Politic-ale

Satirical tasting notesServed in protest

The British pub is the last honest parliament. These are the beers the regulars would brew — if the regulars were allowed anywhere near the taps.

The Cellar

7 ales on tap
  1. 01

    Nigel Farage

    onSovereignty

    It's warm, bitter, wildly overpriced, and after six years the bloke who ordered it still insists the terrible taste is someone else's fault.

  2. 02

    Donald Trump

    onThe Greatest Pint in History

    It's 90% foam, tastes vaguely of bankruptcy, and when the glass arrives half-empty, he insists millions of illegal bubbles stole the rest.

  3. 03

    JD Vance

    onWorking-Class Ale

    He took one sip, called it 'the voice of forgotten America,' then looked at Trump to check whether he was allowed to swallow.

  4. 04

    Margaret Thatcher

    onA Round for the Working Class

    She ordered a round for the working class, sold the pub to her mates, closed the brewery, sacked the barman, then blamed the miners for everyone being thirsty.

  5. 05

    Jacob Rees-Mogg

    onTraditional British Ale

    He tried brewing a traditional British ale but fell asleep halfway through. By the time he woke up, the brewery had closed, the workers were redundant, and he'd somehow made £3 million quid.

  6. 06

    Vladimir Putin

    onSpecial Brewing Operation

    It invaded the next glass, annexed the beer mat, and anyone who gave it one star mysteriously vanished from the beer garden.

  7. 07

    Chain House Brewery

    onThe Unnamed Ale

    An ale so good, even Nigel Farage stopped blaming foreigners and blamed himself for not ordering two.
