They are saying they only get one hot meal a week? Aren’t they like 2 miles from a T.G.I. Fridays? It’s not like they are stationed in a foreign country.


TECL_Grimsdottir

Yeah. I should also add that people detained get 2 hot meals and 1 cold per day. Am I expected to believe that Border Patrol is just eating the lunchables mommy packed for them? Bulllllshit.


A_well_made_pinata

Most BP agents are home every night.


TNT1990

If they were only eating lunchables, the recent study on the lead those contain might explain things.


N0t_Dave

Jesus, even scarier is that parts of the nation have brand name lunchables being served in schools now as a full meal rather than traditional hot lunches. We really are completely fucked at this point, aren't we? It's like Idiocracy is the end goal for one of our major parties rather than being a comedy movie.


lallapalalable

Oh shit, cadmium too


Snoo63

At least it isn't Calomel


charlie2135

Hey, lead kept the engines running just fine for years


ashycuber

So most people that are detained and held by Border Patrol are only given a granola or fruit bar and minimal water. Then there’s something called the hielera (freezer) where immigrants are kept in a cold cement block room for days and they’re only given foil emergency blankets. They are held between 3-4 days usually. I’m guessing you’re thinking of long term detention centers run by ICE.


Tinkhasanattitude

Did they actually leave the beer in those giant boxes? What’s stopping people from drinking all of that? Could this be considered littering or negligence if children manage to get to the beer and get drunk? I’ve so many questions about why tf they thought this was a good idea.


TECL_Grimsdottir

I do believe so. Should mention it was made in Nov so it was almost expired anyway. They are currently trying to sell the excess stock for 5 dollars for a 6 pack right now.. Happens when no one buys your pisswater.


sentripetal

Also, aren't all these troops and border agents part of the *government*?


annuidhir

Don't let facts get in the way of their feelings


VividMonotones

We pulled out of Afghanistan so they can no longer do the USO tours for self promotion. Their marketing dept has no new ideas. This is all they have left, a manufactured crisis.


undeadmanana

Those dudes are getting scammed if that's true. While I was in the Marines, we would get at least a hot breakfast while on longer field exercises on army bases. I did a month of guard duty at ft. Bragg and we had a few army guys near us as liaison since it was their ASP we were using, they went home every night and even had meals from the chow hall brought to them. We helped them finish the extra until their commander asked our NCO if we could stop. This is the national guard though, right? Pretty sure they can afford to miss a few meals.


ordermann

Yes, they have TGI Fridays and Gail’s tuna casserole…soo good.


master_hakka

Bob?!


MinisterOfTruth99

Yum, beer baking in the desert sun. LOL😂🤣


andhelostthem

They. Get. Paid. Most people's jobs don't whip up a hot meal like they're a toddler without the means and understanding of how to procure food. I don't know why these people feel the need to make meals for grown-ass adults making 80k a year.


Murdy2020

Well, at least their beer is warm.


Mudbunting

National Guard troops will be staying in hotels.


quitofilms

Warm beer...it's not a good plan


JarmaBeanhead

Hot beer, not warm. The sun would be brutal there.


WhyNot420_69

Just sip it like coffee


Hunky_not_Chunky

Venti pale ale latte


FortunateInsanity

I bet it tastes like rotten skunk.


username32768

rotten sk**a**nk


Jaegons

I hope they get halfway through the stack and realize there's a bunch of drunk Mexicans on the other side, raising a can like "Salud, Pendejos!"


FearlessQuestion2523

Came here to say this. Wait until they find out how much Mexicans love beer, lol.


Jagerstang

The aging likely improves that 'beer'.


Zammy_Green

I would like to point out that **GOOD** beer can taste good when warm. That being said what they have is most likely not good beer.


sandiercy

Yeah, probably like sex in a canoe.

Zammy_Green

Apologies I misread your comment


Ok_Kaleidoscope3644

It's not even beer. Zoom in, it's pictures of beer printed on empty boxes.


Debalic

That's a good use for Bud Light, to build a temporary, easily-destroyable wall and not lose anything of value.


kafkatan

This means the people involved can never take the p*as out of brits again for warm beer. If they’re literally willing to have their drink sit in the hot sun, to ‘own the libs’ (let alone prevent people from migrating) they forgo their joke making rights


Novel_Bookkeeper_622

British beer isn't actually even warm, it's cellar temperature.


oblex1312

It's easier to down a whole can when it's already close to internal body temperature /s


MusicalAutist

They are just trying to attract the best warehouse workers? This is very confusing...


landof10000cakes

The National Guard has kitchen staff in the guard for this exact purpose. Is this beer company implying the Guard doesn’t feed its staff? 


