Voluptuous Beer
A beer named Top Totty, which is advertised with a picture of a scantily-clad woman has been withdrawn from a Westminster bar after a Labour MP complained. Kate Green, an opposition MP responsible for equality issues, said she was "disturbed" to hear it was on sale in The Strangers' Bar, which is where politicians can bring guests.
A barman confirmed that an hour later the beer had been removed from sale, but added "We haven't had any complaints raised with our bar staff." During business questions on Thursday, Ms Green said she had only just learned of it, but felt it should be removed because it had "a picture of a nearly naked woman on the tap." She also called for a debate in the Commons on "dignity at work in Parliament."
Top Totty is described in one review on the Slater's website as "a stunning blonde beer full bodied with a voluptuous hop aroma."
Conservative MP Jeremy Lefroy, who organised for Top Totty to be sold in the bar, said: "These guest ale slots offer a very welcome opportunity for small independent breweries, like Slater's, to reach a wider audience with their products, some of which have cheeky names. However, I can understand that some people may take offence to the marketing, which I am sorry about."
UK Independence Party MP for Stafford, Mike Nattrass, branded Ms Green "a humourless sort."
"This sort of knee-jerk Puritanism does more to damage the cause of equality than a thousand beer labels," he said. "It suggests that to be in favour of equality you must be a dour-faced, insult-searching misery."
