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

[8ball]

I saw that but it sounds like it could be over-hopped and sour. Is it?

I can't stand sour/citrussy lager.

They have some interesting guest beers on there too. I'm intrigued by Unlike Stars at 6.8% if only to find out what a 7 quid tin of beer tastes like!

4 Hopmen is an IPA. It's very nicely balanced and not aggressively hopped in the way Punk IPA is.
Guardian Of The Forest is also really nice.

Order a mini-keg of each and you get free delivery (I'm not on commission).

Pretty much agree...with the exception of some fine bottle conditioned ales like my current fave:

500ml of 6.5% ABV for £1.50 (on the corporate retailers' 4 for £6 offer).

Can get 4 of those for £7 at the Co op down the road (and do. a little too frequently )

Ale of the gods.

It was the original punk IPA that got me hooked. I love the hoppyness and citrus flavours. Sitting in the hot Andalucían summer a couple of glasses were perfect. It works well with a few tapas.

I see Lidl are selling Brewdog beers now. I think I might try a few. Thanks thread.

And infused with the sweet essence of the sweat and tears of the workers they bullied, harassed and intimidated. Deeeelicious!

I bought shares because I like the beer.

That's certainly why I buy them.

Of course; at least you're an honest cunt.

I thought people bought them to help out struggling companies. Every day's a school day

I agree. I think there might be some mileage in keeping them for a few years.

How's GameStop doing these days, by the way?

Ffs dessiato are you trolling the thread on purpose or just being stunningly naive?

You should talk to a doctor about this problem with your sense of taste

It's not an ideal investment strategy but there are plenty of reasons to get into Brewdog (in a small way, imo). The obvious one is the potential for the IPO which may or may not happen. He's not going to lose substantially over 2 or 3 years and he could potentially make a lot. It's a fun stock to do with a few spare quid. No point in sticking it in the bank at the moment.

(this is not advice), I have always chosen ethical funds. Someone making ground source pumps or similar might be worth a punt at the moment. That said, and I'm sure Does would go along with this, I've "invested" in a rare modern classic (car). Something to really enjoy and maybe get a return on.

 

[On Fire]

Brewdog beer tastes bad, it must be said. That taste issue must be a serious issue in attempts to grow the company.

I've had some nice ones. Punk IPA is a little obnoxious, granted.

A " future" classic?

Aye. Brewing from a garage in Scotland to a £2bn company, 2 of the country's best selling ale brands, and 80 bars in 9 countries, in 13 years.

The beer certainly seems to have hamstrung their growth!

 

[hitmouse]

The ASA can't impose any kind of penalty directly. They can tell them to not do it again and their punishment can be "bad publicity" from the ruling. Of course Brewdog are more than capable of turning that publicity into something that benefits them so I doubt they will be bothered at all about this.

Wait, so there's literally no punishment of any kind for blatant false advertising? Interesting. In other news, does anyone want to invest in my new Equity For Crusties scheme, where you send me £50 every month and in return you get a bottle of Buckfast made from solid gold worth a million pounds?

the greatest division on urban isn't between leavers and remainers, it's not between terfs/terf allies and trans/trans allies, it's not even between beans first or cheese first - it is between people who like brewdog and their overhopped piss and those who can't stand them or their beer

Has urban's valiant defender of hopeless causes farmerbarleymow ever expressed an opinion on this issue, or does fbm feel that seagulls and wasps are one thing, but brewvermin are a step too far?

Seagulls and wasps have redeeming features. Brewdog OTOH...

I'm self-employed and registered as a private company which I own by mean of shares which were created (magically) when the company was set up, I also pay myself a salary so I am in the somewhat incestuous position of selling my own labour to myself which I then exploit to pay dividends to myself.
I have some Halifax shares which I acquired when they demutualised since I had a mortgage with them at time, still got them they pay out about £25 per annum
My son is in the company share scheme where he works, whatever you opinions on such things it's way more profitable than saving in the bank most of the deposit for the house he and his girlfriend have just bought came out of that.

It wasn't an opinion.

He's referring to your silly moralising rather than the statement quoted, and of course he's right.