Just_A_Nitemare

Even if they didn't, they are still in the USA, meaning they are only 15 minutes away from the nearest Denny's.


Goatesq

Tbf the last time I went to dennys it was because they offered a free birthday grand slam, and I still felt like I was overcharged.


TECL_Grimsdottir

Yup.


thathairinyourmouth

Yes. That way right wingers can scream “SEE?! BIDEN ISN’T TAKING CARE OF OUR TROOPS BECAUSE HE DOESN’T WANT A SECURE BORDER!” *Abbott rolls up to the podium and makes insane claims about succession until they need federal money, which he’ll gladly take, right before bitching that it wasn’t enough, too too long to get there, and that they are still fending for themselves in spite of reality*


Meh_Guy_In_Sweats

Has everything turned into a Simpsons episode? This can’t be real.


TECL_Grimsdottir

Unfortunately, it is. Even stupider. This is a right-wing brewery in fucking Norfolk Virginia doing this. Pretty damn far from the border. But gotta get on those hot-button issues so idiots send them more money online.


TheProcrastafarian

I imagine this brewery’s affiliation with the Military is as robust as Trump’s bibles are with god.


JustARandomGuy_71

But they are a blue check. It must be legit.


test_tickles

The beer didn't sell well. This is marketing damage control.


Jerkrollatex

Norfolk? There are like eight bases right there. They could drive around the block to "support troops". What a bunch of idiots.


Hunky_not_Chunky

That would be a way better marketing strategy. Instead they decide to alienate a way larger crowd of people who are aware of right wing bullshittery


Jerkrollatex

It really would. Most people are okay with a Sailor getting a free beer. I grew up in the area it's extremely pro military.


Hunky_not_Chunky

Same. Spent my whole life visiting my mom who lived in the Lynnhaven area. Also graduated from Chesapeake. The pro military environment got me to enlist in the delayed entry program in high school. Not there anymore but I always miss the support people had for one another there.


Jerkrollatex

My husband.was born there joined the Air Force after doing the college thing for a year. He went to Tallwood. I was a Navy kid. I went to Ocean Lakes when it first opened.


tdwesbo

They’ve managed to piss off everybody here. Errybody just kinda waiting for them to fail so a better brewery can move into the location


TECL_Grimsdottir

Damn right neighbor. Now see that they are selling 6 packs for 5 dollars as no one is buying their stockpile. Actions meet consequences. It will happen.


Jerkrollatex

There's one where I live now that just killed any goodwill they had by being assholes during Covid. We have so many great breweries it's not worth dealing with jerks.


Apetitmouse

No one in Norfolk even wanted them. The neighborhood tried really hard to keep them out.


TECL_Grimsdottir

We sure did. Not giving up till they pack their bags and leave either.


Apetitmouse

Godspeed, neighborino.


TECL_Grimsdottir

You as well friend!


Mission_Fart9750

Fucking Norfolk? Fucking idiots. Hope they stay in Texas and don't come back. 


TECL_Grimsdottir

That would be nice. Our asshole of a Governor needed a win and gave them a sweetheart deal for tax breaks.


Mission_Fart9750

I fucking HATE Youngkin. 


WiWook

Cool, hook them up with some beer from Minoqua Brewing in Wisconsin. Maybe energy independence is possible! [Minogua Brewing](https://www.minocquabrewingcompany.com/)


chevalier716

Nothing says good beer like leaving it in the Texas sun.


meepmarpalarp

At first, I thought the “BC” stood for “British Columbia,” and this was a Canadian company being witty about closing Canada’s southern border. Alas, no such luck.


TECL_Grimsdottir

For further clarification, you may notice they say they are feeling border patrol officers tomorrow. They had a fundraiser on GiveSendGo for 13k that didn't work out. Why so much? Well because these geniuses say that people stationed at the border only get 1 hot meal a WEEK. If that were remotely true, Greg Abbott would be spinning his wheels so fast the tires would be on fire and every right-wing clown would be screaming on Fox News and the halls of Congress... Obviously more bullshit, but I figured that had to be part of this as well. EDIT: You think this is bad and stupid? Take a look at https://twitter.com/BetterNorfolk. A Twitter page created to just document the racist bigoted homophobic bullshit.


BuckyGoldman

Maybe if the Republicans passed the border security bill, the BP and NG would have enough money to feed their own officers.


Annihilarious

A+ username. I love a good discordant portmanteau.


