This was the worst of them. Can't believe the ABC board approved. (All labels have to be submitted for state approval)

How does approval work for this industry?

My company has to have all of our cartons and artwork approved, but it's more of a were doing what we claim regulatory approval, than a we like the content approval.

In about 2008 or so, the State of Maine banned the sale of a beer because of its packaging.

The beer was a British one and it was “Santa’s Butt.” It pictured a fat ass Santa sitting on a large wooden keg. At some time in the 1700-1800’s, a wooden keg of beer was a butt.

The State banned the beer. The importer and distributor sued and won.

The suit carried well beyond Maine.

I also remember a brewery……maybe Flying Dog……they had dogs effing all over the labels.

Crude beer labels have been commonplace for 20+ years.

Raping a 13 year-old has nothing to do with a crude label.

iMHO, humping dogs on a label is vastly different from explicit bdsm themes and/or strap-on dildos and fleshlights.

Not saying that it’s a direct line between explicit labels and raping a 13 yr old, by any means. Still, it does give one pause.

My point is that what’s allowed on alcohol labels has EXPANDED in a huge way over the last 20 years.

A crude, crass label isn’t indicative of anything aside from a lack of taste.

I remember an expensive Australian wine…..Ye Old Bastard….a mediocre, yet widely sold French wine named Fat Bastard.

I figured it would be ages before a wine had Bitch in the name. I was wrong.

And my point remains that the words “bastard” or “bitch” are far less sexually explicit than images of strap-ons and bondage gear.

True, it could indicate nothing more than bad taste. But it makes one question the proclivities of those who’d put out such a label far more than if they’d used the bitch/bastard lingo that’s been around since at least Shakespeare.

Let's not forget Menage a Trois....for both beer and wine, people will buy 'labels' when they are standing there in a store with an overwhelming number of choices. The prosecution in this case will have plenty of hard evidence without having to bring in beer can designs.

I love the Mountain Candy IPA. Will continue to drink the same as I will continue to eat at Chick-fil-A.

Off with his head if found guilty. Cancel culture is nothing more than a holier than thou mental illness, but anyones right.

their distribution agreements with Adams are going to be cancelled, the american lounge at the charlotte Douglas had already pulled it from the bar last night and there are multiple posts from bars dumping the beer down the drain. There is not going to be any mountain candy ipa for you to drink.
this is not cancel culture, this is called consequences.

I can't comprehend people doing what he did. He also threw away a successful business and his family. His family is going to suffer, too, if the brewery goes under because of this.
 
Say what you will about cancel culture or boycotting, but if you support certain businesses and flaunt it in my face with an “eff you! You all took this too far! I’ll eat Chick-fil-A and shop at Hobby Lobby all day long just to shove it in your face” attitude, then we can’t be friends.
