Conn. State Protecting UsFrom Bad Beer Elves

[tbrown 26]

The thought police Nazis in Connecticutt have found something new to protect our children from. The State Liquor Board has anounced they will not allow the sale of Very Bad Elf Double Ale, because the label MIGHT appeal to children. Very Bad Elf is an English imported Double Ale for the Xmas season. The label shows a nasty little shit of an elf firing projectiles with a slingshot at Santa's sled and reindeer (the rotten little bastard...). Anyway that's just too much for the Nazis at Thought Control Central, who are abusing their authority by banning anything their thick cobwebby skulls can't understand.

The first question that comes to my mind is whether the State enforces a minimum age law for the purchase of alcohol. I'd be more worried about the adults who this sort of label might appeal to (especially the ones who like to jump out of airplanes, you know, the kooks). Aside from what little kids are doing in a state run liquor store at all.



This is BEER, real Ensglish ale ! There are skydivers in Connecticutt, am I right ? To arms ! One if by land, two if by sea, fifty four - forty or fight !

Hmm, that sounds very much like the rather magnificent Hobgoblin beer from the Wychwood brewery. Maybe it's the same beer rebranded. If so I am sorry for your loss, you really would have enjoyed it

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I couldn't agree with you more... this is case of do-gooders gone nuts.

Here's a shot of the bottle.

hehe, good luck trying to get a kid to drink real ale no matter what picture you put on the front. There's just not enough sugar in it to keep kiddies happy.
