Well, 400 more than Bush created...

Helping the economy AND making beer? I have a little more respect for Mr Rock now.

Will it be an already successful, name-brand beer just repackaged in a Kid Rock can?

Point and laugh all you will....

It's stuff like this that will end the recession/depression/end of the world. You know, ACTUAL job creation, as opposed to throwing a bunch of fairy dust around, like the repubs did at the end of last year, and the dems are doing now.

Unfortunately, it'll be the worst elements of all the beers that you could marginally tolerate, combined.

Why do I get the feeling this will taste like Budweiser and King Cobra combined?

It'll taste scraggly and remixed.

 
Manfred J. Hattan 2009-02-20 08:35:13 AM  
It'll be a perfectly good beer, but not good enough to constantly tell you how great it is, which is what it'll do every time you try to sip it.

YEEEAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Drinkin' Kid Rock beer up and down the coast.
Raise your glasses and give me a toast, baby.
Kid Rock beer does all the tricks.
And it's drank by chicks
in the porno flicks.
UGH!
Kid Rock beer and that's it's name
and there aint no beer that tastes the same.

great, I'll take 10 cases! Say what you want, but you have to give Rock credit on this one. Creating jobs and making beer. Nice.

It's really hard to market a new gimmick beer.

Remember Bootie Beer?

A small, targeted grant to a specific company with a defined product, measurable outcomes, and multiple benefits??

Brilliant!

I hate reading things like "Kid Rock's stimulus package" in the morning.

Now is the appropriate time for Drew to launch Fark Whiskey.

His beer will probably taste like what his music sounds like: absolute crap.

/400 jobs in Michigan is nice though.

Plus he'll piss in it, to give it the Kid Rock "style".

//New jobs or not, Kid Rock needs to go away

i trust that Michigan Brewing Company can make it not suck, they are a local brewery here and make some pretty decent beers.

 
FeedTheCollapse 2009-02-20 10:47:17 AM  
The Warrior song is farking terrible. Why on earth is Kid Rock still around?

 
mephyt [TotalFark] 2009-02-20 10:47:25 AM  
400 jobs in MI will help make up for the 800 lost this week, in Saginaw, due to another plant closing.

 
AmazingRuss 2009-02-20 10:51:20 AM  
Kid Rock jumped the shark when his midget died.

 
Big Beef Burrito 2009-02-20 11:29:48 AM  
It's just a lighter version of Tommy Lee's beer and it's called "Sloppy Seconds Herpeweizen"

 
Jamdug! 2009-02-20 12:15:02 PM  
Remember when everyone thought Kid Rock was that midget guy who died?

I lol'd, thanks.

I'm excited to see what sort of beer he comes out with. He may be obnoxious, but I think he's all right. It's nice to see him working on keeping Michigan awesome. Or at least employed.

400 new jobs and a million more alcoholics given enough time.

and a million more pickled livers and dead brain cells.

go kid rock!! laugh your way to the bank!

As a Kid Rock fan and a beer bottle collector, this would be cool. Might replace my current favorite bottle:
Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale www.eurobrews.com

 
CavemanCometh 2009-02-20 01:59:45 PM  
so, do they all line up and piss in a bottle then send it down a conveyor belt?

"So Dont Tell Me Who's Wrong And Right When Liberty Starts Slipping Away.

LOL! A but-but-but Busch. In the post preceding the second one, no less. In a thread about Kid Rock. I love Fark.

 
isawyou 2009-02-20 05:29:39 PM  
Will it really create jobs? Sure, it'll create jobs at this one brewery, but there will be an equal amount of some other beer that people aren't drinking. Those other breweries will all downsize just a little bit and there will be no net gain of jobs. Someone used to drink Natural Light, then switches to Kid Rock Beer, Natural brews less and jobs are lost in Milwaukee. And even if this brewery is capable of making some good beers, I don't think Kid Rock would endorse those.

I think you just figured out the secret recipe.

What's the pricepoint, Kid? Do you want them boys to work, or just have a job?

 
ewillyp 2009-02-21 01:03:22 PM  
meanwhile, gunit, JZ, FUBU, seanPdiddy ousource every piece of branding they create to foreign countries, take note A$$Høles, this is what "giving back to the community" is really about

Although I think he's the god of all that is white trash, he's actually a pretty good guy. He started a $25,000 scholarship at Wayne State for their music program. It wasn't even reported except in the student paper. He's also known to be pretty cool to fans and a normal guy.

He also replaced a whole high school golf team's equipment after it was stolen
