The same advertising campaign that stated that their beers were "like the Luftwaffe - downed all over England".

The campaign also claimed that "Rear gunners drink lager shandy". This tag-line upset certain sections of the community, who made an official complaint to the Advertising Standards Agency. The complaint was rejected with the ASA saying that "the complaints had been fuelled by "overzealous" political correctness".
