As I hover over my half drunk beer, a tear rolls down my sad, sad, sad face. Or should that have been: As I hover half drunk over my beer????? Oh well.... Here's a toast to all of you beer drinking Hindu Hate Crimers.

A California man is suing a microbrewery for featuring an image of elephant-like Ganesh holding a couple beer bottles on the label of its brew, according to the Contra Costa Times.

Brij Dhir, a Golden Gate University law student and attorney licensed in India, calls the use of the Hindu diety for such purposes a “hate crime” and wants $1 billion in punitive damages on behalf of Hindus around the world.

The owners of Lost Coast Brewery say no offense was intended and are considering the label of their Indica India Pale Ale.
