Brewery renames White Face beer after customers said it sounded ‘racist’

Name was taken from a medieval poem called The Names Of The Hare

(Moon Gazer)

A brewery has changed the name of its hare-inspired White Face beer after customers said it sounded a “bit racist”.

North Norfolk-based Moon Gazer Ale took the names of several of its beers, including White Face, from a medieval poem called The Names Of The Hare.

But as it began to sell its drinks further afield, some people did not know of the name’s origins.
