'Car Bomb Stout' promotion blows up in brewery's face, by Annabelle Tometich, (The [Fort Myers, Fl] News-Press)
PUNTA GORDA, Fla. — What started as a St. Patrick's Day promotion turned into a $2,500 apology Tuesday from a Florida craft brewery.
Fat Point Brewing posted pictures of cupcakes and beer to its Facebook page at 2:05 p.m. ET Monday announcing the release of its Car Bomb Stout, "a milk stout fermented with Jameson Whiskey oak staves and Irish creme flavor," which was to be served with Car Bomb cupcakes in honor of the holiday.
But someone — obviously, not a history major — forgot about The Troubles, the nationalist and religious conflict in Northern Ireland that began in the late 1960s and ended in 1998 with the Belfast Agreement. More than 3,500 people died during the three decades of turmoil that included detonating car bombs.
