Brew Ha Ha: what’s all of the fuss about beer?

Try a Weed beer

There are a lot of obscure and strange laws on the books which relate to how beer and other alcoholic products can be marketed, sold, distributed, and pretty much limiting all aspects of the product which can be limited. The Mount Shasta Brewing Co. found this out the hard way, when the FDA decided that its advertisements violated a rule against the use of drug references in alcohol labeling. Given the promo - “Try Legal Weed” - they might have a point.

Then again, they might not, because Shasta brews in the town of Weed, California. For more info check out this article from law.com.

    You know that hops is related to pot right? Both are in the Canabaceae family … it’s said there is some THC or similar compounds in hops.
