He has logged in today, so I’m sure he’ll finally call in here. One of the links (to beerhere.dk) doesn’t seem to work. But one little aspect seems to be overlooked, so far. I’m interested to see how amused the inheritors of Hergé are going to be...	6/26/2009 2:16:14 PM Post a reply Private message

premium shrubber85 2886:59	Originally posted by Papsoe Originally posted by shrubber85 Originally posted by Doggythedog Originally posted by shrubber85 So why would you call a beer Tia Loca (crazy aunt??) and then use Hitler on the label? 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=UT F-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fbeerticker.dk%2Fny-oel-beer-here-tia-loca-3117%2F&sl=d a&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.	6/26/2009 3:06:05 PM Post a reply Private message

premium rane 498:2	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.	6/26/2009 5:11:52 PM Post a reply Private message
premium NosirIwont 1168:2	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.	6/26/2009 6:01:35 PM Post a reply Private message
premium DerWeg 760:16	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?	6/26/2009 6:53:05 PM Post a reply Private message
