   A Seattle beer company is brewing up controversy with an anti-   
   police message on cans.   
      
   Michael Dempster — who owns Mirage Beer, which bills itself as a   
   “farmhouse-focused” Puget Sound brewery — released a hoppy IPA   
   in June called “Choosey Lover” that featured a stamp on the   
   bottom of cans that read, “ACAB means all cops,” KIRO reports.   
      
   The acronym, which stands for “All cops are bastards,” is   
   favored by some Antifa and Black Lives Matters protesters and   
   has recently appeared at anti-police brutality demonstrations   
   across the country — from Lower Manhattan to Portland, Oregon.   
      
   Dempster defended his anti-cop stance after getting some   
   blowback on social media, including by some who said they’d   
   never purchase his offerings again.   
      
   “I used the markings because I stand against institutional   
   racism, of which modern policing is a militarized arm,” Dempster   
   texted the station.   
      
   Anyone who disagrees with the stamped message should know that   
   Dempster didn’t create it with those in mind, he said.   
      
   “If it means someone won’t buy my beer anymore, good,” Dempster   
   wrote. “The beer was not created for them. I make my beer for   
   folks who are actively anti-racist, anti-Trump, anti-fascist and   
   pro-equality.”   
      
   The manager of Chuck’s Hop Shop in Seattle, meanwhile,   
   acknowledged that the ACAB acronym turned some heads with beer   
   buyers there.   
      
   “It was a thing,” Dylan Ziegler told the station. “People talked   
   about it.”   
      
   But the anti-cop message didn’t appear to impact sales of the   
   beer at Ziegler’s store, he said.   
      
   “I don’t think it hurt his sales at all,” Ziegler told KIRO. “I   
   believe that his message is right, and I’m proud of him for   
   taking a stand, honestly.”
