Beer Protest

The Republic of the Marshall Islands is angry with a beer,
named Bikini Atoll made by the Manhattan Project Beer
Company, Dallas , Texas. The beer is also drawing the ire of
critics on social media, and the National Nuclear Commission
of the Marshall Islands, which slammed the brewery for its
“frivolous use of Bikini’s name” while ignoring the
“devastation, injuries and damages associated with U.S.
Government activities on Bikini Atoll.” The brewery has no
intention of changing the name at this point despite petition
imploring Whole Foods to stop carrying the beer.

PBR Booze

Pabst has alredy brought out Hard Coffee and now they have
begun distributing Pabst Blue Ribbon Whiskey, the brand's
very first spirit. Notably 80-proof and "aged 5 seconds," PBR
Whiskey is being produced in collaboration with New Holland
Brewing just across Lake Michigan opposite from where
Pabst founder Jacob Best afirst set up a brewery

Beer Ban

This year's Great British Beer Festival will no longer allow
beer companies to bring in merchandise that disparages
women with sexist names.Of the beers that have been banned
by the festival's organizers at the Campaign for Real Ale
(CAMRA) are Dizzy Blonde, Slack Alice (which is described
as “a little tart”), Leg-Spreader and Village Bike, Metro
reported. The ban also includes inappropriate designs of
women on the beer labels themselves. The action came after
a survey showed 68 percent of women would not purchase
any festival beer that appeared to be sexist.
