About that registered brands list: It’s still useless
In the wake of the Great Philly Beer Raid Fiasco, brewers and importers have been hustling to add brands to the PLCB’s vaunted list of Registered Malt or Brewed Beverage Brands. By my count, 134 brands have been added to the list since the bust.
I had to laugh this morning when one local bar owner gave me the heads up on one of the latest to be added:
OUD BEERSEL DUDE GEUZE ALE
Dude! Someone stole my gueuze!
For the record, the correctly spelled name on the label is Oud Beersel Oude Geuze Vieille. The brewery just calls it “Old Geuze” - “oude” and “vielle” are simply Flemish and French for “old” or “aged.” (Not that the state liquor cops give a shit.)
