Pub Features Controversial Dictator Themed Beers

The Coach & Horses pub in Billinghay, England, has gained notoriety for its cheekily named beers, including 'Osama Bin Lager' and 'Saddam's Stout', which are part of the popular 'Dictator' range crafted by Luke Mitchell of Mitchell Brewing Co. Despite the lighthearted intent behind the names, the pub faced backlash after a patron posted a now-deleted TikTok video criticizing the choices, claiming they were sexist. Luke Mitchell responded by emphasizing that the majority of customers enjoy the names and that they often spark laughter and conversation. The pub, run by Catherine Mitchell, features a mix of provocative and humorous names created collaboratively by the staff, many of whom are ex-military. Prices for the beers range from £3.20 to £4.10, with 'Osama Bin Lager' being the best seller. Overall, the controversial names have helped to elevate the brewery's profile, as the Mitchells seek to entertain rather than offend.
