Nine Locks Dirty Blonde is not mysoginist

This protest is absolute nonsense. It seems we Canadians have gotten pretty silly. It’s beer advertising for Pete’s sake.

Toots Inglis (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

Because the fact that this is being brought up as an issue is completely ridiculous and petty. Everyone who loves and supports nine locks loves their branding most. Keep up the amazing work, guys.

I've been in the industry for nearly 20 years. This is by far the stupidest, misdirected complaint I've ever heard. Similar to enforcing a dress code on women, because of Male thoughts. The brewery doesnt need to change a thing.

You should never assume a beers gender

The beer name is fine. The marketing campaign is questionable.

The jerks that are making sexist misogynistic remarks toward female servers upon ordering a pint are just that. JERKS! Nine Locks should not have to change the name of he beer because of jerks in a bar.

Oh and if this one is considered "misogynistic" than why is Unfiltered allowed to get away with "Sour Motherf#cker" ?

Nine Locks is a great local beer company. Alleging that their beer named 'Dirty Blonde' is misogynistic is ridiculous and malicious, and may also have the side effect of de-valuing legitimate complaints of actual misogynistic activities.

This complaint is ridiculous. Any issue a person has had with being harassed is a patron problem that should have been dealt with by the owner or manager, don’t blame beer for arseholes.

Jamie Stewart (Lower Sackville , 2019-11-27)

This is ridiculous!!! The society we live n today of political correctness has taken away people’s common sense and sense of humour!! People are offended by everything these days and they just need to grow up!!

Connie Blanchard (Windsor, 2019-11-27)

#237

There is nothing wrong with their marketing or the name of the beer. People are just way to sensitive!!
Signed a dirty blonde from Dartmouth

It’s absolutely ridiculous

Melissa Gurtin (Halifax , 2019-11-27)

#241

Its ridiculous and we have more things to worry about in NS like our Health Care and Mental Health

Lisa Thompson (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

I'm a proud blonde bartender/server.
It's the patrons not the product!

Pascale MacKenzie (Dartmouth , 2019-11-27)

#247

People are too sensitive. Dirty Blonde is cheeky & cute. I worked as a server/bartender for 10 years & I have blonde hair & this would have never offended me.

Sasha LeMoine (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

#257

I’m signing because I feel this is competition fueling this and not a sexist message. I believe this advertising hurts or should not offend anyone.

John Hayden (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

#258

I'm signing because we need to show support for our local businesses. Just because someone is offensive doesn't mean it's a beer brand fault. No one should be treated poorly, but that's a patron issue, not a brewery issue

Heather Neill (Eastern Passage , 2019-11-27)

#261

Love the slogan, want to try the beer now!!

Molly Corkum (Fredericton, 2019-11-27)

#266

Because this is rediclious! People are offended by anything these days. Like get over it

Allison Chafe (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

#267

Im signing because its just highly unreasonable to rename a beer because one women with DYED BLONDE hair is complaining about comments. She should bring up things people say, to the people who say it.

Heather Horne (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

#268

Tired of hearing people getting offensive over stupid stuff. It's not the beer that's offensive, it's those *******s she's serving. As a bartender, I know you have the right to refuse service....
Just sayin'

Deborah D'Ambroise (Waverley, 2019-11-27)

#269

It's ridiculous to petition against the name of a beer in a market where in craft brewing circles, innovative names are the norm.

Good luck guys!

David Duggan (Nassau, 2019-11-27)

Not offended at all ! Great marketing

Kelly Major (Lower Sackville , 2019-11-27)

I have dirty blond hair. I do not feel the name is offensive.

Meaghan Whitehouse (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

#273

Because the company found a perfect marketing campaign . Just because you are offended, doesn’t mean you are right.

Jordan Oakey (DARTMOUTH , 2019-11-27)

I don’t find this marketing offensive. I am a dirty blonde and enjoy cheeky marketing. I own the shirt!

Lynne Thomas (Dartmouth , 2019-11-27)

I disagree that the name Dirty Blonde is offensive .

Jessica Rondelet (Eastern passage , 2019-11-27)

#286

This has gone too far, and sounds like some jealousy within the craft beer industry.

Steph Jack (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

#289

I think its an awesome name for a beer. People shiuld be less sensitive.

Darren Carr (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

#290

I strongly disagree with the position presented to the Craft Brewers Association and agree that the intent of the recent petition is nothing more than a malicious attempt to reduce Nine Locks market share and negatively affect the brand value. Shameless behaviour that needs to be called out!

Debbie Bowser (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

#291

It’s all getting a little crazy. No ill intent was intended to offend.

Janice Kivimaki (West Porters Lake, 2019-11-27)

It is a great campaign and shouldn’t offend anyone.

Stephen Priest (Halifax , 2019-11-27)

#304

There is absolutely nothing offensive about the name for the beer. I’m a dirty blonde, I enjoy the beer and so do many, many others. No need for renaming. It’s clever and delicious !

Courtney Schennery (Hammonds Plains, 2019-11-27)

#305

Without question! I support you.

Graz Thomas (Dartmouth , 2019-11-27)

#312

I am signing because I think it is ridiculous. Blonde is the colour of the beer, dirty because it is not clear. Nothing more.

Trish Hattie (Fall River, 2019-11-27)

#313

I’m signing because it’s not right. There are other drinks that are that way . Black Russian , sex on the beach ect. And my husband is a dirty blond . Dirty blond is a beer name. It’s wrong.

Margaret Hazelwood (EST gore, 2019-11-27)

#316

I’m a dirty blonde from Dartmouth, and I support their ad campaign.

