Asheville Brewery Has A Profanity-Filled Message For The North Carolina Bathroom Law

The Wedge Brewing Company out of Asheville has a little message for North Carolina lawmakers in regard to its controversial anti-LGBT bathroom law that forbids public schools from allowing transgender students to use the correct bathroom, for which it is currently being sued by the U.S. Justice Department for violating the Civil Rights Act. And that message is currently printed on the bottom of its Iron Rail IPA cans.

There are some mighty fine local beers, in the Asheville area. This one might just be extra tasty!

likely be drinking one of those in heaven.

That put the issue in front of people who vote for it with their wallet. Hard to get stronger support than that.

I bet the opponents just hate this one.

I love the North Carolina Mountains and waterfalls. I've driven there from my Chicagoland home many times for hiking & backpacking. Asheville is a bastion of free thought in a state governed by bible thumping hypocrites.

I have family in Mills River and they'd like me to move down to be closer, to them. I adore Asheville, that's for sure.

You can't drink that beer with no place to relieve yourself.


Men's restrooms are so gross anyway. How's a gal gonna use that urinal? The stalls have no door. Gag who is going to sit down on that to pee?

This has not been thought through very well.

They need family bathrooms like the 'Y' has mixed business like a dad with a 2 y/o girl to take to the potty in public.

Yep, mixed rooms.
