The Sydney pubs that are boycotting Coopers beer

It's been a couple of days since South Australian brewing company, Coopers and Bible Society Australia released their "Keeping It Light" ad campaign, aimed to 'reach even more Australian's with God's word'. After some fierce nationwide backlash, pubs have started boycotting the beer, taking it off tap and refusing to order more. Here are the Sydney pubs that have boycotted Coopers faster than you can say, 'Amen!' for the company's pass at the marriage equality debate.

The Union Bar, Newtown

The Union Bar in Newtown posted on their Facebook admonishing the language coming out of Coopers Brewery, particularly the call to "Keep it Light" in regard to an issue effecting thousands and far from a light-hearted debate.

The Bearded Tit in Redfern shared an article on the topic, simply announcing that Coopers would no longer be available along with the hashtag #keepingitreal.
