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

[Gromit]

Urban could probably come up with something clever.
Whereas I would just have the can wording read as "CUNTS" when inverted to drink out of.

Well inspired entirely by this thread I have tried my first ever bottle of Brewdog and drunk a bottle of Brewdog Lost Planet Saving Lager (cider man by choice but I'm OK with lagers). It was OK, drinkable enough but I wouldn't rave over it.
Carling is better tbh.

If ever there was a case for giving Scotland independence, Brewdog is it.

I think you're right in suggesting that there's definite cause for Scottish pride here.

That doesn't speak well for their products, because Carling is rank piss.

Carling Premiere isn't too bad if you're a fizz-piss drinker, but yeah ...

There’s far too much snobbery about Carling. It is a perfectly drinkable lager that I bet a lot of people wouldn’t be able to ID in a blind taste testing.

I would suggest that the opinion of a cider drinker "OK with lagers" is essentially worthless in any case.

Nah. It’s the absolute worst of all the 4% lagers, watery as hell. Massively inferior to your Amstel, Carlsberg, even Fosters FFS

Well having actually drunk it, I stand by my opinion. If I want weak, overly-fizzy lager then there are better options.

Bud Light is alright too. Only 3.5% which means I can have a can and it doesn't even register. And crucially it doesn't the nasty aftertaste of no-alcohol beers.

 

[shifting gears]

While I’m slagging Carling off, when I used to work in pubs (admittedly many years ago), it was always the favoured pint of your “British Bulldog” types

So not only is it pish, it’s basically fash beer too

Why do you hate the British working class?

Now for most of the weaker lagers I'd agree with you on a blind tasting. But I happen to think Carling has a very distinct flavour to it. It's not one that I like - it reminds me of the mass-market Canadian beer it originated from - but it does taste different to Fosters, Amstel, et.al.

I was actually astonished when I started seeing that Yankee pisswater for sale over here. It saddens me that such anaemic swill even has a market in this country.

Oh that hurt, you know how to stab someone through the heart don't you?

It's for when the occasion demands you pretend to drink a beer even if you don't want one.

Carling is every bit as undrinkable as Brewdog.

Nah, you can add something to Carling and it makes a passable lager and lime or shandy. Nothing you can add to Brewdog to make it nice.

 

[pesh]

You really can’t.

Why do you hate the British working class?

Advertising pitch.

A man walks into a pub, probably a Wetherspoons. He is probably played by David Walliams. He goes up to the bar and we see through his eyes as he scans the taps. There are eight or nine taps badged as Carling, then one at the far end, which is cider.

"A pint of cider, please," says David, cheerily.

The barmaid, probably played by Patsy Palmer, screws up her face and yells:

"WHY do you HATE the BRITISH! WORKING! CLASS!"

The Carling logo comes into the screen, along with the tagline:

DRINK IT OR DO ONE

I'm getting a bit behind here. Hand and Heart's Brewdog Affected Workers Platform report is out: BrewDog Affected Workers Platform — Hand & Heart Business Consulting / Hospo Hotline for Food Business

Apart from an edgy marketing campaign

No, that’s a dismissal.

HTH

Like your dismissal of the drinking tastes of the hard grafting British worker.

 

[savoloysam]

I drink Moretti these days. Decent taste, not that gassy. Stupid pricey for a 4.6% lager though.

Your attempt to apply what I said about British Bulldog types to the entire “British working class” was disingenuous and anyone that can’t see that is thicker than a Boxing Day turd
