HEMPEN ALE In 1997, Frederick Brewing caused significant controversy and press attention when it launched Hempen Ale, a creamy brown ale flavored with Hemp seeds and a label decorated with Japanese Maple leaves that bore a striking resemblance to Marijuana . The launch followed a two-year approval process involving the Food And Drug Administration , Drug Enforcement Administration and Bureau Of Alcohol, Tobacco And Firearms . The product was an instant commercial success and received awards at beer festivals. The company garnered further attention after it was reported by Drudge and US News And World Report that President Clinton was served Hempen Ale aboard Air Force One , despite US military rules prohibiting hemp consumption.
