Sweet Baby Jesus! is a chocolate and peanut butter porter by the Baltimore-based DuClaw Brewing Co.
Heinen’s, a grocery store chain based in Cleveland, recently decided to stop selling the beer after customers complained that the name was "offensive."
Heinen’s began selling the porter two months ago.
Duclaw founder Dave Benfield said
“When you push boundaries and try to get one group excited about it, inevitably people are going to get upset on one side or the other,” . “The name’s not meant to be offensive, it’s not meant to be derogatory… “We liked the phrase [Sweet Baby Jesus!], which at least to us, is a phrase of excitement or astonishment.”Benfield said this is the first time the beer has been pulled from a chain of stores. Complaints about the name, however, are not new.
Benfield told reporters that the peanut butter porter has been removed from military bases in the past. But he noted that the beer often ends up being restocked after a few weeks.
"There's a lot more people who are upset they can't get it," Benfield said.
However, +Sweet Baby Jesus! beer can still be found in several stores in Ohio.

As a christian I found using the name of the lord Jesus Christ in such a manner but wait oh hope its not because Jesus Christ is on it that they consider it offensive?
Oyibo and their stupidity self. If its KIM K with her naked butt displayed on that
beer label now it wont be declared offensive. In fact it would turn a best seller

"Slow and steady wins the race"
God forgive them
This is highly offensive, I dont think they have respect for God...
Left to me, for a DECADE They will not sell ONE!!!!!
Of cos it is blasphemy.
They can't pull such a stunt on Muslims without having that shop burnt down and the manufacturer traced and... you know the rest.
Sometimes they should know when to set the boundary.
<< LIB Addict >>
They should try using Muhammad and see what happens....rubbish

Na wa o! So they look fore name to give their brand and they lack? Anyway! Animal in human's skin always show that they are animal! But I only pray for them that their head should be big enough to receive the rot of GOD.

That's highly offensive. Anti-Christ company. Better repent and give your life to Christ.
❤❤❤ THE PROPHETESS
WTH! The name is so offensive, if he means no harm, he should substitute the Jesus with Mohammed & see what happens. Linda take note!
Okiie, notice to all LIBERs. Didn't want to do dis before but I gex I just have to do it as a disclaimer. One idiot on dis blog stole my identity, my name & signage. So please any negative comments on dis blog is not coming from me but from the thief cos I would neva say anything bad about someone or wish anyone evil. So I have gone back to using my old pix & my email address is (julie3er@gmail.com). Linda take note!
Thank you! They shud have tried dat wit Mohammed n see if the whole town would have survived a night! That's why they take Christians for granted bcos they know what d bible does not condone violence!
Its offensive...you don't use jesus to name such things.
Thou shall not use the name of your God in vain! I don't care which denomination you guys belong to but certainly Jesus should be out of it biko!
I don't even know who is right and who is wrong here. Our mentality is tremendously odd from one another and yet we believe our own understanding surpasses the rest. May the Lord help us all
If the beer had said "sweet baby you-know-who" you know wetin for don dey happen.
hmmm
....end time is just close by.... have mercy dear LORD.
Juliet or watever,why bring muh'd here,are u mad or sometin,do u hav to mention him?the jesus shud remain there biko,for its u xtians tha consume alcohol,foolish fools
And they wonder why they are always attacked, they take everything to excess. This is beyond offensive, it is preposterous.
If d beer is that good then d producers should change its name. Which one is sweet baby Jesus like Jesus is edible!
My master Jesus has really suffered from some people hands .His name to even appeared in some people's bear
As a christian, I av Natin 2 say 2 demm except to ask 4 God's 4givness on demm
