Sun-Struck Beer

Wednesday May 14, 2008
Here in the US we still talk about the time a cigarette company bought a brewery. Sure, we’ve gotten over it but we still talk about it.

But this might top that. The Sun, a UK tabloid owned by that bastion of good taste Rupert Murdoch, has decided that they want to sell beer.

Really?

As Pete Brown points out in his blog the easy assumption is that since The Sun is known for light and tasteless journalism then their beer will be the same. Not that I’m assuming that.

At least if they spill any of their beer Sun readers will have a handy rag to mop it up with.
