Alabamians Object!

Free The Hops | Alabamians For Specialty Beer

It has recently been brought to the attention of the Board of Directors of Free The Hops that two beers from highly respected Founders Brewing Company will not be allowed to be sold in Alabama in spite of meeting all of our state’s legal qualifications for alcohol content and bottle size. The beers at issue are Dirty Bastard and Backwoods Bastard, both sold right next to us in the state of Georgia.
The common thread in the names may have tipped you off that the beers are being kept out of our state because of an objection to the word “bastard” on the label. Unfortunately, before any beer can be sold in Alabama the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Board must approve of its label. Section 20*X*8*.12(2) of the Alabama Administrative Code states “No label shall be approved by the ABC Board which would violate the prohibitions listed in 20*X*7*.01 on general advertising of alcoholic beverages.” Section 20X7.01(b) states “The ABC Board may exercise its discretion to prohibit advertising it considers objectionable.”
Someone at the ABC board thinks the word “bastard” is “objectionable” and has the power to stop the beers from making it to the shelves of retailers around the state. No matter that “Fat Bastard” wines are already sold in our state.

More useless Gubes.

I guess you can't get Arrogant Bastard either.

Damned shame.

uh... I mean darned shame.

Keep the faith, all you Alabastards. Fight the good fight.

Hey, maybe there's a retro-70s movie to be made where some good lookin', fast talkin', hard drivin', loverman brings you all a truckload of bottled bastards.

Cheers,

You're on fire tonight, DG.

Who doesn't like a cheesy movie reference?

I say we make the lead character an ex-Marine - a man who knows something about justice.

And beer.

And being a real bastard.

We dont have to write it. We'll just do a remake. Except this time the lead will be good looking and for god sake can we get a female lead thats at least cute?
