British Beer Not Beard Festival
As the Great British Beer Festival opened Tuesday in Earls Court London, the Guardian's Hugh Muir reports that members of the Beard Liberation group are upset.
They claim British media are prone to illustrate their coverage of the beer festival by showing images of big men, beer drinkers, with large beards.
Keith Flett of the Beard Liberation group told Muir: "A frequently used stereotypical picture used to illustrate stories about the beer festival consists of one or two very large men with beards holding a half full pint glass, but such images at the festival itself are in practice rare. There are excellent beards at Earls Court of course but the idea is to celebrate the diversity of beers."
