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

[Teaboy]

Chill out and have a pint or two of punk, lads. This double act needs a lot of fine tuning.

From tiny acorns, mighty oaks grow. Imagine - we might be witnessing the birth of our generation's Hale & Pace.

I think you should merge double-acts and go for a Mary Whitehouse Experience style thing.

More brilliant PR to promote the brand and increase overall sales.

Yeah. They should be doing their best to go bust.

Mrs SI likes these fancy IPAs with citrus and zesty hoppiness. Horrible stuff if you ask me.

British beer has been going down that route generally for 2 or 3 years. I don't want my beer to taste of grapefruit thanks

Excellent use of the straw man fallacy. Textbook stuff!

A straw man is a form of argument and an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not presented by that opponent. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man

You actually made a perfectly reasonable point.

If Brewdog invented tomororw a cure for Coronavirus, I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that some fault with it would somehow be found in this forum

the fuckers would flavour it with pineapple and stick a picture of Robert Smith on (without paying the photographer)

Sod coronavirus, if they cured cancer, it'd be a marketing ploy!

No. Must I? Why?

There's a likely scenario for you.

Sad to see the same handful of individuals doing their best to trash a thread with a stream of irrelevant/off-topic/disruptive posts because it carries an opinion they don't like.

Like your patronising strawman definition?

Fucks sake, this place is built on pisstaking and opposing views and wild veerings from the topic, that's not trashing anything!

My original point, jokey as it was, was that of course it's a marketing device. That's what businesses do. You're agen it cos you don't like Brewdog, but what do you expect?

Businesses try and make money, sometimes opportunistically. Truism klaxon

Joking aside though - can you clarify which side you are on? Are you for Brewdog, the NHS and honest hardworking families, or are you for Dominic Cummings, the establishment, the virus and widespread death?

FYI, San Miguel is currently on offer on Waitrose- at least it was yesterday. About 1.70something for a big bottle.
