BELLAIRE, MI - One of Michigan's most popular breweries is denying any involvement in the ongoing political scandal involving Hillary Clinton's emails.

In a clever parody post, Short's Brewing Company, which brews the popular flagship IPA Huma Lupa Licious, jokingly cleared its beer from the most recent controversy involving emails sent to Clinton from her aide Huma Abedin.

"The implication that Huma was involved in anything but tasting really good, is totally false," said Short's Brewing Co.'s CEO, Joe Short. "I totally see why Hillary picked Huma for her assistant though. Huma has assisted me for years, and I stand by it!"

The brewery also jokes that it has received thousands of emails and phone calls in the last week. All of them relating to Huma's (the beer's) involvement in the FBI investigation that led to the discovery of new emails potentially related to Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State.

Short's also went on to add that it is a bipartisan company, and prefers to stay politically neutral, although highly encourages everyone to actively and thoughtfully participate in our elections.

Obviously, the Bellaire-based brewery's famous IPA is in no way related to the Clinton/Abedin controversy, but it's certainly given plenty of fans of the beer a good laugh.

Huma Lupa Licious (7.7 percent ABV, 96 IBU) gets its name from the hop plant, Humulus lupulus. It is brewed with five different hop varieties: Centennial, Columbus, Chinook, Cascade and Palisade.
