So their marketing is so genius the business is making a loss and staff are losing what little benefits they have? Fucking epic.

I guarantee that this latest news will kill this thread stone dead now that the cheerleaders can't possibly defend them any longer.

Punks With Purpose on Inastagram: "BrewDog management's decision to revoke a long-standing commitment to the real Living Wage proves that there is no principle too dearly held for them to abandon"

Craft beer giant Brewdog abandons real living wage for employees

The Ellon-based craft beer giant says the decision was "necessary" despite a £321m profit last year.

not a brewery that I support, anyway.

Lamentable lack of response so far. I’m sure it’s just down to delays on the commute home this evening.

As I've said recently on this thread, I like it, and not just the IPAs.

Their Punk IPA is hard to drink fast, which makes it a rubbish beer

No comments from Spymaster defending their genius (yet surprisingly unprofitable) marketing strategies?

Shocker.

 

[equationgirl]

I see he's adding passive aggressive smileys to my posts in lieu of defending Brewdog using actual words.

No need. I've got them winding themselves up without even posting. Genius.

 

[Yossarian]

So they're fucking over their employees a few days after announcing they're making a movie about how amazing they are?

Yeah yeah you're an undiscovered genius because you are so pleased with yourself for being a troll.

You are boring, spy.

I tried to be patient with their beers but finally after a couple of hours in their first bar ( utterly soulless place) they opened in Manchester I just decided that their fizz wasn't really for me. I've drunk it on flights , had it bought as xmas or birthday presents but never consumed it with any enthusiasm. I think it is beer for lager drinkers or people that dont really drink beer.

36 different beers that all taste the same.

Good burgers though.

I drink both lager and bitter, but much of the pale, fizzy shit served up as some variant of pale ale by these so-called independent breweries over the last few decades tastes like neither, and is usually unpleasant.

There's few things more disspiriting than being dragged into a self-styled 'community pub' to see nothing but a host of beers you've never heard of and none of them a straightforward bitter. And the stout is almost always some crap tasting heavily of chocolate or coffee.

There is a lot to be said for a good session bitter like Timothy Taylor or Bass imo . Actually, I'm partial; to those chocolate stouts if I'm ever back in autumn/winter in the UK and a few micro breweries do them over here now.

I used to be a bit more adventurous with beer, but now I just like stout to taste like Guinness. Sam Smiths does a great stout. Better than Guinness actually imo. And their lager is pretty good as well.

No you're wrong they don't all taste the same but surprisingly for such a wide range I've never managed to come across one that passes muster.

A couple of trolls and other non-entities. It's piss, mainly and its retail outlets are populated by wrong uns, gropers and ghouls.

Nobody really likes bitter anymore unless you’re over 60, so providing it wouldn’t be much of an earner
