The Bitches and Bastards of Beer Branding

Apparently, a Fat Bastard and a Dirty Bitch do not a Dirty Bastard make, at least not in Alabama.

According to the May 4, 2012 issue of The Week magazine, the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board banned the sale of Dirty Bastard Beer "to keep dirty pictures and dirty words away from children." However, the Board continues to allow the sale of Fat Bastard wine and Dirty Bitch beer.

Interesting, though not entirely accurate. It is actually called Raging Bitch beer.

Either way, the linguistic hypocrisy is evident.
