Monks angry at beer campaign

Image via Wikipedia

Monks and nuns in Lithuania have forced a brewery to withdraw what they call an insulting poster ad that features a Franciscan brother holding up a glass of beer. Lithuania's conference of monks and nuns said they felt "insulted and trampled upon" by the advertisement. The brewery apologized and said it would stop the advertisement immediately. I guess they have forgotten all of the religious orders that produced some monumental drinks i.e. Dom Perignon.
