Kevin George Hughes must really dislike XXXX beer. The 49-year-old assaulted a man who was simply driving a corporate vehicle branded with the XXXX logo.

Crown prosecutor Matt Le Grand said Hughes, who pleaded guilty in the Ipswich District Court to common assault and was sentenced to three months' jail suspended for 12 months, was driving with a male friend when they spotted the XXXX van at a Redbank Plains Road intersection.

A bottle of XXXX Gold.

Mr Le Grand said the two men pulled up behind the vehicle and began shouting abuse while honking their horn before the pair pulled up next to the van, with Hughes shouting "XXXX is s**t" to the driver Troy Corbo.

Hughes then threw a half-full bottle of Tooheys Extra Dry into Corbo's open window, which struck the 27-year-old in the face.

Judge Greg Koppenol described Hughes' actions as "reckless behaviour", saying "if the vehicles had been travelling quickly at the time of the incident, it could have been a disastrous situation."
