Beer Banned in US over Santa Logo

A Christmas beer brewed in Oxfordshire has been banned in parts of the United States because it has a picture of Father Christmas on the label.

Officials in the state of New York told English brewers Ridgeway Brewing that the image on bottles of Santa's Butt could encourage under-age drinking.
The beer, a 6% winter porter, is brewed in South Stoke for the US market.
The ban was challenged by the beer's American importer and lifted, but has now been imposed in the state of Maine.

Peter Scholey, of Ridgeway Brewing, called the decision "ridiculous".
