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.

ShemAle was okay though
Have you ever watched Bar Rescue?
They created a beer for a bar in Dickson,
Tennessee and called it Swinging Dickson.
The draft beer tap handle looked like a
long pecker. Ah, America.
or the originator of the style...Ralph Steadman
> What’s a perrie?
Pear cider. I’ve had it a few times up in Canada. Tastes like a dry cider with some pear notes as I recall.
“Village Bike”
LOL, how British.
It’s a BEER festival. The Burro Urine Festival is in September.
I can't find a photo of the local billboard. The woman in this variation of the billboard can't hold a candle to the lady running locally. Provided for purposes of example only:
I'm amazed these are being used in 2019. They must work with the Un-Woke men in these parts.
Man, she’s a dead ringer for my
grand-daughter, if I had a grand-daughter.
...AND she likes beer. That’s the whole package, right there!
The only thing better than a hot chick...three hot chicks.
That beer was more hideous than the picture on the can.
I wish I’d kept the cans... Lol!!
The PC crap is not going to stop. It’s a cornerstone of the 1984 blueprint. Control the language (create new words, destroy old words) and you control all thought. What will the world be like when these words are banned? How will you think about these things if the words cease to exist? This is the very powerful cudgel that the leftists are using to destroy us.

* Parent
* Son and Daughter
* He and She

That’s the Best!
Picked up some Bitch Creek Beer in Wyoming...that will get a conversation going
Then I’m guessing neither will anyone be playing Frank Zappa’s “*ies and Beer.”
