Alberta brewery apologizes for misusing Maori language, naming beer 'pubic hair'
Whoops.
Quote:
An Alberta brewery has apologized for unknowingly naming their beer 'pubic hair,' after using a Maori word they thought meant feather.
Two years ago, Hell's Basement Brewery released Huruhuru (The Feather) New Zealand Hopped Pale Ale.
This week, Te Hamua Nikora, who is Maori, took to Facebook to explain 'huruhuru' actually means pubic hair in te reo, the language spoken by the Maori people.
Nikori called out the brewery and another shop in New Zealand for both using the word.
