I disagree. I think it's taking the piss and rather insensitive given the fact that original Coldharbour beer was all about charity. It's an opinion that was echoed by many locals on FB, btw.I like that label, all their labels actually, and I think that the Barrier Block lines are fair game. Most people won't notice it.
I don't think I would like the beer though. Is there some form of orange flavouring to it?
Fair enough. I haven't put in the effort that you have so am not as qualified to comment.I disagree. I think it's taking the piss and rather insensitive given the fact that original Coldharbour beer was all about charity. It's an opinion that was echoed by many locals on FB, btw.
Had to LOL at this listing though, which makes their Heineken connection very bold :

In 2013, Heineken CEO Jean-François van Boxmeer described Africa as “the international business world’s best kept secret”. Heineken faces so little competition that in some African countries one small bottle of beer is no cheaper – or sometimes even more expensive – than in Europe, while production costs are lower. According to Heineken’s most recent available figures (2014), beer in Africa is almost 50% more profitable than anywhere else. Some markets, such as Nigeria, are among the most lucrative in the world.
In this thoroughly researched and reported book, van Beemen paints a damning portrait of a corporation with a long history of tax evasion, sexual abuse, human rights violations, and high-level corruption across Africa. He also documents how the beer manufacturer has managed to not only obfuscate its dark record, but somehow portray itself as helping develop the continent through job creation, and charity through its Heineken Africa Foundation.
