Apparently a Dorset Knob is a type of biscuit.

Shep's "Bottle of Britain" campaign - an update

In the early days of Pumpclip Parade we featured the ghastly and deeply unfunny "Bottle of Britain" advertising campaign by Shepherd Neame. You can find the original post here.

There was some debate at the time as to whether or not the images were actually published.

While busy procrastinating recently I Googled "Shepherd Neame Bottle of Britain."

I found that Shep's are still using "Bottle of Britain." For £5 you can buy a book of the images from the campaign.

Also, in 2001 the Advertising Standards Authority found the campaign was "unlikely to cause offence."

Christmas Turkeys

"Nervous Turkey" by Ossett Brewery, and "Mr Sno'balls" by Harviestoun.

Thanks to James Hunt at the Twin Farms pub in Newcastle.

Thanks to @alcohofrolicchap for this truly execrable pumpclip image. 

Apparently its image is printed in Leicester CAMRA Beer Festival's Programme. 

C'mon Engerland! World Cup Football "Fun" with Pumpclip Parade

Thanks to Stoph McBride and Dave "Hardknott" Bailey for their commitment to atrocity-spotting.

And thank you very bloody much to Andy Mogg for making me go into Netto for the "Back of the Netto" pic.

Dog Piss?

Would you name your proudly crafted beer "Dog Piss"?

Would you want to drink a beer called "Dog Piss"?

Guilty as charged: bringing beer into disrepute. Send them down.

Not sure what the brewery is. If anyone knows please comment so I can name and shame.

Wychwood Brewery - "The Dog's Bollocks"

Nothing screams quality beer more than a bollocks reference. eve comes with the catchy warning......may contain nuts - Kirsty McKready.
