Jesus Offends With Wine

Man sues brewery over its perceived insult to Hindus

BRENTWOOD – A San Francisco Bay Area man has sued a Humboldt County-based brewery, claiming the beer label depicting a Hindu god holding a beer has offended him and Hindus worldwide.

The label on bottles of Lost Coast Brewery beer intimidates Hindus from practicing their religion, according to Brij Dhir, a Golden Gate University law student and attorney licensed in India.

Lost Coast owners are considering changing the label.
