| Kalika Beer ... Gone But Not Forgotten |
..... prompted Hindu religious leaders to demand its removal and an apology
from Tollgate Breweries.
As usual in these times, the brewery had to scrap the beer. Other beers have suffered similar criticisms:
 |
| Cwtch Beer - Child Friendly? |
- Welsh brewery Tiny Rebel was forced to change its can design for Cwtch - which was selected as the Champion Beer of Britain at the Great British Beer Festival in 2015 - after it was deemed to be "too attractive" to children.
- Marble Brewery from Manchester was asked by Trading Standards to "reconsider" selling a beer called Pint in 500ml cans.
 |
| Top Totty - Not Acceptable |
- Top Totty, a blonde beer brewed by Staffordshire-based Slater's Ales, was removed from one of the pubs in Parliament after Labour Party shadow equalities minister Kate Green complained over its "offensive" pump clip.
 |
| Sexist? |
- Scottish brewery BrewDog was criticised for brewing a "beer for girls" called Pink IPA to mark International Women's Day in March.
- Danish brewers Heineken was drawn into a political row in Argentina, after referring to the Falkland Islands as British ... which of course they are. 👌
