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.

No IPA because that’s racist.
No Brown Ale, racist again.
No Dark Lager. No explanation required.
No Porter. A lot of porters were black.
No Pale Lager. White supremacy or something.
No Russian Imperial Stout. Elections, dontcha know.
No German Bock. Might be Nazi’s.
No Stout because they’re fat shaming.
No Flanders Red Ale. Stupid Flanders!
