The sale of the Swiss
brew "Hanfblute" has
raised controversy in
Costa Rica as it clearly
has as one its
ingredients the aroma
of cannabis, that is to say,
marijuana. A bottle of the
brew is being sold in
Costa Rica for ¢1.105 colones (us$2.20).
The Directora General del Instituto de
Alcoholismo y Farmacodependencia Guiselle
Amador, expressed her concern for the sale
of the beer in Costa Rica for its negative
implications. "The beer does not contain
cannabis, the aroma it possesses is from
essence. There is no marijuana in the beer",
Amador said.However, the director added that
it could lead to people smoking marijuana,
which is illegal in the country, while drinking
the beer, and can be dangerous to health.
Number 1 Party School?
Molson Coors Brewing Co., the third-largest
U.S. brewer, ended a Canadian photo contest
on Web site Facebook Inc. a week early after
university administrators complained that it
glorified excessive drinking. The intention of
the contest was to show “school spirit and
sociability, but due to some peoples'
misinterpretation we are ending the contest,”
the Molson spokesman said.
Guess now we'll never know who really is #1.

| Biggest Beer Heist Ever Irish police were hunting for a beer bandit who stole 450 full kegs from the Guinness brewery - the largest heist ever at Ireland's largest brewer. Police said a lone man drove into the brewery on Wednesday and hitched his truck to a fully loaded trailer. Guinness representatives said the brewery had never suffered such a large theft before in its 248-year history. The raider took 180 kegs of Guinness stout, 180 kegs of U.S. lager Budweiser and 90 kegs of Danish beer Carlsberg. Guinness brews both of those foreign brands under license. Santa Drinks Beer - Oh No! Maine has barred the selling of Santa's Butt Winter Porter because its label depicts Santa Claus enjoying a pint of brew. The label with Santa might appeal to children, said Maine State Police Lt. Patrick Fleming. Shelton Brothers Distributing accuses the Maine Bureau of Liquor of censorship. ""Last year it was elves. This year it's Santa. Maybe next year it'll be reindeer," said Daniel Shelton, owner of the company. The label for the English-made Santa's Butt Winter Porter shows a view from behind of Santa Claus with a pint of beer in hand sitting on top of a barrel. The beer's name has a double meaning by referring to Santa's rear end and to the "butt" of beer, a term that designates a 126-gallon barrel |
