Brewery Apologizes for ‘Date Grape’ Beer

A Milwaukee brewing company asked customers to help name its next craft brew — and then it all went horribly wrong.

MobCraft Beer, which regularly asks customers to name their new concoctions, crowd-sourced for suggestions for an upcoming brew that includes grapes and dates.

“Date Grape” made the top eight before the company realized that having fun with the name of a type of sexual assault wasn’t a good idea.

This is a legitimately funny story.

Karma for putting dates and grapes in beer. WTF?

I am going to assume one person complained then got their little SJW friends to complain for a total of 5 complaints.

Some people go out of their way to avoid having any semblance of a sense of humor.

In the Dallas area, Deep Ellum Brewing stirred up a controversy with its slogan for "Dallas Blonde" Ale:

Seems like they've stuck to their guns despite the angry feminists' reaction.

Hell of a lot better than Hey the Rabbit Died beer.

Cannot take a joke?

When serendipity hands you a load of dates and grapes, you make Date Grape Beer.

It's not like they decided to insult native Americans by calling it "Crazy Horse Malt Liquor". Oh wait...

How long will it take for someone to sue, claiming that she was in fear and dread?
