Netizens can't 'beer' it. Ted Cruz recently posted a picture of himself watching a game drinking a Sam Adams beer, and the Texas senator is getting trolled for the same.

"Getting ready for tip-off, with conflicted loyalties: I’m a lifelong Houstonian, but I’ve got a nephew & niece at Baylor. Well, I represent the entire State of Texas, and either way Texas wins! #SicEm #UofH #PhiSlamaJama," tweeted Cruz, standing in front of a TV screen with a beer in hand. Twitter users were quick to respond with memes, replacing the contents on the TV screen and just making fun of his choice of poison.

'What Texan drinks Sam Adams?'

Netizens brought attention to what Texans' favorite beer is. And it's not Sam Adams. "All of the great beers made in Texas and he's drinking a Sam Adams. Can't even pander right," said a Twitter user. "as someone who usually visits Austin twice a year, I can tell you this: nobody drinks Sam Adams there. Shiner and Lone Star, baby. also: ted cruz is 8 pounds of s**t in a 7-pound bag," said another.

"Sam Adams beer is just as Texan as Ted Cruz and his Cancun getaways. Oh, also, Ted encouraged an insurrection against the government of the United States," said a third. "this little b***h drinking a sam adams instead of a shiner bock he can’t even pander to texans right", a tweet said. "When Cougar High plays the damn Baptists... I root for a tornado to hit the arena. And seriously, what Texan drinks Sam Adams? Shiner or Lone Star or one of our fine Texas craft beers, he is just the sort of moron who would run to Cancun in an emergency," said another.



 



 



 



 

'Shocked it wasn’t a Corona'

A Twitter user said: "Over 100 breweries in the state of Texas and you go with a generic Sam Adams. I’m actually shocked it wasn’t a Corona, though, given your fondness for Cancun, Mexico." "I don't see the problem. Ted Cruz is just sipping on some Sam Adams while enjoying one of his favorite films. What's the big deal?" said another, using the template of his post and changing the TV screen. "Serious cognitive dissonance. He’s holding a Sam Adams," said a tweet.



 



 



 

'Only American beer in Cancun'

"Ted Cruz is drinking a Sam Adams because that’s the only American beer they have in Cancun," quipped a Twitter user. "The owner of Sam Adams is a Right-Wing dickbag. This is simply Ted advertising for one of Ted's ultimate paymasters," said another. "The “stick to sports” guy can’t even stick to a team," said a third.



 



 



 

'Sam Adams is wonderful, Ted Cruz isn't'

Others wondered what all the fuss was about. "You’re allowed to drink beer from another state. That’s a reasonable thing... what a stretch," said a Twitter user. "Maybe— just maybe— bear with me here— maybe Ted Cruz isn’t pandering and genuinely likes Sam Adams. Being from New England myself I don’t particularly care for Sam Adams, I prefer Washington’s own Elysian Space Dust IPA. Not everything has to be political," said another. "People literally insulting Ted Cruz because he drinking a Sam Adams is the perfect example of what is wrong with our country right now. I love Tiger beer. Does that mean I am in the pocket of China now? " said a third. "Sam Adams is wonderful, Ted Cruz isn't," quipped a netizen.
