Hamilton bar's Coronavirus beer promotion strikes a sour note

From Morning Report, 7:50 am on 31 January 2020

A Hamilton bar has been accused of cashing-in on a crisis by the Race Relations Commissioner.

The House on Hood Bar advertised discount Corona beers for as long as the Coronavirus outbreak lasts.

They've since taken down the advert and limited the discounted beer until the end of summer. 

They've got a new ad saying; "There are worse things you can catch in Hamilton."

John Laurenson owns House on Hood and told Morning Report producer Jeremy Wilkinson there were some aspects of the marketing he regretted, but for the most part it had been received well.
