Founders Brewing Co. is forced to get rid of the baby on its label

Michigan has followed New Hampshire by banning the sale of Founders Brewery’s Oatmeal Breakfast Stout because a baby appears on the label

The Grand Rapids-based brewery announced last week it was changing the label after the image was said to promote underage drinking.

Ridiculous.

Did yo also know that you have to age verify to go on to a brewery's site?

I looked at a site that makes hash pipes and did not have to age verify.

I did not have to age verify at the RJ Reynolds site.

Our moral compasses are so off course.

Those 2 year olds can really down some serious beer.

I’ve drank some Founders Oatmeal Stout a few times over the last 3-4 years and never once did I think of it as promoting underage drinking.

IF anything I would have thought the oatmeal more along with Gerber’s Baby Cereal . . . and a cute little baby on the package. Nothing more.

Also, did you know that one person in the U.S. by the name of Kent Martin gets to determine which beer labels are o.k. and which are not o.k. He has had the job for several years and all beer labels have to be approved by him before they can be sold anywhere in the United States.

My wife was nursing one of our children. He seemed to be dissatisfied with the ‘meals’.
Dr. told my wife to drink a beer or two in order to increase the nourishment of her milk.

But aborting babies is A-OK...

An absurd accusation for an absurd label picture.

Back in the day, people had a sense of humor.

Double Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Stout? How is that even a beer? Kids and their candy...

[Charles Martel]

Pfft. Just add a touch of facial hair to that image. Dare them to attack the label image of a “Little Person”.

I’ve got some colonial porter aging at the local brewery that will likely come out as being a very corn rich dry dark chocolate... Yeast had a field day after first taking a good week to come to grips with the bounty of dark molasses and local honey that was available.

meh...

Life is too short to drink fizzy yellow beer.

[tophat9000]

Yea a painted baby picture for marketing, on a beer bottle has to be stopped

But you can still buy real dead baby parts from PP..and PP can sell really dead baby parts..for profit..for big profit..

...Dam the lefts priority are screwed up

[lostboy61]

I drank a double bock with a old goat (with horns)picture on the label. I hope there is not a deeper meaning to the label.

[T-Bird45]

Beyond ridiculous, it also ignores the history of beer where it was the only sterile liquid to drink and kids drank it rather than the polluted water of the Middle Ages.

[Rinnwald]

I like this baby better anyway.