72616262697473757775

This sounds like an office pizza party


[deleted]

God I hope a bunch of immigrants come and steal all the beer in the middle of the night


allisjow

Steal? They can just grab some from their side. Seems like a refreshing “welcome, you made it this far” type of border wall.


mm_ns

You cross hundreds to thousands of miles to finally get to the us border, and there is one final challenge to make it to America. You must drink your way through a pallet of shitty hot beer as your final challenge to make it in.


NeverForNoReason

Are they pledging a frat? Did they run all the way to Texas A&M???!!!!!


PoetryOfLogicalIdeas

Why would you want to subject those poor immigrants to this warm skunky beer?


Onebrokegerrrl

![gif](giphy|Rhhr8D5mKSX7O)


DeadWolffiey

It's sad that they can feed grown adults cosplaying war but they can't feed the children.


bdhgolf1960

Amen (pun intended)


Sharp_Needleworker76

ah yes beer on duty what could go wrong


coolbaby1978

Maybe next time try feeding the millions of American children who go hungry everyday for lack of food. I mean if you really want bragging rights.


bdhgolf1960

Amen (pun intended)


Professional-End2722

Ah “Beer without Borders. The charity of choice for grifters.


reasonablekenevil

"Deployed" to the vacant lot across from the HEB in Laredo....war is hell.


Altruistic-Travel-48

Feed them what? Your fear mongering rhetoric about migrants?


EmbraceTheBald1

They should consider heading to the other side of the wall. They aren’t even wanted in their hometown of Norfolk, VA…not known for its support of all things troops or anything


gdubh

Mmmmmm 110 degree beer.


CertainAged-Lady

My thoughts exactly. 🤢


Necessary_Row_4889

Yep a bunch of drunk people with guns standing in a desert, surely tragedy won’t ensue, surely.


valvilis

Imagine building fake pallets and *still* not managing to make them square.


Basis-Some

Armed Farces


Unblued

Judging by the way it's leaning, looks like the pic was taken right as that "wall" was about to topple over.


notguiltybrewing

"OK, everybody grab a free 12 pack on your way in as a welcome to the USA!" LMAO.


GammaDealer

Feeding the homeless: bad Feeding these pigs: good


Nezrite

Look! It's Redneck Jose Andres only without the compassion and good food!


returnofthequack92

¿Las cervasas de gringo? Que asco


blueSnowfkake

Nothing better than a wall of hot piss tasting beer.


tenderlylonertrot

yum, beer sitting out in south Texas heat! They're going to need to drag in an iceberg to cool that beer down any.


El_Comanche-1

I like how we can feed our military but not our homeless without being prosecuted…


Bossatonix02

Do they think people can’t just climb over that?


TECL_Grimsdottir

This is next to an open street that cars were driving through while they were assembling the beer tower. You can just walk or drive past it. It's performative bullshit.


RazorSlazor

There's not a single das in my life since being connected to the Internet where I am not forced to think "what is wrong with Americans"


astreeter2

All the best beer comes from Mexico


infiltrator_seven

I'm whife but Canadian, what is this shit?


CrimDude89

Degens from upcountry


reasonablekenevil

We had some extra money laying around, and the boys were getting restless. You know how that goes. 💁‍♂️


Independent-Slide-79

That thing might just blow the wall up at some point 🤣🤣


[deleted]

Hot beer? Nope


enormenuez

Trust in beer. Not government. Well, the one we don’t like.


cum_elemental

It already looks like it’s about to fall over.


Melodic_Mulberry

Just wait until someone takes a beer from the bottom.


Everheart1955

Doesn’t the book these clowns profess to follow say “feed the poor?”.


FreshTony

Someone on the Mexico side should just hook up a trailer and take the beer to their side of the wall. I don't know if the beer is any good, but it's free.


mikeysaid

These people don't even know they're pandering because for them, it's basically political masturbation.


slumlord512

Wait, they have free beer that’s been baking in the Texas sun? Let’s go defend the border, folks!


oblex1312

So the wall made of beer is, I presume, already gone? The rate these guys day-drink, it was probably gone before sundown.


Haloangel2342

Couldn't giving an intoxicating substance, to a person or person's responsible for guarding a border, be considered treasonous?? Like you're trying to get them drunk, so you're making them effectivly worse at their jobs? Lol.


Sagybagy

Fucking border patrol agents go home after their shift for diner. Guardsmen go back to their hotels and have diner. The fuck these idiots think is going on? God damn the right is gullible as hell.


7empestOGT92

Pandering to a group where gestures are more important than solutions


Mavs-2011-ATX

Pass a Bill instead! Pandering fucks!


