pras Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Earlier this month, Flying Dog Brewery withdrew their membership in the Brewers Association. This is on the heels of the Brewers Association recent prohibition/suggestions that breweries refrain from issuing marketing that is “sexually explicit, lewd, or demeaning brand names, language, text, graphics, photos, video, or other images.” It will be interesting to see if anyone else follows suit. Prior to Flying Dog's withdrawal, I had the opportunity to ask Jim Caruso, FD's CEO what he thought about the change. He totally went off and became animated. I certainly struck a cord with my question. Jim and Flying Dog sued the Michigan Alcohol Board (and ultimately won) when Raging Bitch, their very good Belgian style IPA was banned from sale in the state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 [I just want to say that I think this is an excellent piece of hard news that is both topical and interesting, without interjecting opinion into the presentation (not that you couldn't have if you wanted to). Very well done, pras.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
