It is likely to heighten Fucking’s fame, which is something Meindl, the town’s mayor, isn’t happy about, given the trouble the name has caused it over the years. “Twelve or 13 town signs have been stolen. We’ve taken to fixing them with concrete, welding and rivets.”

The Bavarian towns of Kissing and Petting have the same problem, as does the eastern German town of Pissing. But so far, there are no plans to name a beer after them.

There’s a little brouhaha over plans to brew a beer called Fucking Hell in Germany. However, they got the go ahead. The first bottles of Fucking Hell (which apparently means light ale brewed in the Austrian town of Fucking but who’s counting?) should be available this winter in Germany. Gotta import some of those!
