Noose picture on brewery‘s ‘Hanging Oak‘ beer can sparks controversy


A Nova Scotia brewery‘s decision to use the image of a tree and a noose on one of its product‘s cans is being denounced as racist by some critics on social media sites.

The beverage is a red IPA called Hanging Oak, one of four ales produced by Tusket Falls Brewing Company.

Halifax teacher Ben Sichel says the image of the noose hanging from the oak evokes lynchings and is offensive.
