LACROSSE, Wis. – At 5:03 p.m. the 608 Brewing Company announced it was sold out of its special Hot for Chancellor brew. The limited-time-only brew had been introduced at the 608 taproom only two days earlier as gesture of support for Joe Gow, the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse chancellor who was fired by the UW Board of Regents for performing at full mast in sex videos that went viral. Needless to say, the Hot for Chancellor beer was also a slap at the regents, whom Gow has called hypocrites and prudes.
How Now Gow? He’s thumps-up with 608 Brewing proprietors at the launch of the Hot for Chancellor label.
