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

[hitmouse]

I didn't think it would be possible to come up with a something as embarrassingly naff and cod-punk as Brewdog but I've got to give this guy credit. It really looks like a new business venture for Brewdog and he spouts the same kind of bullshit.

No more stupid than making alcoholic beer when we can now make quite good non alcoholic beer.

No such thing.

 

[teuchter]

No such thing.

When it comes to encouraging problem drinking, toxic masculinity and Binge Britain culture, this kind of attitude is much more harmful than a bit of tongue in cheek advertising from Brewdog.

I wouldn't go that far, but it is grim.

Nope. You're the one who is actually paying money to those cunts.

Well well well, who would've thought it:

Oooh someone hasn't read the equality act. Although, this is an interesting point as a medical disability usually results if there is a medical condition that has an impact on daily life and could be expected to last more than 12 months.

So on the one hand, saying it's not a reasonable adjustment might be technically correct, but such an argument to the partner of someone in late pregnancy in a fucking pandemic is the mark of an absolute cunt.

And I'd rather be a touch more generous than thought of as a cunt.

Nonsense. All beer tastes shit. People don't drink it because it tastes nice, they drink it to get pissed, so anyone drinking non alcoholic beer and saying they like it is kidding themself.

I'm just winding up teuchter.

So you thought. In actual fact I was in Marks & Spencer ignoring you, and NoXion got wound up instead.

 

[teuchter]

Nope. You're the one who is actually paying money to those cunts.

I'm actively incentivising them to do socially beneficial things like providing non alcoholic beer. You are perpetuating macho drinking culture, and are even worse than Brewdog themselves.

No you are not. You are directly financing a bunch of cunts. They're not gonna give a shit about you buying non-alcoholic over alcoholic beer. Money is money.

Get some decent tasting non alcoholic beer into my local supermarket that isn't Brewdog, and I'll buy it and finance your morally superior company. Alternatively, continue to criticise from your armchair. I know which option you will choose.

Don't bother offloading your attempts at ethical consumption off on me, you gaslighting piece of shit. Look for your own fun-free pisswater.

I've checked, and you can get two litres of decent-tasting non-alcoholic beer from Tesco for 50p.

Or six cans from Sainsbury's for £1.65. Happy to help.

45p/litre for the more exotic stuff.

[NoXion]

Companies like Brewdog are the reason why bodies like the Advertising Standards Agency need real legal teeth. Because sooner or later you will get a bunch of scumcunts who will try their luck in system relying on honourable behaviour.

I'm quite fond of Fentimans, their ginger beer has quite a kick in my opinion.

Nonsense This is a superb real ale ( Sambrooks Wandle). I am drinking it because it is such a tasty ale, pure nectar. I have no intention of getting pissed.

cranes neck how's the Robert Elms book?

 

[hash tag]

Elms book is ok ta. A slight slog and could be seen as his families biography in relation to London. Some very interesting tid bits though ( because I didn't know them).

Should I sell my Brewdog shares? I got them as a gift. I like their beer. It's arguably the best IPA you can get here on draft.

They’re not listed on an exchange at the moment. I was under the impression this made selling them a weird and faffy process.
Guess it depends how much they’re currently worth (ie. it would take a lot to have a meaningful effect on anything) and how you think they’re likely to move.

Maybe selling them after an exchange listing would optimise the pissing-them-effect.

There are loads of posters on here who know way more about shares than me, so just take this as spitballing.

Post on this thread loads, and start Brewdog arguments on a few other forums too. That will get the share price up a bit - then sell them.

Also if people are trying to avoid alcohol because they're driving 5% is a fair amount.

5% is a reasonably strong lager. If someone is going to drive I suggest they should probably check the percentage of what they’re going to drink. Or not you know by beer that says contains a bit of alcohol.

You really shouldn't drink alcohol and drive. That solves all the problems.
