Flying Dog brewery is banned from selling one of its beers in North Carolina after alcohol regulators determined the beer’s label is “in bad taste” in an apparent First Amendment violation.

Flying Dog CEO Jim Caruso said the North Carolina Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Board’s decision violates the United States Constitution, The News & Observer reported. The Board’s decision to ban the sale of the brewery’s Freezin’ Season Winter Ale is a violation of the First Amendment, Caruso said.

Craft CRM shared an image of the banned beer on Twitter, writing, “Great name for a Winter Ale – Alcohol regulators in North Carolina have banned Flying Dog brewery from selling one of its beers in the state due to a label that’s been deemed ‘in bad taste.'”
