Naah, Brewdog works because almost everyone thinks Cummings was a twat, it’s marketed at people who like to think they’re a bit rebellious and because it was actually funny. The gin company can’t claim any of those things. And even if it had been funny, it would have been totally ducking inappropriate.

Yes. I actually edited my post to say this but 8ball quoted the original so I changed it back.

Really good piece on Brewdog here that explains exactly how they have played the haters to become one of the most successful companies in the UK and one of the industry's most sought after employers.
This thread could have been planned by their marketing department.

I still have an inkling they're financially a Carillion style house of cards. I have nothing to back it up just a feeling from the industry they are in to the way they have expanded and the characters involved.
I'm probably wrong but I've been in business long enough to smell a bit of a rat.

At least they actually sell something - that probably makes them more stable than a lot of current fast-growing companies.
Yes but all that means is they'll have a lot of capital tied up in ingredients and stock. It also means they need much larger premises. Much easier to be some sort of agent that way your only major overhead is your staff.

Pleased you like it.
I hope people immediately notice that this Brewdog Guardian Long Read was from March 2016.
Plus I linked to it here myself a zillion pages back in this thread, probably a couple of days or so after the article was originally published.

Another Brewdog initiative - supporting independent bars and other businesses in re-opening.They seem to be doing more than a lot of UK big businesses - supporting communities and NHS workers.

So they'll give an independent bar £250 of free stock, would that go very far? I note they will also give each member of staff a discount card for Brewdog bars so they will recoup that £250 and more pretty quickly.

It's just PR generating tokenism that has an infinitely small impact on their vast profits but is scooped up wholesale by Brewdog fanboys and 'punk equity' shareholders. In fact, the publicity generated probably tips them into more profit so they can buy themselves another jet for their shitty airline to make pointless, wasteful transatlantic jaunts.
Just picked up on Starmer visiting Brewdog from the Keir Starmer thread 
I said there that he could easily have picked a different brewery, but whatever .....

Yes, and they're going to torture them with thumbscrews until they use them.

They also donate hundreds of thousands to startup breweries each year and promote and pay their own staff a living wage.
Seems nice. They said Punk though.

Forgive me if the cynic in me feels that the profit-boosting PR benefits to themselves far outweigh their actual community contribution here:

As I've said before on this thread it's almost like businesses are in it for the money. Do Maccies give a tin fuck if you eat a salad or about planting trees? Think Amazon genuinely cares about the NAACP?
