Dark Horse Brewery says No to Nickleback

Basically, the Huffington Post reports (06/27/2012) that according to Dark Horse Brewing Co. they were approached by a Nickelback producer who pitched them on a music video idea that would feature a Dark Horse beer delivery truck at a frat party with kids holding their beer. Dark Horse said "no thanks."

Read the full-story from the Huffington Post.

The quotes from Aaron Morse at Dark Horse are classic.

"It's obvious that this would be a great opportunity for us and maybe get some mainstream youth into craft beer rather than the swill. However, none of us at the brewery really care for the band (or frat parties) so our knee jerk reaction is 'no thanks'. But how cool would it be to see our beer in a video?"

"Why cant it be some cool band like Slayer? The guy that called said the lead singer is familiar with our brand. What does that mean? Does the lead singer of Nickleback drink craft beer?"

"I absolutely hate that band," ... "It's s--- rock and roll that doesn't deserve to be on the radio."

"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Having lived in Alberta for a number of years, where the local media outlets alert you every time one a member of NB so much as takes a shit, I think I've earned the right to badmouth those no talent fuckers. :lol:
