Michigan Gets Bitchy Over Label

They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but can you judge a beer by its label?  Beer becomes a first amendment issue.  @JayeMarie, beer lover & future lawyer helps breakdown the legal side of this beer issue.

The Breakdown: Flying Dog filed suit in federal court this week against the Michigan Liquor Control Commission (MLCC) with the request that the federal judge overturn the state-wide ban on one of its top selling beers, Raging Bitch, and award Flying Dog damages for the loss of sales due to the ban.

All out of state beer manufacturers must apply to the MLCC for a license to sell their product within the state of Michigan.  Failure to do so may result in criminal charges.

Flying Dog first applied for a license to sell Raging Bitch in 2009 but was turned down.  The brewery appealed only to be turned down again because according to the MLLC, the brew’s name, label, and statement on the back “contains such language deemed detrimental to the health, safety or welfare of the general public.”