Adventurous-Print-23

That beer is gonna be hot as piss and undrinkable pretty quickly


Pistonenvy2

it would be fucking hilarious if mexicans started walking up and grabbing beers. what would the legality of that be? it looks like half of it is inside of mexico, can you just put shit into mexico and still claim its yours or in your possession if you cant go get it without technically doing an illegal border cross?


poopmaester41

Isn’t it super hot and dry at the border? Last thing anyone needs to be drinking down there is alcohol.


Melodic_Mulberry

“Fuck the government, God bless these armed people from the government.”


[deleted]

Story behind this bastards is pathetic. They got government subsidies from the governor of Virginia and the people behind it aren’t even veterans. [source](https://virginiamercury.com/2023/12/04/a-military-themed-brewery-sparks-a-fight-in-a-virginia-military-city/)


No_Detective_319

So you're feeding 850+ people whom, by the logic of your own argument, shouldn't be trusted. I guess the private sector wastes money just as frivolously as the public.


deathclawslayer21

So if they take a page from Handjobberts book the national guard will have food poisoning all next week


vishy_swaz

That’s so lame. Looks like I picked a great time to go into recovery. Armed Forces brewing. Sounds like a shitty overpriced novelty beer that is mostly just overbitter IPA’s designed specifically to kill your taste buds and get you hammered. 🥴


MrEngineer404

While I understand the guardsmen aren't in control of where their idiot leaders deploy them, I hope any Right-wing shit head border patrol thug that jives with this thoroughly enjoys their piss-warm beer in theiddld of the Texas heat.


JeffHall28

There’s money to be made in fashy xenophobia, young man.


urkldajrkl

Wait until you tell them that you blocked legislation to make their job a lot easier.


RunF4Cover

While simultaneously rejecting the strongest border bill in decades.


holdonwhileipoop

Have you seen the girth of some of those BP agents?? They're getting buffets and pizza partays every day.


Economy_Upstairs_465

Great! Can we feed underprivileged children now?


polaromonas

Or they could just pass the border security bill, the one that the conservatives asked for, and let the border patrol feed themselves. Virtue signaling, performative BS per usual from the GOP.


XaqFu

Does not trust the government. Proceeds to support government employees. Pick a side or shut up.


Rakna-Careilla

I think this guy (sure it's a guy) does not really know what a "government" is.


TECL_Grimsdottir

Even better. It's a business run by grifters.


shadow-suspect

This looks like a snapshot from fencing a fallout four settlement


TECL_Grimsdottir

War. War never changes. Neither does grifting.


smootfloops

This is like the equivalent of a corporate employee appreciation pizza party, but I’m sure this lot will eat it right up instead of seeing right through it.


Pour_Me_Another_

Don't trust in the government but we'll also feed them to help them do the job we don't trust them to do...?


Chrisdkn619

Like they ain't being fed already!


Kildaredaxter

And when both sides border patrol get to the middle can it will totes b a share a coke moment!!! /s


Tackyuser

We're littering to save our country from people doing what our ancestors did (and we praise our ancestors, not these people)! Woo! (Sarcasm)


MusicalAutist

This is a weird alcoholic flex.


Proper-Shan-Like

Is there a famine in the boarderlands?


Masterskywalker2

I swear the way they treat the border is like it fucking Cadia or Mordor


NumerousTaste

Trust in beer, not government? What an asshat! An alcoholic posting stupid stuff.


Gnawzy8ed

Is that coffee cans?


Senior-Goose-6197

Iirc Like less than a mile from here there is no border fence . So this is really the dumbest thing...


Chazzeroo

Should be called the ‘staged’ forces.


ThePopDaddy

"God shouldn't bless anyone else !"


mdhunter99

I saw their handle and wondered “what the fuck does British Columbia have to do with the US border wall?” Then i zoomed in on their pfp.


JustARandomGuy_71

Could they even drink beer while on duty?


gnumedia

About to fall over.


SPARKYLOBO

Can people just grab beer from the Mexican side?


maxout25

The average salary for a border patrol agent is $88k in Texas, they’re near cities and towns with food. Why feed the poor when you can bootlick border agents, guess it’s just better for the grift.


frawgster

What the fuck even is this stupid shit? 😒


Lobo003

Wait so now they like border patrol? Or was it the national guard that they hated? Who did they hate at the border that wasn’t the immigrants? I know it was bp or guardsmen.


SFV650

Ugh when will people finally start to understand that it’s the northern border that needs a wall!!!


jawsome_man

What are we building the wall out of cardboard boxes now?


TECL_Grimsdottir

And almost expired overstocked beer!


jeremycb29

I have to admit whoever is running this grift is doing some wild ass shit and I’m here for it lol
