The Brooklyn Paper, Tapped out! Hook brewery is ordered to stop making ‘Obama’ ale: “Federal agents have ordered a Red Hook brewery to stop making its popular ‘Hop Obama’ ale — a beer that was first brewed during the presidential campaign as a way of supporting the then-underdog candidate. The cease-and-desist order was issued by the Tax and Trade Bureau of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms on the grounds that Sixpoint Craft Ales did not have permission from to use the president’s likeness on the tasty, hop-heavy brew.”
