BrewDog – First Ever Protest Beer – Hello My Name is Vladimir (This Beer Is Not For Gays)

BrewDog has created a new beer called "Hello My Name Is Vladimir.  This beer is aimed squarely at Vladimir Putin (shown wearing lipstick on the label) and his stance on gay rights in Russia and it has been deemed the “world’s first protest beer. (50% of profits from the sale of the beer will be donated directly to charities that represent oppressed minorities around the world.)”  For fun, our pals Martin Dickie & James Watt even mailed a case to the Kremlin.  The beer is an 8.2% ABV Double IPA brewed with Limonnik Berries (a fruit regarded by some in Russia to enhance sexual performance.) To participate in the protest, add the hashtag #NotFOrGays.

“We sincerely hope that when Vladimir Putin is tired from a busy day riding horses with his top off, grappling with burly men on the Judo mat or fishing in his Speedos, he reclines on a velvet chaise longue and has one of his handsome helpers wet his whistle with a glass of Hello My Name is Vladimir,” said James Watt.
