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

[JimW]

The WiFi's free because they eavesdrop to nick their genius marketing ideas.

 

[Spymaster]

There is no way I would sit in anywhere all day just for free WiFi.

You've obviously never been a student, or skint.

You're making a silly argument by the way but that's par for the course on this thread, so don't worry too much.

Question hash tag; do you think all clothes shops should sell what you like to wear?

There is no way I would sit in anywhere all day just for free WiFi. I would be happy with a couple of decent pints.

Exactly, loads of places do free WiFi. The idea that it's a standout selling point for BrewDog pissholes just goes to show you how crap the drinks are.

The Sussex had gone downhill since Covid. It us d to be a decent food pub but they’re trying to make up lost ground by reducing the ingredient quality. The rotisserie chicken there last month was bone dry and burgers were leathery.

Also, their new pub sign is of Harry and Megan.

The Sussex is closed at the moment - refurbishment (again)
Re-opens this Wednesday under new owners -The Stonegate Group.
They will be removing the Harry/Megan sign apparently!

Desperate stuff!

They should keep it just for the WTFness!

 

[surreybrowncap]

And this..

 

[Spymaster]

Yes, that's in Rathbone Place.

Not sure if they should change the name, the sign, or both.

How's about the Basil or Basil's

That one was aimed absolutely full-square at you Broggers, and you didn't disappoint!

Glad you not disappointed with my post.
Thing is, if you spout bollux, or pretend to spout bollux, you can't really be surprised if it get's called what it is.
Perhaps, for the sake of gullible people like me, you could use a

ah, you’re too clever for me; I always fall for it and respond…though not always with a funny picture

I could go to any number of pubs in Preston and have decent beer, on cask or keg, and with free WiFi, without ever considering that I'm missing out because I'm not inside a middle aged nervous breakdown made real called "Brewdog".

I used to be a fan, I don't deny that. But up here there's Track, Rivington, Chain House; local breweries who focus on beer, not 'aspiration ' , not oversized play pens for advertising executives, not whether the hell is their quirky advertising this week.

All this said, I guarantee without doubt that Spymaster doesn't like Brewdog and never has. This thread is their plaything.

Can you see where you've gone wrong here?

His.

Reckon Spydog does PR for Brewmaster.

And they're doing a great job.

As NoXion says there are millions of other places to get free wifi. Libraries have free wifi and are nice warm quiet places if you need to work or study.
Yes, I am often skint.
The clothes shop analogy is not a particularly relevant argument.
If you must go to a pub for free wifi, at least go to one where you can get a decent pint; I suspect spoons is cheaper than brewdog with much better beer.

Pretty rich coming from the dick who spends their time in this thread doing desperately unfunny trolling.

You can go to micropubs and get much better pints then BD. I notice that the variety is a hell of a lot better at a 'tap' than BD.

How do you define variety?

What does the word mean to you?

Get fucked.

Hey editor I think this thread needs a bit of cleaning up. Why should this thread continue to be shitted up by a self-admitted troll? Thread ban pls.

 

[brogdale]

Genuinely impressed now; do you keep a handy supply of these amusing images in your images/desktop, or do you go hunting on the internet every time you get up to this sort of lark?

 

[PR1Berske]

I keep promising myself to avoid this troll playground and/or block the troll and god knows why I don't.

I know that bar. Guaranteed to be infinitely better than Brewdog's vile hipster fest of over priced shite.

I quite like the Hole In The Wall too.

Hole in the Wall | Eat & Drink

This quirky little gem inside one of the Waterloo Station railway arches is a local institution.

Yep. I pass through Waterloo quite often, and The Waterloo Tap and the Hole in the Wall are my two favourite pubs, very different as they are. Depends on my mood, whether I’ve walked over from Embankment and whether I’m with anyone.
Didn’t even know there was a Brewdog in the vicinity.

The best Waterloo pub is The Kings Arms for drinking. The best for food is The Anchor and Hope, on The Cut.

The Kings Arms is a really good ale pub. It's just a bit further than the others if I've got a train to catch, which is normally the case if I'm in the Waterloo area. Don't know the Anchor and Hope. Must explore further when I have time one day. Cheers.

The A & H is one of those that's easy to look at the outside and decide not to bother. That's a mistake.

 

[teuchter]

Unsurprising that no-one wants to talk about what will happen to any Brewdog employees made redundant as a result of the south London closures. I've not seen anyone popping up with examples of other employers who are likely to give them a better or even equal deal.

It's obvious that few contributors on this thread actually care about the workers. More interested in arguing that free wifi is an awful thing. How punk.

The reality is that it's 2023 - young people don't want to waste their time in pubs getting liver disease and ranting drunkenly at people they don't know; they don't have that luxury. They have things to do and places to be.

This must be the most boomer thread on urban.
