    Maybe not technically a bug, but it would be better if ampersands mapped to the word "and" for search purposes. As it stands, a search for "Life and Limb" or "Pot and Kettle" does not return either beer because they use ampersands in place of "and." Heck, the labels for Life & Limb use "and" instead of &.

    We ran into this before you posted. A better solution would be to ignore the "and" vs. changing the styling. We'll look into it. Thanks.

    It's now ignoring "and" and ampersands. Give it a try.
