But they weren’t millionaires at the beginning were they? They started off small and made a massive success out of their business.

Why the fuck are you making apologies for these pricks?
It’s about 50% off, if you buy them from Tesco and the share is worth 25 quid.

That's about 48 cans for £30, so almost free beer for anyone who can be arsed to save the tins.
Not too shabby, in fairness. Negotiate a bit of a better discount (or sell the beer) and there's an arbitrage opportunity!

A storm brewing BrewDog certainly has a unique way of going about things. First there’s the provocative marketing which has gained the company substantial international coverage. “We have a terminal addiction to make beers we want to drink. Beer with teeth and balls. Beer we lust for. Crafted...

I don't drink nearly enough beer to make it worthwhile. Even if I did I wouldn't be drinking Brewdog products.
Shit!! 
We broke our boycott on Monday and went to the new Swansea Brewdog place 
at selves
Very much a one-off -- it was our friend Sarah's 45th and she'd got all her other friends to assemble there.
Beer cost was a shocker, if £5= a pint still is a shocker (well it is in Swansea
)
Their Zombie Porter (5%) was actually quite nice, and their vegan Monday deal (2 meals for one) was a reasonable price too -- albeit I had to have their (tasty) salad and 'fries' because all 4 of their other vegan options were imitation meat, seitan etc., and I absolutely hate that whole concept
BUT never again!!! even if Swansea's BD place is a bit 'cheaper' than Bristol and Cardiff.
Went to The Bank Statement (Spoons) across the road afterwards, to recover ....
Pint of Cotleigh Old Buzzard (4.8%) there? £1:85 on Pensioners' Monday!
festivaldeb's double gin (a special one, too) in their current gin festival? About £2:50 ...
Say what you like about Wetherspoons .........

The BD bar in Leeds is just as pricey. I was there for someone’s leaving do and thought I’d get the most bang for my buck so was about to order a 6.3% brew only to find that the £5.50 price tag was for 2/3 of a pint - ouch! Not exactly “craft beer for the people” at that price.

A fiver is probably about average in central London boozers now. Not much less outside, especially if you’re into continental/Brewdog style fizzpiss.

I'd say over a fiver is standard outside of London if you like those kind of pubs.
When I worked in an average Bass pub in Preston in 1996, it was £2.80 for a pint of whatever the premium beer was (Carling Premier had just been launched - just remember what used to be premium beer 
) - that's £5.29 in today's money according to the BOE inflation calculator. The £5 pint has always been with us.

Av price of pint of draught lager 96-98 was 1.75- 1.90. Obv some would be more than others but either way, basic prem lager would be nearer two quid than three on the whole i think. Also has 2019 av as 3.73 My local does kronenburg for 3.50. Fosters etc is 3 quid. Bitters cheaper still.

Brewdog to switch some production to hand sanitisers

Gin and beer firms start making hand sanitiser
BrewDog said they had started manufacturing 'Punk Sanisiter' for people struggling to get it amid huge increased demand.

They're now advertising a 'drive though' service in Brixton. You know, the borough with one of the highest levels of road pollution and also with the lowest amount of car ownership.Brewdog to switch some production to hand sanitisers

And are they giving away the sanitiser?

Yes, are they giving it away or even at zero profit to them? As someone with an underlying health condition I've been unable to locate any for a couple of weeks.
Edit: brewdog said they would give it away, but followed it up with them losing 70% of their business overnight, in a rather ominous way.

I think brewdog say in piece they are giving it away which if accurate then fair enough really. Obviously I'll always think they are wankers because of how they brand themselves, just the way it is
The entire industry is facing total wipeout at the moment, I think you can forgive a brewery for trying to find some way of keeping their sites operating and staff employed.

Why are Brewdog facing a 'total wipeout'? Are people suddenly going to stop buying their cans online or in shops? Even though their crappy bars may get hit they're still in an infinitely stronger position that any pub/independent brewery etc.
Still this is all good PR for them. "Post modern classic" sanitiser, FFS.
