In an effort to combat discriminatory attitudes at the Great British Beer Festival, The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) has banned beers that feature sexist names or imagery. The event kicked off yesterday (Tue 6 Aug) and runs until Saturday at London’s Olympia.
Banned beers
The sale of a number of drinks has been banned by CAMRA, like those named Dizzy Blonde, Slack Alice, Leg-Spreader and Village Bike.
With over 1,000 beers, ciders and perries available at the festival, they’ve all been checked to make sure that they adhere to CAMRA’s charter and code of conduct.
A YouGov survey found that 68 per cent of female drinkers said they would be less likely to buy a beer if they saw an advertisement for it that they felt was sexist.

This year’s winner in the “Thin, Tasteless, Soulless, and Inoffensive” category was “Politically Correct Pale Ale” by Virtue Signal Breweries.
Justice has not been served until Freeper’s have had a chance to review the non-sexist names.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahaha! ! ! ! ! !
Hey Geoff - what should we name this one?
and have reviewed pictures of the women drinking them.
“A YouGov survey found that 68 per cent of female drinkers said they would be less likely to buy a beer if they saw an advertisement for it that they felt was sexist.”
So the 32% that would have been more likely will never have the opportunity....
Remember when we had fun on this planet?
If 73% of the market is male and as a beer brewer I’m competing against hundreds of other beers, I going to try to market to the 73% Sorry ladies, I gotta make a living. Buy you a beer?
Village Bike is sexist?
Okay, rename the beer
Chrome Trailer Hitch, then.
Don’t worry about the jihadist with the meat cleaver, or the snap sack wearing camel jockey in the ,metro
Would Petosky Brewing Company’s Horny Monk be considered sexist?
I think the “huge manatees” would probably be the ones offended. This PC crap needs to stop right now.
Next up, banning Colt 45 because it sounds like it’s an Assault Malt Liquor.
