Beer, Butts, and Breasts

The State of Maine has reversed its decision to block the sale of Santa's Butt Winter Porter, along with two beers with labels depicting bare-breasted women. The state attorney general's office determined that the company would likely win a lawsuit the ACLU filed on its behalf and that the beer labels were likely to be protected under the First Amendment. One of the labels at issue featured a reproduction of the painting "Liberty Leading the People" by Eugene Delacroix's.
