Naming beer after N.J. Turnpike exits irks authority, MADD Naming beer after N.J. Turnpike exits irks authority, MADD Quote: CHERRY HILL, N.J. — A New Jersey brewery is using the state's congested and often-derided turnpike to promote its beer, an idea that concerns the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and a group that opposes drinking and driving. Cherry Hill-based Flying Fish Brewing Co. (motto: "Proudly Brewed in New Jersey: You Got a Problem with That?") has undertaken an ambitious project of releasing a special beer in honor of turnpike exits, one at a time. more here>> Naming beer after N.J.

As a marketing concept I think it's a great idea. However, I can see why M.A.D.D. would be upset. As long as there is a disclaimer stating that the New Jersey Turnpike Authority has nothing to do with this product I don't see a problem. Then again people who drink and drive, will do so no matter what the beverage is called. Frankly, I don't understand why states like Georgia sell beer at gas stations and CVS. To me selling beer at a gas station is what really encourages drunk driving.

people that drink and drive will do no matter WHERE they buy it. the closer to the house those fools can buy it the better IMO __________________ tip for new truckers: to err is human, to forgive is not D.O.T. policy.
