SISKIYU CUNTY Beer’s use of ‘Weed’ falling flat
San Francisco Chronicle – Apr 24, 2008
tmpl –> Federal alcohol regulators thought differently. They have ordered Dillmann to stop selling beer bottles with caps that read “Try Legal Weed. The dispute started in February when Dillmann sent the proposed label for his latest beer Lemurian Lager to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau for approval. The agency which regulates the industry asked for some changes to the label along with a sample bottle cap. Dillmann obliged sending the caps he has been using for his five current beers. The agency responded that the message on the caps amounted to a drug reference… Dillmann 61 started the Mount Shasta Brewing Co. He said he has always used the town’s name on his beers. His bottle labels follow a long tradition of exploiting the town’s name. Even city officials do it. A sign posted on the way out of town reads “Temporarily ut of Weed” while another says “100 Percent Pure Weed. ” Dillmann noted those examples in an appeal letter he sent to the alcohol bureau.

article-tools –> Paul Lampathakis April 24 2008 05:55pm THERE’LL be at least one pub with no beer on Anzac Day in Australia. The Cocos-Keeling Islands have run out of the golden ale because of an irregular shipping arrangement for general supplies. Kylie James manager of West Island’s community-owned non-profit Cocos Club said: “To have no beer to serve on Anzac Day is very un-Australian”. She and other islanders had asked the Federal Attorney-General’s Department to intervene before the holiday. The department has responsibility for the Australian territory which lies about 2800 km north-west of Perth.
