One Million Beers For Metal

From the “hilar­i­ous but true” files, a Ger­man brew­ery has won the trade­mark to mar­ket a beer called “Fuck­ing Hell”. But get your mind out of the gut­ter — ‘hell’ is a Ger­man term that can mean“light ale” and “Fuck­ing” is the name of a small town in Aus­tria that goes through a lot of town name signs. See? It’s all per­fectly innocent.

The peo­ple of Fuck­ing – pro­nounced “fook­ing” in Ger­man, much like it is in the North of Eng­land – are less than impressed. There’s only 90 or so of them, and they’ve had the name for 800 years. From the Aus­trian Times:

Franz Meindl, the People’s Party (ÖVP) mayor of Fuck­ing, reacted say­ing: “We just want to be left alone. There are all these sto­ries about our town’s name all the time – espe­cially in sum­mer. Every­body writes what they want.”

I don’t know when the beer is going into pro­duc­tion or where it’s going to be avail­able, but that’s gotta be the most metal beer I’ve ever heard of. Some­one send in a pic­ture, please!
