Default Lagunitas Wilco Tango Foxtrot

And I quote directly from the bottles label.

In the murky realm of things that make you go hmmm... 2010 may rank way up there. From the curious per curiam decision of 531US98 in 2000, to WTC7, to the Superdome, to the Fall of the House of Lehman, to the Nobel Presidents Afghan Expedition escalation, to the oxymoronic Jobless Recovery of 2010; we have been confused. So, we done the only thing we could-we made beer-and lots of it. 6,420m cases of it to be exact. As far as we know, you drank all of it. Thank you for that, because if you had not we would have been looking for a bailout of our own, and we haven't heard about any breweries either needing or recieving any of those Yuan-flavored TARP dollars...although we read that the Las Vegas adult video industry did. Nobody knows why. So in a world that is once again the proverbial "Ball of Confusion", craft beer alone seems to carry it's own weight. It's nice to be on the winning team and thank you for your friendship and imbibilicioisness.
yeah I am gonna go buy some more to keep on hand

You think Whiskey written on a beer bottle wouldn't have caused more problems than it would have solved?

But using a incorrect way of spelling W while trying to say 2010 is confusing is just ironic... Maybe they were going for that. Bitching about confusion while using a confusing way to spell W is just weird.

Hadn't thought of it that way :chuckles: It does have a certain irony to it.

Turns out all labeling on alcoholic beverages have to meet .gov approval and the word whiskey would never get a pass.
