BrewDog: yet another hip company using 'rebel' language to sell its stuff

[Flavour]

This thread really backs up the idea that as people get older they get more right wing. Fucking state of urban discussing pension plan investment options and dividends on a thread about a shitty company

 

[Spymaster]

OK...deep breath...I have a confession; I'm drinking some BD right now.

Unbeknownst to me Mrs B put a (heavily reduced) box of 12 cans of "Lost Lager" into the delivery the other day. It was nice of her to think of me & all that...but by christ, what utter fucking piss water.

Sweet, sickly and weak; what's to like?

Apologies to anyone (justifiably) offended by this post.

4.7 is not particularly weak.

What do you normally drink?

I've never had a Brewdog beer I didn't like. People need to try it and buy more

The stats I have seen, going up to mid-2021 suggest that between 21% and 33% of people in the UK own or have owned stocks/shares. I can't vouch for their veracity but they came from companies selling financial products or investment opportunities.

You'll never guess what your pension consists of

My friend had a can of tactical nuclear penguin which is 32% last Christmas and apparently woke up several hours later with no knowledge of what happened

That couple of pages has proper made me laugh...and cheered me up about the remaining 11 cans.

Sorry, I don't respond to intemperate sneering from posters I've never heard of with fewer than 400 points under their belt

It's not right wing to have a pension.

No, they really don't.

 

[Spymaster]

No, they really don't.

Agreed.

I've never had a BD beer that I did like, and have given up trying.

 

[Saul Goodman]

Agreed.

I've tried a few now (thanks to this thread) and they were all crap.

Nah, that's actual politics. This is a twats/not twats thread.

Just discovered Hazy Jane & love it. Had a French beer called Chou last year and it reminds me of that - Really citrussy & refreshing

The Punk IPA is the go to choice (£3.20) if the Shipyard is off (£2.59) and none of the guest ales are in any way appealing in my local 'spoons.
I have a pension and buy stuff from Amazon.

"for my (physical) health" Mrs B is strongly suggesting that I alternate between the 1698s & the Nun's. Recently I've ordered some Abbot Reserves to boost the Nun's shelf and she hasn't yet read the label to see that they're 6.5 as well!

I've never understood why anyone would actually want their beer to taste citrussy.

It's modern guffery promoted by "craft" breweries, probably part of a countrywide conspiracy to inflate the price of hops.

Beer should taste like BEER!

Those fruit flavour beers have been around for ages, and horrible all the time. People in our local used to go on about the Belgian Trappist beers brewed by monks, berry flavour, fucking rank.

When folk go on about "citrussy" though, they don't mean the beer is fruit flavoured. They mean it's been hopped to fuck which has made it sour.

Bet Brewdog drinkers include a disproportionate amount of blokes in short trousers.