Colleen O’Hara Gallant (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

#318

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the name of this beer, it is simply a creative name and it is not intended to offend anyone. People need to stop being so sensitive

Jackie Rutledge (Salt Springs , 2019-11-27)

I was a “Dirty Blonde” from Dartmouth and am not offended!!
It’s a hair colour & now a beer colour!

I'm signing because I reject the claim that their Dirty Blonde beer name and marketing campaign is misogynistic and/or problematic in any way.

Corey Parsons (Upper Tantallon, 2019-11-27)

#325

This is absolutely beyond ridiculous. Blonde is a colour.
I Love Nine Locks Dirty Blonde it's my fav beer!!! and I am Blonde!!
Get a life and fight for a real cause.

Samantha Currie (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

#327

The product name and innuendo presented in their Dirty Blonde marketing campaign is harmless humor that does not influence or promote misogynistic behaviors. Signed, a female beer-loving blonde who’s often dirty!

Megan Schmitz (Baltimore, 2019-11-27)

#333

These owners are not that type of people. They have worked very hard and integrity is everything to them.

Camille Macgillivray (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

#334

I support Nine Locks.. I am a dirty blonde, woman and a former server. I think "you people" are jumping on the Offended bandwagon a little too quickly these days! I need a Dirty Blonde tshirt now!

Mireille Parizeau (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

#335

I’m signing because dirty blond is an unfiltered beer, not a misogynist, sexist term! I support Nine Locks Brewing!

Jessie Castle (Middle Musquodoboit , 2019-11-27)

Let’s focus on real matters

Nat Robbins (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

#343

Because I’m a Dirty Blonde from DARTMOUTH and this is brilliant marketing!

Catherine Webb (Dartmouth , 2019-11-27)

#347

The name is fine. People should stip being so sensitive that all they do is pick things apart until they can make something wrong with things. What an awful way to live. Looking for the bad in everything and anything.

Tanya Thiffault (Dartmouth , 2019-11-27)

#349

Dirty Blonde is a beer name and is harmless.

Mary Eileen MacPhail (Bedford, 2019-11-27)

#351

I think the snowflakes need to be stopped in their tracks. This just goes to show how much more masculinity we need in society and by helping Nine Locks by supporting them in this shows how a society can come together and show their support for something that is totally off base and undeniably ludicrous.

Date Mike (Lwr sackville, 2019-11-27)

#354

It's a petty problem. The other brewing establishments are jealous that Nine locks is selling a very popular beer. It is a NAME not a person.

Barry Copp (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

#355

It is great to see a local brewery do so well and I shop there on a regular basis. I think the world has gotten way too critical / serious about items published in social media. There was no intended harm in my opinion.

Dave Steele (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

#356

I'm signing because I support humour in all forms.

Colin Gourlay (Bedford, 2019-11-27)

I am NOT offended by the beer name. People need to pick and choose their battles and put their energy into something worth while!!

Gail Gardiner (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

People really need to get over themselves

Rachel Woodman (Coke harbour, 2019-11-27)

There’s no issue here

Ben Daniels (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

#366

I am signing because Dirty Blonde Beer is just that.... Pour a glass and look at the distinctive color. AND!... CBANS is out of line.

David Clark (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

#369

People find stuff to be over sensitive about on a daily basis. Drives me nuts. I am a dirty blonde and would be proud to drink your dirty blonde!!

Arnelle Mclean (Thorburn, 2019-11-27)

It’s ridiculous

Michelle Blackmore (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

#374

I served this beer for a couple years while I was working in the industry it’s a fantastic product!

Pam Black (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

#375

It’s ridiculous, they said dirty blonde, not dirty blonde whore, for Gods sake, please name one green eyed monster, I have green eyes, don’t think we will have a melt down😩

Mary lou Findlay (Moncton, 2019-11-27)

Beyond Ridiculous is about all I can say about this !

Bernie McQuade (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

Dirty blonde is a hair color!

Adeline Maxwell (Halifax , 2019-11-27)

#383

It is not misogynistic or offensive. I support Nine Locks Brewery all the way!!!

Helen Dicks (Tatamagouche, 2019-11-27)

Girl that started this dyes her hair blonde, if she was a natural blonde shed have more fun with it

Jer White (Timberlea , 2019-11-27)

#386

This whole issue is absolutely ridiculous.

Tammy Fulmore (Fall River, 2019-11-27)

#388

I believe that the Dirty Blonde campaign is harmless humour that is not misogynist (as it does not target women - men are dirty blondes as well). I also think labeling trivial matters like this as sexist, is harmful to the feminist movement.

Tammy Banfield (Halifax, 2019-11-27)

#389

I think it's a cute play on words and it's the men who make the rude comments who need to be educated.

Fern Briggs (East Lawrencetown , 2019-11-27)

People need to lighten up

Vivienne Clark (North Sydney , 2019-11-27)

I feel people in general are
Overreacting over a lot
Of thinks said. It’s getting ridiculous

Diane Harrison-Slack (Dartmouth Ns , 2019-11-27)

#393

I am signing this because it is not sexist and people need to stop being so sensitive.

Tracy Mcneil (Halifax , 2019-11-27)

#397

Regardless of the name people will always find something wrong. We should have addressed the idiot who made the comments to the bar tender (of the competition). Cancel culture is becoming an issue.

Jonathan Duthie (Dartmouth, 2019-11-27)

#398

I am blonde and find it outrageous that we have come to this point that people no longer have a sense of humour and seem to be taking everything as offensive, just ridiculous!

Jeannette Chisholm (Halifax , 2019-11-27)

This is so sad
