Does it come in a 1/6 Barrel?
Someone’s got to be kidding me with Santa’s Butt Winter Porter (we kind of lost track of the ‘winter porter’ part, didn’t we?). I totally want to buy some right this minute. I love all of this flagrancy regarding beer labels. Like there’s some 16 year old sitting there saying, “Jeez, I wasn’t going to drink beer until I was 21, but that Santa’s Butt label is really calling me – oh to heck with it, I’m drinking”.
I suppose a line needs to be drawn somewhere with labels - I am for a little decorum, but that wasn’t anywhere near it. Holy job justification, Batman. Every time we raise such a stink about something, the consumer just wants more of it than they would have before the idiocy started anyway. Does it come in a 1/6 barrel? Can I get one at Toys-R-Us?
I would very seriously like to know how much state money was spent on that one. And in my opinion, -CLU’s – Maine, American and beyond, can often add as much to the ridiculousness as they do good – but good for them on this one.
Alright, that’s enough on that I suppose.
Patriots vs. Jets on Sunday at 1PM. Don’t miss it. If you’re going to have a couple of brews while you watch the game – I recommend something hoppy – Gritty’s ESB, Shipyard IPA, Harpoon IPA, Redhook ESB, Smuttynose IPA, Sebago Frye’s Leap IPA, Dogfish IPA, and so on. Oh yeah - and drink it from a glass, will ya’.
I’ll be on the other side of the country next week – I’ll reach out and let you know what I’m drinking out there.
Kampai,

Funny labels usually mean crappy beer. I once drank a Billy Beer and it almost ruined me. It was the haggis of the industry, much as his brother was for the economy.
I did, however, find this loveley, delicious, fresh beer, ester-rich and creamy white head, but had a label with a scantily clad woman dropping her wedding ring into a glass stein. It's called "Divorced Blonde Ale", brewed in Freeport (somewhere near the harbor I'm told). I found it at Oak PLaza Redemption Center in Scarborough, one of the best places in Maine to fetch unusual and tasty adult beverages. I bought it for the cute label, and because it was a relatively cheap 22oz. bottle, but what a surprise!
