Those naughty beer elves
I’m guessing that you’ve already read or heard about the flap in Connecticut over labels for Bad Elf and Seriously Bad Elf beers.
Not much to add here, other than it seems terribly silly and thank goodness that we’re talking about bottles with flavorful beer inside. We don’t need another Bad Frog.
Instead we’ll send you to the web site of Shelton Brothers, which imports the Ridgeway beers enjoying so much celebrity:
In the case of State of Connecticut vs. Santa Claus, the defendant pleads . . . bewildered. “I never meant to hurt anybody,” an obviously shaken Claus told reporters, after posting bail at a Hartford-area police station.
Claus, also known to authorities as Kris Kringle and Father Christmas, was taken into custody after alert analysts at the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection noticed his likeness on the label for an imported English Ale (bottle-conditioned, 9% abv, bloody delicious) known as Seriously Bad Elf.
