The fate and story of Hop Obama

“Sixpoint Brewery (in Red Hook, Brooklyn) was raided by the Feds and they put the kabosh on our Hop Obama.  Naturally, I was infuriated by the censorship so I decided to do what I’ve done from the start - turn it into a story and allow the company to serve as a platform for delivering the story. However, this was quickly squashed by the Feds as well.  Apparently, they did not want us making the beer NOR did they want me to create a story out of it.

Then, the plot thickens….The Department of Homeland Security gets involved.  We recently received an official cease and desist letter from them claiming we must take immediate acts to shut down and exterminate our production, dissemination, and distribution of this brand or the Federal government will enact punitive fines and/or seize control of our brewery.”

Crazy.
