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

[Buckaroo]

Half vegan?

 

[MickiQ]

Melton?

Nope other direction

 

[8ball]

Nope other direction

Matlock is nice. Don’t know Chesterfield.

Probably wrong on both counts..

 

[friedaweed]

No vegan is going to want a vegan burger that's been smothered in meat.

I kinda considered this but then I got to thinking... then what if a couple of folk got together on a date after weeks of online exchanges after meeting on rebelmatch.com and went out for a meal and one of them was strictly do-boeuf and the other was a tofu tinker-bell how far would that go?

OK you might not want to share the sandwich of compromise but where would that end? Would you throw the tongue in in the cab, after teeth had been brushed, never?

This could be the burger that said fuck our dietary choices we still love each other and want to share our juices regardless of their origins.

Do vegans kiss people who dig swine or do they give them a wide swerve?

Well, you’re not encouraging a particular farming system, or providing any market incentive for the creation of animal products either way, so I guess it would vary by personal taste.

I reject this analysis

That’s nice.

I suggest brewdog followers on twitter and people who live near brewdog branches are more likely to be under than over 40.

Therefore attempts by brewdog to encourage voting is more likely to bring out people on the left than right.

 

[Buckaroo]

Bollocks to bar graphs.
Vegan militia go around picking pepperoni off peoples pizzas and giving them a slap and chucking an almond milk-free-milk-shake in their face.

I love the taste of meat

I know 2 couples where one is vegan and one is not, the older pair are friends of ours have been married for twenty odd years and the other is one of my nephew and his g/f who have lived together for 3 or 4 years. I don't know if it's significant but the veggie half of both couples is the female half.

I've no idea what that means but YEAH!

Not really significant - within that age cohort most veggies are female by a wide margin.

Edit: tbf it would be equally insignificant with any other combination of gender and dietary preference, given the sample size. Of the vegans I know, it’s about a 50:50 split, maybe a little more female-biased for vegetarians. Not really typical, but just the way the dice roll.

 

[teuchter]

What is it?

Approximately 50% of it is 100% vegan.

Do vegans kiss people who dig swine or do they give them a wide swerve?

Interesting technical question.

It would seem relevant in the time shortly after a meal.

If it's not, then I don't see why all the fuss about vegetables that might have come a tiny bit into contact with meat.

 

[Buckaroo]

Spectrum. Vulcan, whatever.

Are you trying to say that if vegans reject food that has come a tiny bit into contact with meat, this indicates that they are autistic? Not sure what your point is here, or why you're making it.

I'm a meat eater but would be put off kissing someone if they still had remnants of their dinner (meat or veg) still lurking in their mouth.

What if it was butterscotch angle delight and they'd just licked it off your willy?

 

[salem]

I said I'd be put off by remnants of dinner - Angel Delight is desert, that's fine.

Butterscotch angel delight is waaaaay too close to faeces in both texture and colour to be appealing surely?

Classic greenwashing bullshit

Independent craft brewer BrewDog, has revealed the details of the first initiative from its sustainable business charter ‘BrewDog Tomorrow’, with Cans for Equity.

The scheme will see BrewDog exchange shares in its business for empty beer cans, in a bid to encourage more sustainable business practices through incentivised recycling.

The initiative will also be live in all European BrewDog bars from 25th February, and will run across the UK & Europe until its latest round of crowdfunding closes in April.


For more information, and imagery please head to the BrewDog press hub.

• In exchange for 50 empty BrewDog cans, they will be given a voucher for a share in the Scottish brewery
• The initiative will also be live in all European BrewDog bars from 25th February, and will run across the UK & Europe until its latest round of crowdfunding closes in April.
• BrewDog is partnering with First Mile Recycling to return the aluminum to the packaging industry; saving energy, reducing CO2 emissions and diverting the cans from landfill where they can take 500 years to decompose[1]. To alleviate this, the brewer is using its own Equity as a pioneering way to tackle the climate crisis
• With a community of over 130,000 Equity Punk shareholders worldwide, BrewDog has unveiled yet another way in which the people who drink their beer can be at the forefront of their company.

For more information on Equity for Punks, visit www.brewdog.com or email equitypunks@brewdog.com.

How many people are going to bother collecting 50 empty cans? And then compare with the environmental damage caused by their shitty 'world's beeriest airline' which encourages people to fly across the Atlantic. BrewDog

 

[salem]

And the bother of lugging 50 cans to a brewdog bar. For a share they normally sell for £25 (but actual value is debatable).

Still might be worth it for barstaff at nearby pubs to make a little bonus.

But really it's just a PR piece for another round of their shitty share issue.

How many of the cans involved here wouldn't have been recycled anyway? I'd put the number of people who might be tempted by this but don't have a recycling bin at around 0.

 

[skyscraper101]

I had a hard enough time collecting 50 gold coke can ring pulls during Euro '96 to get a free football training top. No way would I be arsed collecting 50 actual cans.

Buy fifty cans of beer from us and we'll give you a trivial discount

They're not trying to get people to buy more beer though. It's a brand awareness and association campaign to get media outlets to write about them as part of a much larger program ahead of their planned stock flotation later this year.

Yes that too but it does also involve having to buy fifty cans of brewdog

Nobody is going to buy 50 cans just to get a share and they don't expect them to. People who are already buying loads of the stuff might save tins that they'd buy anyway or collect their mate's, but Brewdog won't be expecting to sell more beer through this. It's about ramping-up chat prior to them listing. Getting this thread bumped is a perfect example of it working.

Still mocking the fuck out of their pathetic attempts at 'worthy' PR provides a good enough excuse to remind people that Brewdog are a bunch of cunts.
