PUBIC APOLOGY
A Canadian brewery has apologised for naming one of its beers after the Maori term for “pubic hair”, and not “feather” as it had intended, CBC reported.
Hell’s Basement Brewery in Alberta province launched its Huruhuru (The Feather) New Zealand pale ale two years ago, using the Maori term they believed meant feather to reflect its light citrus taste for a summer brew.
But earlier this week former Maori TV personality Te Hamua Nikora posted a Facebook video to explain “huruhuru” was more commonly used in Te Reo Maori to refer to pubic hair.
