The Houston Press reported that the sign was quickly brought to the restaurants attention and taken down within 10 minutes, according to its manager, who identified himself as Kenneth. Everyone makes mistakes. We completely deserved the backlash, and I cant be mad at anyone but myself, Kenneth told the Press.

The 'joke' is that beer should be a domestic brand, not imported. Dumb, dumb, dumb...

And the potential customers of this restaurant are the most likely to be offended.

They've already apologized; in fact they apologized the very same day that the incident hit on FB here in Houston.
Outrage isn't really called for right now.

"beer should be like domestic violence" which made no sense.
Read correctly the guy is a moron.
