Santa’s Butt
Mon, Dec 4th, 2006
Around the holidays everyone wants a piece of Santa. But in some recent news it seems a beer brewer was thrown on it’s backside for creating a beer with some contention. The Shelton Brothers are no strangers to controversy and they seem to like the continued attention. Just last year they had problems with its “Seriously Bad Elf” ale. “Santa’s Butt” beer was inspired by this famous line from a well-loved children’s story book:
And Santa sat on his great butt, drinking a hearty brew.
As silly as it sounds, and it does sound silly, a butt can also refer to a large 126 gallons (about 477 liters) cask. That’s a whole lot of beer to drink standing up.
Update: As of Jan 5 2007, it seems that Santa’s Butt is fine!
