Chinga Tu Pelo beer
In June 2015, 5 Rabbit Brewery announced that it would cease doing business with Donald Trump because of his statements about Mexican immigrants.[12] The brewery had brewed a batch of beer especially for a bar in Trump Tower Chicago. They ceased shipping the beer to the bar, and stated that the beer would be renamed to Chinga Tu Pelo (English: Fuck Your Hair), in an apparent reference to Trump's hair.[13][14][15] A few days after that, Gino's East purchased that batch of beer from the brewery.[16]
