Ozzy Osbourne Vs Beer

A US brewer has been prevented from continuing to sell a beer named Ozzy after Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne's legal representatives stepped in.

Baltimore firm The Brewer's Art had been distributing a pale ale featuring a logo which mimics the singer's "Ozzy" knuckle tattoo, while the can was adorned with images of bats - including some with their heads bitten off.

The Brewer's Art boss Tom Creegan has reported that he received a cease-and-desist order from Osbourne's representatives, and that the beer will no longer be sold.
