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

And that just lets him spout whatever bullshit he wants, because he knows he won't be challenged on it. So I've challenged him as has Pickman's model . If he doesn't answer that says more about him than it does me.

He's just on a wind-up. This is how he spends his time. I think he's a surveyor or NHBC inspector maybe building control or something equally tedious so I wouldn't be too hard on him.

It seems like you just want to stir up trouble too.

This whole thread should be binned. It's been taken over by people who don't want to discuss the issues in an adult way.

I bet it wouldn't go down well if those brewdog guys got all snobby and looked down their noses at the "boring" kind of people who do low paid jobs like parking attendants and made them part of a joke to put in their marketing and that. I wonder if the brewdog guys feel all superior and think that their jobs are super fascinating and not just carrying out 'tedious' tasks like building regulations inspectors do, tasks that protect millions of people's safety every day.

Urban75 gets more snooty every day.
 
All brewers are tories; I prefer the ones that are, at least, open about that fact.

In the case of Yemen, the workers were under pressure for a long time already, but the last brewery manager, the West German Eckhardt Zitzmann, was still optimistic in 1990 that the company will continue to work. He even was sure that the non-alcoholic beverage would diminish some of the opposition against the National Brewing Company. In the then communist South of Yemen, where during the Cold War the Russians sent their ‘specialists’ for various reasons, the vodka was also known, but did not get too much popularity. The production of Seera beer was not only a source of lust – even though the bottles were sold as discretely as possible, including by small openings in the walls that could not be seen easily. The factory was producing around 50,000 Hectolitres pro year, for local consumption and, where possible, export in the area.

Ha. One has landed at long last.

Actually, I can see why you do it now it is quite fun.
 
Good on their PR team for the aldi can, I almost raised a smile and that's praise indeed for Brewdog PR guff.

We're not here to discuss 'issues' in an adult way. We're here to call out a bunch of cunts when they act like cunts and keep a nice record of their cuntiness in one place. We're doing them a service in that respect.
 
As a slight derail, it’s funny how some corporations take an absurdly overzealous approach to any alleged similarities between their brands and other brands, even when the other party doesn’t even compete with them in what they sell, while others don’t bother when they would have a much stronger case.

Apple are currently suing a husband and wife’s food blog because their website has a pear as its logo Apple deems to be too similar to theirs. One of the most absurd claims ever made. Meanwhile many supermarkets launch own brand products far more closely resembling successful brand products and get away with it.

I’m sure Brewdog will neither be that bothered nor negatively affected by Aldi’s ‘tribute’ beer. But I’m surprised the owners of I Can’t Believe it’s not Butter let so many copycat brands to emerge.

Surely they couldn’t possibly not win any copyright infringement libel claim they made against any of the above chancers?

Here's a case in point involving this very site!

 
They're a $2 billion dollar business now.

I love their story - two plucky Scottish best friends since kids taking on the world with beer. They’re an inspiration to others imo.
 
Further to previous replies I would rather be a child and keep my self-respect if being an adult means being like you
Thanks for keeping us up to date on the latest developments in your internal monologue and obviously I'm flattered to be a constant reference point within it.
 
I think it would be more trademark infringement and passing off rather than copyright infringement T & P but it's really not my specialism. Note the similar shades of yellow and blue used by the products.
