One Brooklyn brewer will no longer be keeping her customers "Drunk in Love" with her Beyoncé-themed beer.
Katarina Martinez owns Lineup Brewing and recently paid homage to the pop star by launching a new pilsner dubbed Bïeryoncé last month — but Queen Bey has shut it down with a cease and desist letter.
Martinez told Pitchfork that she was inspired to cook up the Bey brew after she missed one of the singer's concerts.
"As a Hispanic, female run business, I am very inspired by her so I thought I'd pay homage," she said. "We're disappointed she didn't take it as a compliment, but oh well. It was fun while it lasted!"
The now only one-time batch is available from the Brooklyn-based brewery while supplies last.
Let this serve as a lesson to any aspiring Lemonade stand operators.
Luckily, superfans can get their Bey fix with the singer's latest line of authorized merch.
