| Raging B****h! Flying Dog brewery is suing the Michigan Liquor Control Commission over the agency's decision to reject labels for the bottler's "Raging B***h" beer. The brewery is asking a federal judge to issue an injunction overriding the board's decision and allow it to advertise and sell the beer in Michigan. The Frederick, Md.-based Flying Dog says it has refrained from retailing the beer in the state out of fear of criminal penalty for selling without a license. BeerNexus is recommending that Flying Dog should just drop the offending word and simply call it "Bitch" beer. ---------------- A-B Launches Beer Spykes Anheuser-Busch Cos. is now selling their new fruity beer called Spykes.
