1. I think they were going for calling the KKK cowards.

Nice idea but I think they missed the mark.

3. i agree. they made the packaging look like someone

in kkk hood & robe with the words "yellow belly"

from the link:
“Yellow Belly—a person who is without courage, fortitude, or nerve; a coward,” reads the message about the beer. “To us, one of the most cowardly deeds is to act anonymously, hiding behind a group. A signifying trait of institutionalized racism. "

so the design and resemblance is completely intentional as their implication is: kkk members are cowards (or yellow bellies)

2. lol, we have a full case of this ageing for over 2 years now, Omnipollo is virulently ANTI RACIST

and I mean hyperactively so here in Sweden against racism and neo nazis, they have done collab fundraisers with Expo (the largest anti-racist magazine and foundation in Sweden). You might have heard of Expos's found, a little (only around 100 million books sold, lol) author named ............. Stieg Larsson (I suppose I should add yes, that Stieg, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, etc etc).

Yellow Belly Stout has been around since 2014
