| Baby Beer Label Battle Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan of NH vetoed a measure that would have allowed some images of minors on alcoholic beverage labels as long as they didn't encourage young people to drink. The issue came to a head over Founder's Breakfast Stout. The beer's label depicts a chubby, Norman Rockwell-esque baby scooping oatmeal into his mouth. Hassan said allowing the images could undermine the state's efforts to fight underage drinking. Opponents to the governor said the veto is an overreach and noted that neighboring Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont sell the beer and that no reasonable person would believe that the label is intended to appeal to minors in anyway. They also pointed out that a New Hampshire-produced craft beer, Smuttynose Baltic Porter, would have to come off the shelves because its label shows Father Time and a baby. The federal government already prohibits alcohol labeling or advertising that targets minors. The vetoed bill would have given the state's Liquor Commission discretion to approve or deny labels. The New Hampshire House then pushed back on Gov. Maggie Hassan's veto as they reached the two-thirds threshold to override it.. If the Senate agrees, the veto will be officially overridden. |
