per ESPN:

Joe Paterno is one step closer to getting his own beer.

The Duquesne Brewing Company announced last month its intent to create a Vienna-style lager in honor of the late Penn State coach. And it unveiled the artwork and packaging of the 12-ounce cans Saturday:

OK, if it isn't bad enough that Latrobe is launching a beer dedicated to a pedophile enabler, they're putting a creepy drawing on the can. It looks like it was drawn by an art-school reject. If there's any justice in the world, the fact that this beer is made by the same folks that brought us Rolling Rock pretty much ensures it will suck. I wouldn't boil brats in this swill

Is this really Latrobe Brewing Co. (owned by AB InBev), or is it a microbrewery called Duquesne that happens to be located in Latrobe, PA?

This beer is brewed using the tears of molested children. Penn State fans should be ashamed to drink this.

They're all 'still' in a state of denial.

I always said absent another alternative, there is no beer I couldn't drink including Pigs Eye Lean. However, I can no longer make this claim. Pedophile State University brew just ruined everything. A sad day.

FoxSports: Joe Paterno legacy beer pre-selling like crazy, says brewery

Interest in a Paterno Legacy Series beer -- a Vienna-style lager created in tribute to the Penn State Nittany Lions coaching legend Joe Paterno -- has exceeded even the wildest expectations, according to the brewery that is producing it.

According to Duquesne Brewing Co., the outfit behind the new brew, pre-sales alone have accounted for more than 2,800 barrels already being sold. That's well beyond the belief that the initial run of 500 barrels would sell out by late September, and it would seem to have allayed any concerns there would be a backlash over how Paterno’s reputation was irreparably tarnished by the Jerry Sandusky scandal … at least in Pennsylvania.

Pittsburgh-area attorney Mark Dudash -- who relaunched the defunct Paterno Legacy Series lager in 2010 in a joint venture with the Paterno family -- works closely with Jay Paterno, Joe's son. Dudash says he cannot believe how brisk sales have been.

“I’ve never seen anything like this, and I’ve been in the beer industry a long time,” Dudash said, via a PennLive.com report. “It just doesn’t happen this easy. Something special is in the making. I just said to Jay, ‘There’s a guardian angel up in heaven somewhere.’ What’s going on right now, it just doesn’t happen. This thing is crazy.”
