Stephen Harper's Ministry of Truth.

Love it!

The Obama Administration's Department of Sensible Fiscal Policy...
The Fox Network's Theatrical Shakespeare Department...
Death Row Records Department of Women's Rights...

...on and on...LOL!

Give Tom the monkey some wings and you might have a new brewery mascot there!

It would be worth the wait, to me at least, if the beer was submitted to the LCBO again rather than to the Brewers Retail. Especially if it meant seeing that packaging out on the floor.

Dead serious. Screw the listing fee to put your products on the shelf of a retailer owned by your competitors. Resubmit it to the LCBO with this packaging. I'd piss myself laughing every time I bought it.

Change the eyes on the monkey though, he looks drunk to me.

I do think it's time for Ontario's own Nanny State. Though I'm sure ours would get much better reviews

It would get rejected because the monkey would be seen as appealing to children. Can't have that.

Brilliant herrorara! Even if FM re-released as "SR tom IPA" with a simple black&white label it would be fantastic.

Nope. Can't be it. We'll just blanketly make shit up, but there is no way the common sense reason is actually the reason!

Seriously, this sucks. I am going to find out who is on the SR committee and post their information here for all to see. I've had enough.

Good idea, Len.....

Brilliant...I kinda dig the low-tech design.

Truthfully, we are were disappointed that LCBO fullfilled our expectations. We were hoping that they would support the craft movement. We all feel a little censored. Not to mention the amount of money invested in the brand.....
