The Beyonce inspired beer that will never be
Biëryoncé is now awaiting a new name after being served by the Queen B.
Lineup Brewing, a New York-based brewery has been forced to pull its latest celebrity inspired beer, following a cease-and-desist notice from team Beyonce. The German pilsner Biëryoncé featured artwork similar to her 2013 ‘Beyonce’ album.
Sadly, the woman herself just wasn't impressed. Launching earlier this month, Biëryoncé was the brewery’s first canned beer.
Owner Katarina Martinez said she was inspired after she missed one of Beyoncé’s concerts despite having tickets. Martinez told Pitchfork, “We’re disappointed she didn’t take it as a compliment, but oh well. It was fun while it lasted!”
