A Southern California-based craft brewery has been slammed for promoting their newly launched six-pack with boobs via "Got cans?" campaign.

The Facebook post by Mother Earth Brew Co. reads "Since the dawn of humanity we have been sustained by nourishment from our mothers. But never has such nourishment been so convenient and publicly acceptable. Love your cans. Love your Mother," Fox News reported.

The craft brewery is accused of sexism and also some people find it tongue in cheek way to refer the breast feeding movement.

One online user wrote "Aaaaaaand that's the last Mother Earth I ever drink, while another wrote that it was an impassioned post that shamed Mother Earth for being "out of touch with its female clientele" and asked guys to think before defending the ad.
