A brewing company offered an apology after wanting to name its beer White Guilt.
Lakeville Brew Crew, a yet to be opened Indiana-based brewery, apologized after planning on naming its beers controversial names such as White Guilt, Flint Michigan Tap Water and Black Beer Matters, The Associated Press reported Thursday.
The brewerys owners Jon Duncan and Rodney Chlebek said that after receiving an overwhelmingly negative reaction to the names, they wiped clean the list, according to the South Bend Tribune. [ ]
The brewerys owners claimed that they originally chose such polarizing names to bring attention to the Flint water crisis in Michigan.

If you are gonna make beer, it should be good beer. That is your focus. Your woke name will not sell it.
The same thing works in barbecue. Notice how many weird names there are for pulled pork or brisket? Yeah, I thought you might agree.
Good luck kiddies. A big part of being in business is admitting your mistakes, quickly. Then move on and don’t look back.
You know, Leftists are some kind of invulnerable superhero when it comes to so many things...they can’t be penetrated, wade, touched, disturbed, or harmed by logic, consideration, persuasion, facts, irony, humor, sarcasm, anger, statistics, or common sense.
Nothing gets through their Leftist armor. They are impervious. They stand all logical arguments and assaults like a stone wall 100 feet thick.
You nearly have to admire it.
Except for one thing: They cannot withstand ridicule. They get so angry when they are ridiculed, that the masking veneer of snobbish virtue signaling occasionally slips from their face for just a second or so to reveal a snarling, scowling, hateful countenance. Then like a shadow on a sunny day the veneer goes back on.
This is why they must be ridiculed with relish, and often.
It is why we have the right man in the Oval Office right now.
Maybe, but they don’t appear to be starting a distillery. What would you recommend making such a vodka out of, grains or potatoes?
Love it!
I honestly have never been able to develop a palate for beer and wine. I drink it because I like the effect (each one imparts a different type of intoxication) and socially they are quite fun. And if I go to a wine or brew tasting thing, I try hard, but it doesn’t move me.
That said, I would love to impart names and design labels! I love going into a liquor store and examining all the bottles...I almost always hold one up to my wife to show her because we both appreciate them in much the same way...we find the names and labels often clever and entertaining.
Oh FFS! I’d love to create something that offends libs just for the pleasure of not giving in, not even a smidgen.
You definitely should never have any fun doing it.
Some moonshiners used to throw a yellow work glove into their batches for a nice whiskey tint.
Im eating at Juniors Barbeque right now. Youll never guess what they named their pulled pork....its called pulled pork. Honest. Darn good, too. I ordered the meat plate. More truth in branding. Goes good with the Mad Bomber Blonde.
Fine by me. Just name another one Black Shakedown and sell them together in 6 packs.
What is wrong with that brewing company? Don’t they know that they live in the modern equivalent of Brezhnev’s Russia? You won’t be shot for being politically incorrect.
But you will be hounded. And you will be vilified. No bullets. But continuous slaps to the face. Repent comrades, and don’t stray from the party line.
Once upon a time, long long ago I dreamed of opening a brewery. The name I wanted to use was “Buck Snort Beer”. Feel free to use it guys. Also I considered also making Boars Breath Ale.
Search “Liberal Tears Gun Oil”. It’s a real product, might not have any left as it supposedly had a limited run...but I bet demand might have changed their thinking.
;>)
They missed a huge marketing opportunity. If they gave some of the proceeds, as in water bottles, to Flint residents they could keep the name and ride the controversy to spread their product.
For the “White Guilt” they could multiply things with a “10% discount for blacks” subtitle - simultaneously creating another outrage and mentioning the Flint product at every opportunity.
....drive them nuts.
I’d buy it.
No kidding...I am taking that!
The name makes fun of white people who unnecessarily feel guilty for being white. Self hate is what the Left uses to control whites and it is a cancer.
saw it haha I even saw the starbucks version of it as a MAGA cup
Sounds like some woke white boys done with liberal guilt trips.
The Knockout game would
Fall into that ,as well.
That makes it dangerous.
