Skullsplitter - PC gone mad!

[matchmaker]

Piss simmering furiously

BEER

What next? Ban Old Peculiar in case we turn into dirty old perves?

[B.J.W]

That means an end to good old 'Bull Mastif Son of a bh' then.

[Motorrad]

They should just translate the name into Norse speak and the PC idiots wouldn't have a clue what it meant.

At 8.5% I bet Skullsplitter is quite an appropriate name!

For two reasons

[cloggy]

My pub recently had a beer called 'Ginger Tosser'.

[8Ace]

Do they stil make Cripplecock? That's a brilliant name.

[rpguk]

Nah, just a company trying (and suceeding) to get free publicity based on a non-story. The portman group don't have the power to ban the name of any drink do they?

Remember The Portman Group are the drinks manufacturers!

[FourWheelDrift]

Never going to happen, must a quiet news day or someone wanting some publicity.

BBC said:

The Portman Group told BBC Scotland a complaint was being investigated.

"A complaint", singular. That means they will be checking out the persons complaint as per their complaints procedure and guidelines before doing nothing about it except giving them the "Bishops Finger".

[dilbert]

But the reality is that the kids are already out on the rampage with their axes, and all they're drinking is Fosters and WKD milkshakes.

It's pretty clear to me that the whole sodding PC brigade are barking up the wrong tree here. It's not the label or the name. It's the very lax licencing laws, and kids with no purpose in life. If the PC brigade were to commit collectie suicide, then perhaps we could invest their wages in a future for the kids.

Ever tried it?

This is disgraceful, has the world gone mad? Next they'll be after the hot sauce manufacturers

Currently have a gallon of my cider creation I have affectionately named "Spaz Cider" undergoing secondary fermentation.

Why Spaz, well, it's going to be roughly 12%

As for Skull Splitter, so what, they should have Fosters up for Trades Descriptions selling piss as lager.

lightweight!

Have to laugh at the thought of these PC dicks getting into the world of REAL ALE and the names therein !!

Is London Pride going to make me gay !!

[Tim.s]

If they come after 'London Pride' then i'm kicking off.

'Multicultural and racial equality Pride' just wouldn't look right on the label.

[anonymous-user]

I drunk loads of that stuff at the Grampian beer festival many years ago and found myself up on stage with the band singing "Wild thing" to hundreds of drunken blokes with beards.

I think it should be banned.

No, but drinking Gaymers Cider might.

[TimJMS]

I object strongly to the name Portman Group.

Now all I can think of is getting trollied with friends on Port.

Ban them

No - they represent the major drinks manufacturers

Portman

Don't see Orkney Breweries in there...............possibly because they produce drinkable beer

Bugger - link doesn't work. Quick cut & paste


"The Portman Group's nine member companies represent every sector of drinks production and collectively account for approximately 60% of the UK alcohol market. They recognise that they have both a responsibility and a major business interest in reducing the harmful use of alcohol.

There's an ale at my drinking hole called an IPA Hop Devil. Quite appropriate considering it's 8.9%.

The most I've ever had of these is six in one night and that was one hell of a hangover the next day!!! Cracking drink though! :thumbup
