Whoops: Progressive-Themed Beer Quickly Canceled for Offensive KKK Packaging
The beverage distributor World of Beer recently stocked a Democratic-themed beer dressed up in an old Democratic uniform, which scared Democrats. The questionable “Yellow Belly” beer was created by a pair of international breweries to “celebrate all things progressive.”
It was picked up by major craft brew distributor World of Beer, which quickly sent the Klan-clad brews across the country. According to the brewery, the intention was to bring awareness to institutional racism and the cowardice of the KKK. They named their beer “Yellow Belly,” which they define as “a person who is without courage, fortitude, or nerve; a coward.”
Exactly how this message is conveyed by a peanut butter biscuit stout wrapped in a KKK hood is unclear.
Serving customers a product that resembles the KKK without warning is beyond insensitive… it’s outrageous. @WOB_USA should not only take if off their menu but should also provide anti-racism training to all members of their company & staff. #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/Rtb3Om88jJ
