Australia doesn't fancy a Shag
 
Australia doesn't fancy a Shag

Australia wants to ban a British entrepreneur from naming a beer Shag.
Advertisements feature a bottle of the beer on the backseat of a car and the catchphrase: "Fancy a Shag?"
Mr Ball insists the beer is named after the bird of the same name but New South Wales government minister Grant McBride is not convinced.
Does that mean we won't be able to get any of these either...

Anyone else miss the silly beer names of the UK?

"The common Cormorant or Shag
Lays eggs inside a paper bag.
The reason, you will see no doubt,
Is to keep the lightning out..........."

(Written by Lewis Carroll, I think. Don't know why but its stuck in my mind since I was about 8...........)

Bet it would be a different kettle of fish if it was called "root" beer...

My Tea Mug advertised the Beer - Dogs Bollox - gets a few dirty looks. The Shag beer getting a nasty reception makes me laugh, next they will get so PC they will ban Coon!
