They should have at least kept the Dixie Beer brand and released it seasonally.

Tom Benson wouldn't have changed the name.

Gold Digger Gail changed the name. West Bank ain't the best bank....

I mean, tons of us knew this would the ending when she changed the name. It pisses me off that people with money to start businesses like that could be so fricking stupid.

Once she dropped the Dixie Beer name, I stopped buying their product. Go woke, go broke!

Should have kept the name Dixie, moved to the North Shore, and actually made an effort to make a good beer.
maybe some one will scoop up all the brewery gear on the cheap at the auction and do just that

You buy a company whose literal only value is the name of the brand and think you could be successful by changing the name.


its the same logic she uses with the saints, she wants it to just entertain folks rather than be a winning franchise and compete for a SB

Back in the early 80's Dixie beer was king. Most of the alcoholics I drank with drank Dixie. Once they stopped using the river water to brew it, they all started swapping over to Budweiser. They said it didn't taste the same. I couldn't tell you cause that shite was nasty before they stopped using river water.
