Brewer has choice words for TTB authority
A Virginia brewery had to change some labels…
“According to [Martin], the misleading information was the word ‘porter’ in the banner,” Smack said. “The consumer is not going to see the ‘chocolate orange’ above ‘porter.’ They’re going to get it and be disappointed.” Smack said he understands Martin just has a job to do, but questioned the sense of having laws that govern beer label minutiae. “We are talking about stupid laws, that protect no one and are an absolute freaking waste of tax dollars,” Smack said.

Wow, so this beaurocrat has veto power on what style of beer is printed on the label, overiding the BREWER himself. Wow.
