This is apparently the label in question.

It's tacky to be sure, but I don't see anything overtly sexist about it. Was the beer any good?

And this is the response. Introducing Feminista beer. Just the blandness and mediocrity of the label speaks for itself.

I think I speak for all of one Japanese individual when I say, I am not offended. And I seriously want to know if the person who.called this label racist is Japanese? If not, then find an individual who is both from Japan and offended. Otherwise, get the hell over yourself! For real!

But outrage culture isn't interested in banning anything...

No one is banning anything. Binny's made a business decision not to carry a beer with a label that they think some of their customers will find offensive.

This is pretty standard humor for SW and I think banning it is just oversensitive and silly. I mean, they have "420" and "Take 2 Pils".

I'm more of a Terrapin guy myself, but I have to admit that when it comes to cheeky labels Sweetwater wins hands down.
[–] flea1400 ago
In fairness, there's a difference between those labels and one that says "a huge dry-hopped stiffy for a full-figured beer, resulting in an explosive finish." It is suggestive content. I can see why Binny's would decide not to carry it if they think it will be unappealing to their female clientele. They can instead use that shelf space for something they think will sell better.

Well now I want a bottle of it. No matter how over-hopped it is it'll be sweet enough knowing how much the SJWs hate it.
