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

understanding obligations under employment law should be literally the first line on the job spec.

I can’t image that the hr director had any idea what was going on, losing in a employment tribunal is completely humiliating.

A) the incident happened in the first place
B) your pre tribunal advice is so poor, that you thought going to the tribunal and suffering the reputational damage was a good idea

In my experience someone somewhere (lawyers or senior hr) in the process says “what the fuck have you done ? Pay them off today”

Clearly having a worker with a disability didn't fit their image. Think they got done a year ago for removing the disabled unisex wc from their flagship Aberdeen pub. They were ordered to reinstate it fairly quickly by the council.

One can only assume they don't want to encourage those with disabilities to use their bars or drink their products.

I feel like putting turds in beer, bottling it, and sending it to them. I can't think of a name other than 'code brown'.

They are utter shits. Filthy capitalistic cunts appropriating the punk ethos as an edgy image to make even more money for themselves. 'Equity for punks', my fucking arse.

Seems to be a growing trend this 'rebel sell' type of marketing, this time its a brewery called Brewdog with beers named such as Punk IPA, I have no idea about its business practices and workers conditions, but it is so blantant, the niche it is using.

I imagine you also lived through the 1990's and the rise of the "alcopop"? Did watch a documentary about it a few years ago, it wasn't initially to appeal to teenage drinkers (although that it was it became), it was originally a way to strike back against the "rave scene" and perceived use of other methods of "enjoying oneself".
So, to counteract the drinking of water (bad), and not alcohol-based drinks, the "industry" created the alcopop, which I am pretty sure led on to the creation of the "energy" drink.

Just in case anyone was wondering how "liberal" the Lib Dems are, they were opposing a ban on alcohol advertising to this day, not just when children could be watching.

As far as I know, this ban has been in place in France for at least 20 years.

Closing time in Ireland is about 10pm, unless you're in a pub I think.
 
Biggest Pub In London? The New BrewDog Has To Be A Contender

Who would have known? London's latest punk venue is a huge corporate pub in the square mile!
 
Its also half-full at best which does seem to be the case with every brewdog pub I've been into.

Hop exchange. It's just hipster buzzword bingo with these cunts isn't it? :rolleyes:

It's a bit like in the 90s at the peak of the Oirish pub boom, when they'd have the road sign to Tipperary, an old bicycle and maybe a postbox slapped up on the wall.

I feel we're at that point with all this craft beer hipsterish nonsense (no one really identifies as hipster, but I'm going to say that they're appropriating 'hipster' culture as much as punk). Neon light check, a barrel of some brewed on site shite festering in the corner (but that clearly doesn't have the capacity to be more than a token gesture) check.

I mean this is a fancy office block in the city and they're charging £6+ a pint to guys in suits. The bare lightbulbs and concrete walls Hackney Wick popup look is just stupid in this context.

They seem to be popping up all over London at the moment. I sense a bubble that's about to go pop.
