Unintended “side effects” force LCBO to recall Henderson Brewery’s “Rush” beer from shelves.
Ontario’s LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) announced yesterday that due to widespread customer feedback that the over consumption of Henderson Brewing’s new “Rush” beer, named after the iconic Canadian hard rock trio, led the almost entirely male consumer base to quote Ayn Rand in an unusually ethereal falsetto, air drum with a newfound and inexplicable virtuosity, and show up for work draped in dragon print silk kimono robes, the crown corporation would temporarily be pulling the product from its shelves pending further investigation.
“While no one is disputing Henderson’s claim that the 2021 beverage offers both a ‘deliciously and unnecessarily complicated blend of hops, yeast and spring water,’” said LCBO spokesperson Marissa Rosenthal on Monday, “the internal struggle that drinking this beverage created between a newfound love of trees and a desire to move to a neighboring subdivision was simply too much for some.”
No word yet if a similar fate awaits Henderson’s forthcoming line of Saga Grapefruit Radlers or its Max Webster Cider.
