A bureau of the Treasury Department says the phrase not only alludes to marijuana but misleads consumers about the ingredients of Weed Ales, reports the Los Angeles Times. The 61-year old brewer faces big fines and sanctions but isn't budging. "This is ludicrous, bizarre, like meeting Big Brother face-to-face," said Vaune Dillmann, who says he's gotten more than a thousand letters, e-mails, and phone calls of support. He's also enlisted the help of his local congressman and Senator Barbara Boxer, who are trying to press regulators to lighten up. Read These Next Her blood isn't compatible with anyone else's.
