He has logged in today, so I’m sure he’ll finally call in here. I can’t access that page. Shucks.

I can’t fathom a connection. Well, crazy’s a given, aunt, can’t 100% sure but for example here that can be used as a somewhat derogatory yet relatively neutral term for someone who’s gay or acting feminised. Seems reasonable but I wonder why in Spanish? Why not Verrückte Tante? My wild guess would be that it’s a derogatory name the Spanish Republicans (or Nationalists for that matter) called Hitler but that still wouldn’t explain the connection to a Belgian-German wheat beer. One more question to ask Christian. Here’s the explanation to the name: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=da&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fbeerticker.dk%2Fny-oel-beer-here-tia-loca-3117%2F&sl=da&tl=en&history_state0= More: http://www.beerhere.dk/beers.aspx It seems I am guilty of extreme over-analysis (not for the first time). Thanks for the info. Anyway will have to get up to Denmark to try this one.

Message hopscotch beers 11919 º places 307 º 16:00 Fri 6/26/2009 I’ll play along. Hitler on a label? Ok, Jesus on a pogo stick.

Message rane beers 1325 º places 5 º 17:11 Fri 6/26/2009 Originally posted by beastiefan2k But with free speech comes responsibility. Well that´s a huge subject of discussion in Denmark. Some seems to think, that freedom of speech is freedom of speech. Personally I don´t really know what to say about that argument, isn´t it allowed to use your head as well ? But it´s probably the reason why the beer hasn´t been questioned in Denmark. We are kind of used to the extremes.

Message NosirIwont beers 3755 º places 15 º 18:01 Fri 6/26/2009 hmm, speaking of war mongering germans, what about the nutter on this beer?! - and that’s not even a charicature, but actually seems to celebrate him in some way.
Message DerWeg beers 2175 º places 48 º 18:53 Fri 6/26/2009 The Jesus Easter label was so low-brow, it’s more really stupid than offensive. What dwindling mass of brain-cells thought that was arty?
Message JK beers 7296 º places 442 º 19:30 Fri 6/26/2009 Its a cartoon Hitler. Just laugh about it. We should be able to laugh about these things, 70 years later. Hitler makes for good comedy.
