger-based beer?

We’ll show them. If they try to force plant-based beer on us, we’ll switch to wine!
Maybe he’s talking about the yeast? It’s not a plant. Although I have no idea what that has to do with climate policy.
That sounds delicious.
Maybe he’s referring to the fact that not all beer is vegan. That is, if he knew that fact, which I doubt. (I just learned it; thank you, Professor Google!).
Well, one byproduct of the alcohol-making process is carbon dioxide. Of course, that’s true of plant-based alcohol, as well as any animal-based booze.
Perhaps we should all switch to fermented mare’s milk.
@3, +1, I dig Brussells sprouts. They go well with plant based wine. ;)
Maybe they were talking about milk stout or some other dairy additive in beer, or sometimes the filter media is animal bone char. Other than that most beers are veggie based.
@4, Good find, I had no idea British beer used those ingredients, but I don’t drink it anyway because it’s gross. :P
On the plus side, Schumer is no doubt being besieged with invitations to tour a lot of beer factories. Come to Milwaukee, make a trip of it, bring the family, eat at Mader’s.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to invite Kudlow?
Beer is one of the things I use as a representative of things we get from the plant kingdom; my students weren’t aware it was made from plants, but that’s not surprising, since there seems to be a lot of things they don’t know what they’re made of. They had no idea mustard and ketchup are plant based, either.
Just another way in which the GOP dumbs down to the least common denominator. Very few people have to worry about feeling dumb around these guys.
Really looking forward to the revival of the “War on Christmas” stories this year. Conservative media had to take a four-year sabbatical from that old reliable standby, because it would undermine Trump’s claim that he had single-handedly ensured that “people are saying Merry Christmas again.” But this year, it is going to be ON! “Woke corporation CANCELS Christmas!!! This is Joe Biden’s America!”
Screechy Monkey, rumour has it that the R&D Dept. (War on Christmas Division) are developing a plant-based Christmas Tree. Damned Commies!
What?
Abandoning the long standing tradition of aluminum Christmas Trees?!!?
Even a natural Christmas tree is usually metal-based. Keeps them upright more securely, you know.
@iknklast #8:
No! If Schumer goes then Kudlow will be even more humiliated!
No. I messed up.
Personally, I prefer the meat-based fur trees.
I guess this will be illegal under the Biden regime?

Another Random Commenter,
It certainly ought to be. Bacon-flavored everything is probably even worse than pumpkin-spice flavored everything. I mean, at least the latter is confined to a few months in the fall.
Having had smoked nutria head flavored beer (homebrewers, right?) I can’t imagine it’d be worse…
