Question 1
Which artifact is explicitly modeled as a label rather than a container or transport object?
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Label, 1981
American Beer Can with Handle
Eigenbrot Brewing Co. Wooden Beer Case
Show answer & reasoning
Answer: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Label, 1981
The Sierra Nevada object is modeled as a graphic-design label; the other choices are package/transport objects.
Nuance: The game uses metadata and original analysis only. It does not reproduce or imply permission to reuse protected artwork, trademarks, trade dress, photos, or scans.
Evidence: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale label, 1981 · American Beer Can with Handle · Beer Case, Eigenbrot Brewing Co.
Question 2
Which statement best matches Beer Universe's material-culture rights rule?
An old or museum-cataloged artifact still needs item/use-specific rights review before reproducing artwork or scans.
Anything old enough to appear in a museum catalog is automatically free to reuse commercially.
Trademarked label art can always be copied if used in a game.
Show answer & reasoning
Answer: An old or museum-cataloged artifact still needs item/use-specific rights review before reproducing artwork or scans.
BEU separates historical/source authority from copyright, trademark, trade-dress, museum/archive, and reproduction rights.
Nuance: This is an internal rights-handling rule, not legal advice or a determination of public-domain status for every artifact.
Evidence: Bock — beer advertising poster, c.1891 · Sierra Nevada Pale Ale label, 1981
