Naming our stout turns to threats
Finally, someone with an opinion speaks up… and threatens me with being a lonely old man if we choose my personal favorite, Last Stand, as the name for our stout. I got an email from an ex-friend with a simple subject line: “this is you.” The email read, “if you keep the name last stand.” Following this cryptic message was a link to yet another NYTimes article (apparently our fan base is well read), though this one didn’t so much address the subject of beer. No, this one was more about lonely single old men with scary design (marketing?) choices that frighten women. And apparently naming a beer “Last Stand Stout” is akin to keeping a baby stuffed seal in your apartment.
Ex-friend who will remain nameless unless she chooses to step forward, I salute your initiative. You’re wrong, but at least you have taken a stand. And for future reference, don’t mess with Texas.

ok, I voted for lumberjack. but here is the image.
Behind the text stand a cartoon piece of lumber and he is jacked. so this piece of lumber is jack and has large bubbly muscles extending from his trunk-body.

I still stand by my choice - Dirty Beard. If that’s not what you choose…well I already demonstrated what will happen. (see above article)
