or indeed any other mainline stationFair play but we're far from their target market. I always seem to be the oldest bloke in the Paddington Brewdog but I suppose that might have something to do with me being one of the oldest blokes in Paddington.
'middle aged' you said.Fair play but we're far from their target market. I always seem to be the oldest bloke in the Paddington Brewdog but I suppose that might have something to do with me being one of the oldest blokes in Paddington.
Introducing vegans back to meat. It's like tapering off drugs but the other way round.
tbf that's the most attractive feature of that pic.Look at the head on that 'pint'
Birdseye and every other cheap frozen burger manufacturer clearly ahead of their timeWhat's the problem with a 50% vegan burger? I can't see it is anything other than a positive move towards cutting down on meat consumption.
Try the chorizo hotdogs, they're ace. I've got a craving for one now.Oh, and I like Brewdog bars. They always have the AF beers in stock and they are only £2 a can (in the last couple I went to at least, Edinburgh and Leeds).
Shit company run by corporate cunts selling overpriced beer in vile soulless bars.
I agree, I think in this case it's just badwagon jumping. And as a meat eater who is living with a vegetarian I think getting people to cut down is going to produce better results in the short-mid term then expecting people to go fully veg. I don't think this particular burger helps much in that respect as it seems to be a regular meat burger with a vegan patty added to it.Love the fact that in scenarios like this, nobody ever wants to accept that perfectly logical reason for introducing such a thing (e.g. to help cut down on meat intake/production) might actually be, erm, true. But that can't be right, it's definitely a conspiracy by people who are "bad".
I'm trying to cut down my meat intake. I'd try this, and knowing myself, I can see how it might help me down the road to eating pure vegan burgers instead.
All the rage online about 'it's got to be 100% vegan or nothing grrr!!!' (see the hilarious comments in the Daily Record article) entirely misses the point about managed behaviour change being a gradual process for much of the population. It's all just noise, and it isn't helpful.
Oh, and I like Brewdog bars. They always have the AF beers in stock and they are only £2 a can (in the last couple I went to at least, Edinburgh and Leeds). So pretty good value for money I'd say. Most other bars charge at least £4.50 a can IME. So good for them for providing an affordable option.
Go for it, I don't think the hate here is that much with them producing bad beer though (it's more overpriced 'meh' than anything). More their culture as a company.I've never drunk a Brewdog beer in my life but all of you lot ranting on about how they're bad/good they are is making me think that the next time I am in our local Tesco, I will have to pick one up just to give it a try and see for myself how good/bad it might be. Even if I hate it they haven't lost anything since they don't have to refund me.
They really don't, you know.Every time they are talked about they win

Yep. And that 'equity punk' stuff is fucking embarrassing. What kind of twat invests into that kind of laughable faux edgy bullshit.Still back to the main topic - BrewDog - shite beer, shite pubs, run by wankers.
I don't object to eating less meat, I welcome that.
What I object to is them calling a burger containing meat '50% vegan'. It isn't. It's not vegan at all.
They're not calling it a vegan burger though. They're calling it a hybrid burger, and it IS 50% vegan. You'd have to be a bit of a moron not to understand that the other 50% is meat.
steak is 75% water - steak is 75% vegan ?
YOU are 60% water - You are 40% human?
But you can have an item that is composed of 50% vegan ingredients, call it something inflamatory and, as you say, a marketing strategy to get people discussing it on message boards, in the pub, etc ...You can't have an item that is 50% vegan ...
If I go into greggs and get one vegan and one meat sausage roll, and have them both for my lunch, then I can't say that half my lunch was vegan, but if I just have the vegan one for lunch, and the meat one for dinner, then I can say that I had a vegan lunch? Or does eating the meat one mean that I didn't have a vegan lunch, because I'm clearly not vegan?You can't have an item that is 50% vegan, like you can't be a little bit pregnant. It's marketing based on the absurdity of the idea. Not that I give a lot of a shit tbh; there's a lot of marketing around.
Why not? A hot beef injectionfuck - I’m more than half vegan.
I’ll have some biltong for tea, that’ll help even things up
You're normally good at this stuff but you've fucked this one up. Fridgemagnet clearly refers to an item (singular) yet here you buy two different items. Fucked it.If I go into greggs and get one vegan and one meat sausage roll, and have them both for my lunch, then I can't say that half my lunch was vegan, but if I just have the vegan one for lunch, and the meat one for dinner, then I can say that I had a vegan lunch?

No.Have they actually described it as 50% vegan? It's not on the quoted tweet.
My lunch was the singular item. And if you're going to tell me that my lunch doesn't count as singular because it contains multiple components then I'm going to say the same about the burger.You're normally good at this stuff but you've fucked this one up.

A burger is a burger, two sausage rolls are two sausage rolls. See how one is singular (can I have a burger please) and the other isn't (two sausage rolls please)My lunch was the singular item. And if you're going to tell me that my lunch doesn't count as singular because it contains multiple components then I'm going to say the same about the burger.
