Brewery apologizes to Indians for its ‘Gandhi-Bot’ beer – A Connecticut brewery apologized to Indians offended that the company is using Mohandas Gandhi’s name and likeness on one of its beers. New England Brewing Company sells an India pale ale it calls Gandhi-Bot.
The label features a cartoon image depicting a robot version of the late Indian leader, who favored prohibition.
The Woodbridge-based company wrote over the weekend on its Facebook page, “We apologize to any Indian people that find our Gandhi-Bot label offensive. Our intent is not to offend anyone but rather pay homage and celebrate a man who we respect greatly.”
