- Zippo, on 07/15/2009, -2/+24They should have known there would be trouble brewing when they printed those.
- Doodlepen, on 07/15/2009, -1/+15Dugg for nut brown ale. poor Santas nuts....
- mxxz, on 07/15/2009, -0/+13So basically, you cant show ***** on beer, even though people have to be over 18 (or 21 in the states) to drink it.
Come on, if you don't want to see ***** when you look at the beer label don't buy that brand of beer. - phantomsranch, on 07/15/2009, -2/+15yep

...yep. - ophello, on 07/15/2009, -1/+11Santa's Butt looks tasty.
- techdever, on 07/15/2009, -0/+9yep

- DrDragun, on 07/15/2009, -3/+11Some of those are barley tamer than porn
- Fozefy, on 07/15/2009, -5/+13They are almost all Christmas beers and none of them are really all that interesting. On top of that its on multiple pages, this does not deserve front page, buried.
- Nicksname1, on 07/15/2009, -3/+98 pages is too many? What do you pay for your broadband by the numbers of pages you load in a month? I agree they should have done one page with one slideshow, but we all know your time is not that valuable if you took the time to comment "Too many pages. Later"
- minnecrapolis, on 07/15/2009, -0/+5These brewers had high hops their labels would increase their sales.
- jdames1980, on 07/15/2009, -1/+6Dugg for "Nut Browned Ale"
- nik707, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4And Lagunitas has "censored:, which was called Kronik previously. And a guy in the city of Weed California had to fight with them to sell beer with the word Weed on it.
Alcohol is a food and/or a drug, why the tight-asses that regulate firearms get to regulate it makes as much sense as calling catchup a vegetable. - asnider, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4I honestly don't understand why any of those ran into trouble. The ones with nudity I can sort of understand, because some people are prudes (oh no! A famous painting shows a bit of nipple!). But, the Christmas ones...why did they run into legal trouble?
The only reason I can think of is that someone decided that having a picture of Santa on the label meant that the company was trying to market beer to children (though, if they'd looked at the picture for than 2 seconds, they'd have realized that's not the case).
This article was really, really not interesting. I was expecting some truly bizarre and/or shocking beer labels and all I got was pictures of Santa's elves looking evil. - repmekevets, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4kind of silly these labels would be banned. you have to be 21 to buy brew, so who are they worrying about corrupting?
- RealmDown, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4Look for coal in YOUR stocking....
- thathappycat, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3There should be more ***** on beer. I mean why the hell not?
- comat0se, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3These labels suck... The best one was Dogfish Head. They made a Pilsner which they called "Prescription Pils," which only lasted a short period of time before the Feds told them to stop. Dogfish Head responded by renaming it to Golden Shower. Here's a pic of the label: http://bit.ly/nspBq That lasted for a while, until someone at the BATF realized what a Golden Shower was. Now it's called Golden Era.
They also ran into trouble in the early days of their World Wide Stout, because it was brewed with "Vim and Vigor" and the feds balked at that, saying it was a health claim. - RealmDown, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3@iveL : No, you did not fix it for me. You just emphasized my meaning for the implicationally impaired.
- MacEnvy, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Nice, cool-looking stuff:

How's it taste though? - davidrools, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2they should foam a coalition to protect their rights against bitter opponents
- mmpre, on 07/15/2009, -3/+5Michael Jackson Pocket Guide to Beer - wonder if that's any good...
- AsSubtleAsABrik, on 07/15/2009, -2/+4I'm suprised they didn't mention flying dog. I think it's their porter that has "good beer, no *****" written on it. The story of their legal battles to be able to write that are chronicled on the bottle.
- tysonjacob, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2in the butt
- nik707, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2You can buy porn at 18, and alcohol at 21, so shouldn't it be illegal for there to be beer ads in Hustler following this bad logic?
- Taiyoryu, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
- costumemaker, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2not all on one page i can handle.. but 15-20 seconds per page with only one per page killed me after number 3.
- inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Here is the full story about Santa Butt's beer - http://www.mavericklabel.com/articles/beer-labels- ...
- congnelius, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2What kind of man doesn't want to see ***** when he drinks a beer???
- asnider, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2No it wouldn't have been.
- An800lbGorilla, on 07/18/2009, -0/+1I've had it at the ginger man in NYC. It's a really good, spicy porter.
- jitterbits, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Oh, THAT'S why it's called "Censored"? I always wondered.
- Shiftgood, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1It tastes great. Of course you might think im being biased. But we had beer critics come taste it before we decided to be a company and they gave us the green light.. they even went as far to say "i love this beer"
I just like it because you can drink 8 of them and not get full/ sick of the taste. - An800lbGorilla, on 07/18/2009, -0/+1That's precisely why I tried it, and I'm glad I did. It's delicious.
- Akaziel, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1This reminds me of my old boss at a bar called The Bier Stube, in Toledo, OH. When he bought the bar, he contacted a brewery and made his own beer just for the new bar. He had beer labels made up, TONS of pint glasses for sale at $2.50 a pop with his beer label on it (and a made-up history of the beer that was pretty damn funny), and the license agency approved it. He had tons of kegs of the stuff ready for opening night.
The night before, they told him they'd reversed their decision. He could not sell Pha King Beer. - TheMu, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1They're typically referred to as Maineiacs.
- shawn14200, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Thank you for clearing that up...I was a bit confused
- sirflibble, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Skinny Blonde here in Australia has a girl in a bikini on it. As you drink it, the bikini top disappears.
- kelmaster1, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1***** Maine
"undignified or improper" - stfu you damn prudes... - DirtyVicar, on 07/15/2009, -2/+3Who would actually buy a beer called "Santa's Butt"? I know they're trying to be funny, but just... eww.
- nik707, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Yet they let other people get away with it. I have a bottle of Santa's Helper Imperial stout, complete w/ sexual innuendo in the description, aging in the cellar for next x-mas.
- nik707, on 07/20/2009, -0/+1http://ratebeer.com/beer/lagunitas-censored-kronik ...
- nik707, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1That is as good as their damn good beers.
- nik707, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Wrong Jackson. The famous beer writer, not the king of pop.
- nepidae, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Tip of the Penis Hair Ale is still being censored though.
- TexanRudeBoy, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Its far more likely a move initiated by a Maine based brewer that competes with these imports than anyone else.
