Volume #2 - January 30th, 2006

Risqué Business
If you haven’t yet heard Legacy has gone national with its Hedonism carton controversy. It all started when a distributor in the Lancaster area, Beer Ink started wrapping our cases in plain brown paper.  Next, WGAL Lancaster picked up the story and it ran on the 1100 o’clock news on January 26.  Within the next 48 hours we appeared in numerous newspapers including the Lancaster, Harrisburg, and Allentown, editions after it went out over the A/P news wire.  CNN and Channel 3 News in Philadelphia also picked up the story.  We have gotten calls and e-mails from people as far away as California, Florida and England looking to purchase our product.   If you want to find out more, visit our website for direct media links to the story. 

Speaking of Hedonism Ale… the artist that created our now legendary Hedonism painting, Deric Hettinger will be exhibiting his artwork at the New York International Art Expo running March 2nd through March 4th. Congratulations Deric!
