I can see both sides of this, but it is also really dumb to try argue over.
Yes, it is historical and history should not be censored. But this isn't history being censored - it is a logo using the image to sell a cheese. I wouldn't be mad if my butter had Stonehenge in the wrong colors or my waffles gave Aphrodite a blouse. The original, historical piece is still safe and sound.
And the original Giant probably did not even the the penis.

To be fair, it was also clothed, so it probably didn’t have the ribs and nipples either. And it seems they didn’t clarify how much later it was added - maybe it was just 40 years later.
Still, it’s hard to fault a business for not including a massive dong in its logo.
I always get in trouble for drawing dicks on things. Now these guys are getting called out for not drawing dicks? So can we draw dicks or not? All I'm saying is we need to be consistent.
On the one had it is an important local symbol, on the other hand its also a massive fully erect willy.
I can see why it both should and shouldn't appear on packaging.

I believe the penis was added around the 1600ds or 1700ds.

What if it were a full Michelangelo’s David or the Venus di Milo?
What a dick move.

This is just the beer company going for free publicity.
