World of Beer, an eatery in West Hartford’s Blue Back Square, has pulled an expensive beer cloaked in a Ku Klux Klan-like covering from its shelves in response to a social media backlash when a Black man and his white friend were presented last week with the bottle.
Responding to a negative review that included a social media post about an incident in West Hartford, World of Beer said Monday: “We have pulled this beer from further sale. Please accept our apologies for the lapse in judgment in serving. While we can’t speak for the intent of the brewer, the visual representation does not have a place at our establishment.
