Nobby's Ha'p'ny Ginger Dip

Ha'p'ny Ginger Dip by Nobby's Brewery.

Thanks to @alcohofrolicchap for this truly execrable pumpclip image.

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

Skinner's Brewery - "Ginger Tosser"

Here's an abomination from Skinner's Brewery – "Ginger Tosser".

Curiously, it would easy to conclude that some ginger had been tossed in the brew but, no, it's "made with Cornish honey."

Curioser, the cartoon chap appears to be wielding a frying pan. Presumably this is to suggest the tossing of pancakes.

What a fucking mess.

About this Blog

A straw has broken the camel's back.

We have several bones to pick with the world of cask ale – cringe-inducing beer names, woeful artwork and generally execrable branding.

Why, when there is the continual background murmur "we want more people to try cask ale", do brewers keep giving their beers cringeingly bad, wince-inducing names and wilfully amateurish artwork?

It must stop!

Only by naming and shaming the culprits can we improve the presentation of cask ale.

This is how it works: when you come across a bad pumpclip (name or image or both) take a pic with your mobile and upload it!

Email your picture as a jpg attachment to pumpclip.parade@googlemail.com . You can add your own text too – tell us what you think. Your email won't be published immediately as we'll need to filter out spam and high-spirited pranksterism.

Just for the record, the straw that has broken the camel's back is "Dognobbler" – hang your heads in shame Wylam Brewery.
