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

i found some in a shop in islington earlier, charging £8 for perhaps 100ml

That shop may find such profiteering will come back to bite them on the arse. During the fuel blockade (2001?) a garage near us put the price of petrol to £2.50 per litre. Once it was all over everyone boycotted him and he closed 2 months later. People never forget being stiffed - esp. at times of crisis.
 
In Blackpool in august there is an annual punk festival with about an 8000 capacity - a magnificent sea of balding men with mohawks. I'm not sure where they go the rest of the year.
Sit in their bedrooms and complain about things on t’internet probably
 
'Dickhead cans', 'wanker beer', and similar terms, have been in use forever, mainly by dickheads and wankers who can't abide the fact that some people have different tastes to theirs. They'll often be the same people who refer to cheap high-strength booze as "tramp juice".

Doesn't really matter what your opinion of the people who refer to dickhead cans as dickhead cans is (although I think you are wrong that it corresponds with people who also say tramp juice), it remains the case that it contradicts your wild claim about antipathy to brewdog being limited to urban75.

Brewdog are intentionally a wanky aggravating brand and therefore lots of people are aggravated by them and think they are wankers. QED.

Half of those will be long suffering partners dragged along to the annual beer gut festival.

There are probably more Dulwich Hamlet supporters than there are genuine old school punks left.
 
Btw everybody I know who uses the terms dickhead cans and wanker beer - including me - mostly quite likes the wanker beer in the dickhead cans but doesn't like all the shit that goes with it.

Am quite partial to an overhopped IPA though even if the real ale types and purists say its shit.
 
I went to that rebellion thing in blackpool once btw, hated it, couldn't wait to leave. Dunno why I went, what was I expecting, silly
I've been a few times - loved it the first time when we just went for one day and there was a load of yank hardcore bands on and it was brilliant. I still found stuff to enjoy the other times I went, but the long afternoons full of dogshit oi band after dogshit oi bands before you get to the good stuff in the evening is a bit much.

Nah, bollocks. Be honest, if it wasn’t for this thread would you have any strong opinion on Brewdog whatsoever other than “I wouldn’t drink there”?

Yeah. I wasn't on here for years and hated brewdog. They are designed for most people to hate them, that's the fucking point. Separate the wheat from the cunts

Edit and most people know them as a beer in the shops not as bars btw
 
With Brewdog first promoting boozy air travel on their own shitty airline and now encouraging people to drive to their bars, at least we get to see through their PR and find out where they really stand on the environment, and it's clearly profit first, the environment a distant second.

No they're not. They employ clever marketing designed to appeal to a specific and lucrative demographic and it's clearly working and some idiots even buy into their ludicrous 'punk equity' nonsense,
 
Anyway tiny rebel are my favourite seller of overpriced dickhead cans, although I've gone off cwtch, dunno if my tastes have changed or novelty wore off or they changed it. Can't remember the last time I drank beer that wasn't either aldi/lidl fake dickhead cans or a pint of guinness
 
It's true that pollution from vehicles kills lots of people, but tackling it is a job for regulation and legislation, not companies during an international crisis trying to eke out a few more sales before having to close all their sites indefinitely, or the people who might choose to buy stuff from them.
The kind of people who will drive to this drive thru are the kind of people who resist legislation that would stop them driving around killing children. Typical of urban75 these days to see people saying that's all fine because we need to defend capitalists like brewdog against the effects of the crisis. A crisis caused by people who fly around in planes by the way.
 
I always imagine most of them have desk jobs with the local authority

I always thought that was the goths?

I think a lot of them are dead. Here for a good time etc...

This is true. My wife has never read this site in her life, but she only needed to see some of their adverts and watch the 'Who's the Boss?' episode on them to know they were wankers.

I hate to pull rank on this, but it's really irritating me: my partner has a - most likely fatal - disease, almost certainly a result of living just off the most polluted road in Manchester. I'm very much aware of the significant impact pollution has on people's health and wellbeing, and think using it as a stick to beat a company trying to stay open for another few days during a significant global crisis is a bit... distasteful tbh.
 
Also, I have a hatred of Brewdog for that time when I went to their bar in Bristol, ordered a cider off the menu and had to spend 5 minutes justifying my decision to order that instead of beer before they would let me have it. Wankers.
