While there have been some complaints about the pricing of Heineken at the London Olympics this is the first I’ve heard of a protest of the actual beer choice itself. This from FoxSports:
Greg Mulholland, the chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Save the Pub Group, introduced a motion in British Parliament that condemns the Olympic Committee for choosing Heineken as the Summer Games’ official beer.
Mulholland contends that a beer brewed in the United Kingdom — or at least representing the high taste of British pubgoers — be used over the Dutch import.
