Several US states have banned a Christmas beer that is brewed in the UK over it's label. The excuse given is that Santa's Butt will promote underage drinking. Huh?!
Bad marketing on the part of the brewery or will these bottles become instant sought after collectibles? My vote goes to the latter.
The full BBC article can be read here. Check out the label. Too Funny!

I'm gonna guess they instantly become collectibles and end up being the biggest joke of the season!

That's too funny!! I wonder what the real reason is? Maybe Budweiser's worried that the label is so cool their sales will slump around Christmas and New Years

That is so crazy. They would become collectibles. The waste so much time on stupid things instead of what is important.
