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

TBF, "I'd like to apologise", to my ears, is pretty much the same as "sorry". Although I expect it's though gritted teeth and on advice of accountants in this case, either way.
 
Expect the equity partners don't say very much, due to having safety pins through their lips.
Iirc it might be s hedge fund, they won't like this turn of events, I'm going to check...

It's s private equity group called TSG Consumer Partners, who also own Pabst.
 
Am I surprised to discover that the owners of Brewdog are cunts to their workers? No.

Is a box of four Hazy Jane for £4.50 that tastes as good as many more genuinely 'craft' beers at three times the price still the best value IPA option available in many shops? Yes

Are the two points above related to each other? Probably :(

The best value. I bet you eat at mcd's and shop at Wilko's too. You know the price of everything but the value of nothing
 

Just let this all sink in:

61 former employees, plus a minimum of 45 others who “did not feel safe” to include their names or initials, levied numerous damaging accusations at the brewery.

In 2017 BrewDog threatened legal action to prevent a bar from using the term “punk” in its name. Despite being a vocal critic of the behaviour of large corporations, raised an objection to plans by music promoter Tony Green to open a bar in Leeds called Draft Punk. Green, who says the name was a tongue-in-cheek reference to French dance music act Daft Punk, said the “intimidating” threat contravened the punk movement spirit that BrewDog claims to espouse.
 
It was apparent from the very start that the owners were a bunch of Grade A shitheads

Ew.

I'm trying to think who a publicity shot like that is even meant to appeal to. I mean, men with the sexual maturity of me as a 13-year-old heavy metal fan who hadn't yet been within 20 paces of a real-life woman might like it, but even they'd be a bit embarrassed to, right? Who on earth is going to think the brand is more cool than they did before as result of seeing it? Is it a hipster thing? Like, look at us all Motley Crue but it's OK because we know how unacceptable it is.
 
So, just for clarity: these two, who weren't even born when it happened, have tried to claim the word "punk" as part of their "brand"? Twats!
Yes we've been angry about it for eight years. :mad:

Oh dear! Btw: are the two "gents" in this pic models or the actual Brewdog twats?

That picture was first posted on the first page of this thread, eight years ago.

This thread will never die.
