Apparently the last thing you want to do is mess with Beyoncé. And the second last thing you want to do is name a beer after her.
A Brooklyn brewery was given a cease and desist letter recently to stop producing a Beyonce-inspired beer.
Brooklyn's Lineup Brewing was selling Bïeryoncé - an German style beer that originated in October 2016 and returned this year after popular demand wanted more of it.

Lineup Brewing is a female-owned and operated business, and for Bïeryoncé it used cover art similar to Grammy-award winner's 2013 self-titled album.
According to Bon Appétit, the beverage was dedicated to Beyoncé and was brewed during a performance of hers that owner Katarina Martinez missed.
"As a Hispanic, female run business, I am very inspired by her so I thought I'd pay homage," she told Pitchfork. "We're disappointed she didn't take it as a compliment, but oh well. It was fun while it lasted!"
The one time batch is still available until supplies last. So the next time you want to honor the Queen Bee, you might have to ask her yourself (good luck).
