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

I haven't "blindly defended Watt". Unless you can prove otherwise? I've simply not gone along with the prevailing pile-on, because I could see that there was something dodgy going on under the surface.

Don't feel bad - you weren't the only one who got it wrong.
Blindly following the tactics and evasiveness of Spymadter does you no favours either.

Sorry to disappoint those who want to conjure up a rabid mob out to get poor Brewdog, but I don't have any problem saying that if this raises some money for good-quality, on-the-ground human rights work, good for them.

That doesn't make Brogdale's insinuation wrong, of course - they'll do well out of it for themselves too, given that people drink a lot during the world cup and this lager is far from Brewdog's best-selling line.

BrewDog has been slammed for launching a “disingenuous” ‘anti-sponsorship’ campaign for the Qatar World Cup, donating profits to charities but continuing to show the tournament.

The brand said it would show the World Cup at its outlets but “all the profits from our Lost Lager sold during the tournament going to fight human rights abuse.”
So they'll be making lots of money by screening the games in all their pubs, making profits that will dwarf their charitable donations.

Absolutely fucking pathetic.

And here's what a union has to say about these shitehawks:

Trade union Unite criticised the campaign launched today, with its industrial organiser for the hospitality sector Bryan Simpson, branding it one of the worst employers in the industry.

He said “the treatment of workers in Qatar is an international scandal but BrewDog have a cheek saying anything about workers rights when hundreds of their own workers (past and present) signed an open letter detailing a “culture of fear” with workers demanding an apology for “harassing, assaulting, belittling, insulting or gaslighting them”.

“This horrendous treatment was further reinforced by the much cited BBC Disclosure – The Truth About Brewdog in which corroborated a “toxic and misogynistic work culture” across the organisation.”

“This is yet another disingenuous advertising campaign designed to distract customers from the fact that BrewDog is one of the worst employers in the brewing industry when it comes to doing the right thing thing by workers”

Quite interesting read that. So if BrewDog was the Qatar version of a brewery, who do we think would compare to the other big brewing dogs of the planet?

Greenall Whitley could represent England. Ok in it's relative heyday but gone to the dogs now.
Deuchars. I'd walk 500 miles for one of their independent IPA's because it's Caledonian and everything else is shit.
Purple Moose. Wales "It's not our fault you cant pronounce the name of it".
Guinness. Ireland. Fairly self explanatory.

Positive or negative, Broggers?
Most folk have a balanced 'spin of electrons' (values) and are not attracted to cunt magnets, others have a dominant spin in one direction and are strongly attracted.

The wonder of science, eh?
 
Turns out Brewdog signed a distribution deal in Qatar a few months before their holier than thou advertising campaign

Oh FFS. I actually started to think 'well ... maybe they could atone for their past behaviour if they really keep up the do-gooding' there for a minute. After all, the apologists' question about why this medium-sized outfit deserves a 200+ page thread when plenty of evil corporations don't have a single one is not totally unreasonable. But that (Qatar deal vs advert) really confirms as clearly as anything so far that they're scumbags and charlatans.

Thread would be a lot shorter if it wasn't being taken up by trolling chortletwats who should have been given a thread ban ages ago.
