Red Cap

I'm a Blonde Ale brewed in Canada.

Category:
Value
Brewer:
Brick
Alcohol Content (ABV):
5.0%

Brewed to the original Carling Red Cap recipe, this true light tasting Canadian style ale has the same smooth sparkling taste that made this nostalgic brand so famous in the fifties and sixties.

back when we cared about that shit. Great way to shame them out of wearing those awful symbols of hate and stupidity.

Maybe we can suggest they wear jester hats instead, since they are now the laughingstocks of the planet?

It's a perfectly good ballcap, and has the Marine Corps logo emblazoned on the front of it.

But I choose not to wear it because it is solid red in color. I choose not to be mistaken for an idiot at any distance.

Maybe some day, I will be able to wear it, but I doubt it.

Republicans are trying to kill our children/us/families by denying us health care.

Calling them deplorables is being nice to traitor scum.

The Liberty Cap in France. The Phrygian cap (in French, bonnet Phrygian) is also known in French as the Liberty cap (bonnet de la Liberté) or as a red cap (bonnet rouge). It was adopted during the French Revolution. Liberty is sometimes shown wearing a Phrygian cap.

I don't think it's appropriate for those trumpsters who want to curb our freedom.
