Does your current brew fall short in the cuteness department?

Um, I can say this has ever been an issue for me...

Okay, this one falls in the "What has been seen cannot be unseen" department.  I never thought hello Kitty was cute and this really doesn't change my opinion.

A few other beer name ideas including kids toys came to mind while typing this but none of them fit with the TOS of this forum.

Cartoon-oriented beer.  And I thought dill pickle beer was a dumb idea. :o

I was expecting it to be loaded with Citra and Simcoe.


Although I never get the cat pee with those hops that so many others report.
It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

Looks like a new way InBev has discovered to get the "under age" market. For shame.
