With a name like that they'd better get into extreme beers. Do they expect NSLC will ever list their stuff now?

NSLC could try to stop it but they'd likely fail. Aside from that, I fully expect the name change would need to be first approved by the NSLC.

So many signs have been stolen over the years that the village held a vote in 2004 on whether to change its ancient name. But the residents voted against the motion. "Twelve or 13 town signs have been stolen. We've taken to fixing them with concrete, welding and rivets," said the mayor of Fucking, Franz Meindl.

The graphic designer part of me wants to jump all over this logo. In my opinion, their other logo was much better, albeit not as original as this one. This one looks a bit like it was thrown together in a hurry without much thought.

:lol: Ha! Like I said, the graphic designer part of me sees all kinds of issues with it, but I definitely think it's the right move for them. It's a lot more recognizable/unique image. The old logo was a little too Anchor Brewing-like.
