There was a little stand with their magazine in ever since I can remember going in the pub in the village I grew up in, I had my first job there as potwasher at 16, worked behind the bar when I was back from uni. Always had one odd beer on the end (usually Theakstons XB, occasionally Youngs) and then the others were from Hampshire and the surrounding counties, usually: Badger (Dorset), King Alfred's (Hampshire) Sussex (unsurprisingly from Sussex) and Butts (Berkshire).
Now a shitty gastropub (they tried to chance the name and were very much denied, since it had been "The Swan" since at least 1172). Landlords leaving do was ace/carnage depending on your perspective.

We move down from Salford when I was a kid and Grandad didn't like southern beer, so that's why he brought his "Trent Mild" with him. Sure it was 2 odd percent. The odd times Ive seen it down south, didn't think it was much stronger......

Can’t be arsed to google for grim sexist imagery from betting and gaming firms. I doubt that ElizabethofYork could, either. But it was a ridiculous suggestion.

I'm arguing that no UK brewery I can think of is using such blatantly sexist imagery but if you've got some recent examples, you go right ahead and post them up here.
I played there when the tree was still up. Obviously, winning the match was a secondary objective to hitting the tree.
Back when duty was paid on Original Gravity the minimum cost was calculated on 1.030 (which gives around 3% ABV) so brewers didn't really go below that.

Very difficult to find cafes that don’t have Superbock/ Sagres possibly Crystal as their main beers tbh and despite inflation still cheap and cheerful . Superbock do the slightly better stout and they also do one in their Bohemia range, Sagres for me on the lager front.
I order some fancy craft stout from micro breweries in Lisbon/ Porto during the winter . 33cls are anywhere from 3.50 euros to 5 euros compared to the Superbock/ Sagres at 1.40/1.50 euros .

OK now I've had to Google it and Trent Mild was 2.7%

Some old boys I knew used to swear by Chester’s Mild which I’ve never had as it stopped being made in the early 1990s . That was supposed to be strong for a mildOK now I've had to Google it and Trent Mild was 2.7%

The booze industry has a humungous history of sexist advertising!
Why recent examples?
The BD pic that keeps getting posted here is 20-odd years old and they've said it was a mistake at the time.
Anyone who claims they're alone in this is a pud-pulling-whoopsie.

Got any dates for those example, Spymaster ? Whilst those are undoubtedly examples of genius marketing from (estimated) the 1950s through to the maybe 80s/90s, those were very different times for ad campaigns. It's not really fair to compare them to a recent ad campaign supposed to be from a more enlightened time. Allegedly.
