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

Staff policies?

I don't know what their staff policies are. I presume you mean the unproved accusations made by some employees, which have been denied.

I don't know what the truth is.

Like I said, it's not black and white. It would be naiive to believe one side over the other without question.
I'm not sure how much proof you need if you're going to ignore the multiple testimonies of workers - including video interviews shown on the BBC with some women in tears - and still side with the bosses by trying to wave it all out of sight and declare it 'unproven.'

I'm not siding with anyone. Nor am I waving it out of sight.

I'm saying that I don't know the truth. Nor do you.

I do know what it looks like when evidence stacks up from multiple workers in multiple locations, backed by eye witness testimony and a credible documentary where workers have been interviewed on camera.

Really find it weird why you;d think all that testimony somehow is equalled out by the boss's take on it - even more so when you consider he apologised for his behaviour in the past.
 
That Good Beer Hunting article has been taken down following a cease and desist letter from Watt - dunno if you might want to edit your post editor , possible contempt of court.

Though from the tone of the new page they may be disputing that and are standing by its accuracy.

I'm sure the court case, and the Ofcom investigation, will look into the "evidence".

This is so reminiscent of libel cases where the narrative ends up being very little to do with the truth and everything to do with the wealth of the bully.
 
Absolutely. It's not clever then really is it :D It's as old as the hill in marketing.

I'm not sure I'd actually go as far as to say Watt's that 'necessary' but yeah they need to exist in a capitalist world but the point being made is he/they clearly lie about their constantly debunked philanthropic/altruistic intent as a tool to make more money.

Have we got any examples of JW just giving his money to causes without it being part of them selling a product? Gen question btw.
theres always going to

The case itself will be where clarity, veracity, and moral judgements can and likely will be made. And I look forward to seeing the details emerge about the reality of the relations, communications, and intent behind it all for both parties.
 
Not sure if “the next village” sounds much different to “southern shandy” tbh.
The next village is but the village after that is the Welsh Toxteth then you get in to town apparently. I wouldn't know about that tough because no-one goes into town from round here especially on a Friday night.

I'm projecting, somewhat, from the NE. All the villages are posh. Mere mortals live on the estates where as in village life you're on the top table. Landowners etc.

To be fair mate most of the villages I've worked in Wales have been rougher than some of the council estates I grew up in in the North West. Not here though, it's posh as fuck where I am now apart from our house and the next village :D

Fair point. Same as colliery villages in the NE. I've been on the piss and chatting shit lol.
 
Your gaff's proper posh!
It's got character I admit but it was a derelict, haunted, building when we got the keys, as you know.

Anyway as editor has suggested, let's get back to your newfound sensible disapproval of Brew-dogs, not to be trusted, advertising schizz, and their toxic workplace culture. It's nice of you to acknowledge this on my anniversary. I can only accept this as a gift from you to me on this special day. I thought we were going to fall out over this but you're such an honourable person when the facade of fun and frolics fades.

Thanks Cunty.

Close the the thread Ed once he acknowledges that he and teuchter are secret warm beer lovers and are only here for the wind up ;)
 
What beer is shite? Punk IPA? It's one of the most popular drinks sold in 'spoons.
Yeah. I'm not a huge fan of Punk IPA but it's alright and Hazy Jane is very good. I've been in plenty of pubs where I'd have jumped at Punk IPA on tap if it had been there. Brewdog are not Greene King.

I sometimes moan about the seeming hegemony of IPA, but easy to forget how bad the choice of beer in many pubs used to be.

As for BD as an employer, a quick google suggests they pay about the same as Greene King. They're both shit employers, like most employers. :(

I mostly drink in 'spoons and my goto drink (if there isn't any decent guest ales on) is Shipyard. If Shipyard isn't there I'll go for Punk. The only reason I wouldn't go for Punk before Shipyard is that it's stronger and more expensive.
Other than that, If the guest ales are shit and the Shipyard is off... I can go for Punk or Gin I guess.

IPA shouldn't taste like lager, so it can fuck off.

Spoons just buys whats cheap, there's better stuff to be had.

The whole idea of "craft" breweries is a yank idea, in Britain, its trying to sell us something that never went away (although there are less of them).

Fucking citra hops all over the fucking place.
