That rather depends on which definition of sexist one uses, if this beer name is sexist then I guess our return to the days when young gels were delicate flowers who needed to be protected from the beastliness of the male has surely arrived. In this context sexist would be anything unfit to be spoken in "mixed company". The next step may be full-on Victorian prudery given the current level of puritanism, and the pervasiveness of illiberal and intolerant ideas.
Probably more puerile than sexist - I find beers with double entendre names a bit tedious, with names like Betty Swollocks.
The Jolly Farmers typically has beers from the Two Cocks brewery - it's a gay pub...

Is it freedom of speech to call a drink what you want allowed, or interpretation of how one perceives the name it's been given. PC bonkers in my mind. I drink lager so what do I know when they give a drink with a normal name but I would never be offended or think a name shouldn't be allowed. As mentioned play on words etc makes it a topic but if you want to eradicate sexist words maybe get the OED to remove them from the dictionary.

Mrs Ale here - I think these names are just a bit of harmless fun and I've never been offended by any of them. Isn't life serious enough??

Well if their aim was to appeal to Guardian opinion writers, they're at least succeeding on that front:

To be honest, I can't recall ever laughing at novelty beer names and I do find CAMRAs image a bit too Top Gear at times. But pointless fun killing blanket bans and BBC style inclusivity quotas ? Not really a direction I am keen for them to head for.
I agree with you about this. I was in a Robinson's pub this week who produce one of the "offenders" Dizzy Blonde. The latest pump clip and drip mats show the nose of a single propeller airplane with a 1940s female face painted on the side. Older drip mats were also in use and they had showed the "offensive" image. How can people get in such a froth over this when the likes of Trump & Johnson get away with some of the things they come out with?
