Top Totty beer deemed far too fruity for House of Commons bar Tracey Crouch, the Conservative MP for Chatham and Aylesford, added: "Why is a beer called Top Totty offensive & now banned from Commons? Not as if it is called Middle-Ranking Totty? Should Top Totty beer have been banned? Kate Green, who speaks for the Labour Party on equality issues, originally lodged an official complaint about the beer with the leader of the House of Commons, Sir George Young. She later told MPs during questions in the Commons: "I was disturbed last night to learn that the guest beer in the Strangers" Bar is called Top Totty and there is a picture of a nearly naked woman on the tap." She called for a debate on "dignity at work in Parliament" and asked for Sir George's support in removing Top Totty "immediately" from sale. He assured her: "Action will be taken." Within 90 minutes, the beer had been withdrawn. The speed of response to Miss Green's complaint was hailed as the fastest political victory in history. The beer's removal came as a blow to the Tory MP Jeremy Lefroy, who had arranged for Top Totty to be sold in Strangers. "These guest ale slots offer a very welcome opportunity for small independent breweries, like Slater's, to reach a wider audience with their products, some of which have cheeky names," he said. However, I can understand that some people may take offence to the marketing, which I am sorry about. Sally Bercow, the wife of Commons" Speaker John, who last year posed in just a bedsheet for a magazine, took to Twitter to protest at the brew. Slater's brewery describes the ale as "a stunning blonde beer, full-bodied with a voluptuous hop aroma." The brewer was set up in 1995 by Ged Slater in the car park behind his Stafford pub, The George. Mr Slater's daughter-in-law Fay Slater, 33, defended the ale. "We're just a small family business and we don't want to go around offending anybody, but we do stand by the Top Totty pump clip," she said. It's just a bit of cheeky fun and there is nothing intended by it, but if somebody is seriously offended we would consider sending a different clip to publicans who ask for it. While the beer may not be flavour of the month in the Commons, the publicity is expected to boost sales elsewhere.
