"Pennsylvania brewery honoring Joe Paterno with special beer"
The Duquesne Brewing Company said Monday it's rolling out a brew honoring the late Penn State football coach. The Vienna-style lager, which will be available in mid-August, will come in 12-ounce cans featuring Paterno's image and accomplishments. The brewery says it's working with Paterno's family on the beer. A portion of the proceeds will go to charities the family supports.Not sure what the brewery is thinking here. I guess they are playing to their customer base and the idea "all publicity is good publicity."
Makes sense. You have to be drunk all the time, in order to think he did no wrong.

I don't think I could get drunk enough to completely eliminate any shred of moral integrity like that. I wish I could wander around with my fingers in my ears saying things like "The Freeh Report was biased! The truth lies somewhere in the middle!" but I have a brain and a conscience.
Because you're at least relatively responsible human being with at minimum an iota of moral standard in your body.
See No Evil Stout should be a big seller.
Should call it JoePa's 3 Monkeys Beer
How about Joe Pa's Amber Alert Ale?
You just might win the Internet today.
Gotta make up for getting bombed in the Langford thread.
Hopscotch IPA?
I'll see myself to the door. This is how I lost 10,000 MGoPoints a few years ago. I clearly do not learn.
Only humor I find out of this is that Sandusky makes his alcohol out of a trash bag, fermenting in a toilet.
Is it weird that I'm actually more upset at those involved in the cover up than I am about Sandusky?
The reason being, his behavior was compulsive. One doesn't choose to be a child predator. That being said, he chose to act on his compulsion and the world is a MUCH better place without him. I'm not excusing his terrible actions, but I don't think serial molesters have much control over their actions. As a parent of two young children, it makes me sick to think those people are out there.
The main thing as a parent is to be untrusting of basically everyone. My wife and I have 3-4 other families that we are really really close to, and I won't allow the husbands to watch our kids alone unless it is an emergency. I don't distrust any of them, but people like Sandusky can blend in anywhere. Now.. I have never told these guys about this policy, but my wife knows about it. She thinks I'm way too careful, but she doesn't fight it.
What REALLY pisses me off are the people involved who had no cross wired circuits in their brains. Those are the people who actively chose to allow kids to be hurt. People like Sandusky are monsters. But monsters don't choose to be monsters. That is what they are. People like Paterno aren't monsters. They're vile piece-of-shit humans. They choose to be that way. I'm just bummed out that Paterno had to go and die instead of facing the full set of repercussions of his inaction.
You know females can be child molesters too right?
Until reading this post, I was also one of those people more outraged at Sandusky. But after reading your post, you made me think of it in a different way. You're completely right.
I think they've been brewing this since 'bout 2000.
those are chimpanzees. Just sayin'.
Yeah, this will be a hit. Why don't they just name it after Jerry Sandusky? Huh? What?
You gotta feel a little bad for the people of Sandusky, OH. Their town's name is forever marred by ol' Jerry. At least they'll always have Cedar Point, and an unfortunately-named beer.
Also - anyone else tired of the pale ale/IPA/extremely hoppy and bitter beer trend these days? Give me a good amber or brown ale any day.
If you drink any you have to intentionally look the other way.
They are also developing a beer for Penn State fans called "Sycophant IPA"
He knew what was going on. Anyone watch the documentary on Netflix, I think it was called Happy Valley? Good show, he ruined himself and his legacy by not taking more action.

It's discouraging that Penn State fans don't get it; what-so-ever. Comforting, however, that the rest of the country see's they have no clothes, so to speak.
I just watched it, very good. Fuckin delusional fans. Their "God" JoePa clearly turned a blind eye in more then one occasion. He cared more about his wins then the protection of children. Fuck that asshole.

This won't end well...
Think of the jokes and idiots like Dawkins who are trying to defend JoePa. We need to see where this goes
Blind Eye P.A.
First Ballot Comment Hall of Fame? I think so.
Joe Paterno beer - "Where we do the absolute minimum to legally be called a vienna-style lager"
JoePa-Turn A Blind Eye P.A.
At its roots, this is mostly about Jay Paterno looking for any and all ways to make money "pimping out" his father's name.
If this succeeds in making a few $, "JoePA tortilla chips" and "JoePa energy drinks" are next.
Hey, in terms of making $$$, doing this beats going and getting a real job (like an assistant at an FCS school, something Jay would be qualified for --- he's not a great football coach but he's not completely terrible either).
But Jay has never once shown the ability to make $ on his own, instead of riding his Dad's coattails.
This makes sense. Its not like things can get worst for JoePa and his family so might as well make some money off the home crowd.
I can't imaging that he ever gets a coaching job again.
This FUCKING family, and the DELUSIONAL fans who support them, are just disgusting and a true waste of carbon atoms.
Only psu fans can make bucknut and sparty fans look rational and well-blanced.
I have long maintained that Penn State is our 4th rival, and they may even push Notre Dame for third in the "teams I enjoy beating most" rankings - and it is all because of their asshat fans.
From the outside Penn State seems to be a pretty Michigan-like Blue Blood of college football. A historic, midwestern program with a huge fanbase and a wealth of all-time CFB greats. Their fans though, are god awful. They are idiotically defensive of their program and obnoxious. That incessant mountain lion scream at their stadium would cause any Michigan fan complaining about RAWK music to count their blessings. The ediface of Beaver Stadium looks like someone glued everything at a scrapyard together. They really do give bucknuts and lansing trailer trash runs for their money (or lack there of).
Has a really good brew as well.
Penn State fans are literally delusional. M fans may be arrogant, but at least we have been humble the last several seasons. PSU...nope. WE SAY JOE PA YOU SAY TERNO. Idiots...all of them.
With this on the bottle.
Joe Pedo-rno?
That's the Sexual Assault Panda mascot, right?
That's Pedo Bear.
Sexual assualt panda is a good guy (sort of). Pedo Bear ... isn't.
Wait, did someone actually make a sexual assault panda mascot or do you mean Sexual Harrassment Panda/Don't Sue People Panda from South Park?
But I took Sexual Harrasment Panda to be the South Park character. So that's what I was referencing (and who I think the poster I was replying to was referencing).
Your question gives me an idea, though. Someone should suggest to Dave Brandon that he replace Geoffrey the Giraffe with Sexual Harrassment Panda - since we know from Brandon that the way to fix a broken automobile is to change the hood ornament.
That's the Sexual Assault Panda mascot, right?
Well alcohol does tend to provide a means for some people to absolve themselves from responsibility or accountability after imbibing, so I guess it's a fitting tribute for ol' Joe.
I was looking forward to some good New Jersey/East Coast visit news this morning. Langford and this. Argh.
A portion of the proceeds will go to charities the family supports.
Uh huh, that worked out so well before.
And no doubt with these scum charity begins in the home.
I am sure on the the "charities" is a joepa foundation to help make bigger statues of said pedophile enabler.
Who would have thought Paterno would become a sad punchline to an untold joke, even a cautionary tale. He was an old man already then. Shows how much we must guard our reputations.
I think guarding reputations was maybe too important to Paterno.
We're meant to convey that we should not allow ourselves to be surrounded by evildoers. Not that we should try to keep the truth from coming to light. I did not state that very clearly.
