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

I was going to but thanks to this thread I know they're a bunch of corporate scumbags, so I bought a case of Carling instead.
They are the definition of scum.How very dare they!

Yeah but they're 100% hipster and toytown punk approved. Big up the corporate multi-national 'rebels'!

I'm still not sure what you're crossest about - Brewdog's appropriation of "punk" or the existence of corporations. Cos it looks to me more like the former

Or perhaps it's about a company blending the two together, throwing in a bit of sexism and other dodgy practices while continuing to sucker people with the most piss weak of PR gestures.
Perhaps you've forgotten, but this site is set up on completely opposing principles, ethics and morals, so it's hardly a huge surprise that I'm not going to join in with the Punk Equity loving gang here and start applauding their money-raking bullshit.
My dad was drinking this stuff on Sunday when we were round theirs - he gave us a couple of cold ones out the fridge and I’ve got to say it’s very nice stuff and gives you the ‘beer buzz’ soon enough.

That's really fantastic. I'm so happy you got that beer buzz from drinking beer. Thanks for sharing.

I don't get this either. Sorry. Have I spent too much money or something?

Why are you asking me? I didn't say it, I just said I understood what he meant, but that doesn't mean I should be expected to then explain it to anyone who asks.What was the "bootlicking" bit about?

I thought it was extremely straightforward if you were following the thread. Tiny cans + big hipster price = shitloads of money to 'quench a thirst.'
I'd rather buy a dirt cheap bottle of 7.5 cider or a medium bottle of wine from thasda. At least you know they are just taking the pissing out of you.

I could get 12 cans for 12 quid the other week in Asda. Bargain!

Serious question.
Who would you consider worse in the corporate scheme of things:
Brewdog: who sell "hipster" beer, use the term "punk" and fucked up with a bit of sexist advertising once, or ...
... Huawei: racist employer and deployer of global spyware and commercial espionage resulting in billions of dollars of IP theft; in the pocket of a government currently involved in an internal genocide. Allegedly?
Take your time folks!

Or - do Brewdog beast their workers under the gig economy exploitation model whilst the CEO trundles along to become the worlds first trillionaire?

12 tiny cans for £12 doesn't seem so much of a bargain to me!
