USA: Denver brewer makes controversial label

Flying Dog Brewery in Denver has won a five-year battle to put the s-word on the label of its Red Dog Ale, ABC News communicated May 17. Colorado liquor authorities had refused to approve the "Good Beer No S—t" slogan. The brewer sued, claiming a First Amendment infringement. Now, the brewery says the controversial label has been OK'd by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The label will go on Road Dog Ale starting July 1.
