Funny unless you are German of course
The Shepherd Neame Brewery in Kent launched “Spitfire” ale and enjoyed a good marketing run
from 1997-2005 with “themed” adverts – and it’s a good pint as well.
This was the brewery's advertising campaign in Kent, there were lots of complaints...but only from the
Germans.
You can still see the ADVERTS in the Shepherd Neame pubs in and around Kent..
(This was checked out - adverts true BUT no Germans complained. London Transport pulled the
posters from the Underground in case tourists were offended. Some complaints were received but a Judge
said they would not cause offence!)
