Canadian brewery apologizes for cultural misappropriation

PUBIC HAIR...IT'S NOT JUST FOR DESSERT ANYMORE



A Canadian brewery has apologised for unwittingly naming one of its beers after a Maori word that is commonly used to mean pubic hair.  

Hell's Basement Brewery in Alberta said it released its Huruhuru pale ale two years ago, thinking it meant "feather".



But Maori TV personality Te Hamua Nikora pointed out the common interpretation of the word in a Facebook video.  The brewery's founder said the product would now be rebranded.



"We acknowledge that we did not consider the commonplace use of the term huruhuru as a reference to pubic hair, and that consultation with a Maori representative would have been a better reference than online dictionaries," Mike Patriquin told Canadian network CBC.

They should just change it to Pubic Hair beer... I'd buy it.

Yeah, everybody needs a little pubic hair in their diet, and that'd be a good way for you to get some.

Retarded beer names have been the rage for decades...

Must be a local micro brewery. I've never heard of it.
