They do Brewdog Punk IPA at the Beehive now - but at £3.49 - £1.20 more than regular guest ales I shouldn't think it's a big seller. But being pasteurised and on gas it would last for ever. Tank/keg beer has moved on from the days of Watneys Red Barrel though - it's quite palatable.
Let us know what Brewdog charge in their own premises, when it opens!

This outfit is from Croydon. Their website is very ambitious - giving their bank details for donations (they also take donations via Paypal and GoCardless).
The donation page has a promotional video - showing them outside the Ann Summers shop in North End Croydon. Jesus The Answer Campaign
There is a lack of information on the staff however. Unlike my favourite local church - Bishop Climate Ministries, whose bishop hails from Kenya, but managed to acquire a prison sentence for GBH whilst operating as a bouncer in Edinburgh.
It takes all types, but all in all I like to know who I'm dealing with.

It seems like they were after the premises now known as The Rum Kitchen but the deal never went through for some reason.
I'm sure there are insiders on here who can fill in the details.
That was back in 2013.

Life is a horizontal fall.
Ok what's the deal with pay point in Brixton? We can't seem to find anywhere now to top up the key 
Any one know of anywhere hiding out of view?

Those prices look pretty reasonable don’t they?
It’s great that they pay the London Living Wage. I’m sure Brixton residents will support them as a result, because I know that’s really important in terms of where people decide to spend their money.

Here is some context.
Discounted pink beer for women? BrewDog hasn’t gone nearly far enough | Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff
It doesn’t excuse anything but it does help to give a more balanced picture than one might normally see here.
Brewdog may well be the first “nighttime economy” payer of the living wage in Brixton.
Bet all that happens is people whine about their prices.

How about the 'context' of them sacking a worker for going blind? Or their advertising featuring sexy women in stockings standing around them?

Which ones exactly? Like £17 for a 330ml can?

Are you pleased to have another multinational drinking chain moving into Coldharbour Lane?

What bit are you finding complicated?

They're doing one of those dreadful house raffles in Brixton

There are also £3.5 cans.
A menu has expensive items and cheaper items, oh the humanity !

Yes, tiny 330ml ones that work out at nearly £7 for a pint. How about the vast majority of their other beers - aAre those prices 'reasonable' to you? Please tell me.
Those kind of prices may be be fine for the West End but this is in one of the most deprived wards in London where there is real poverty. This is just another example of divisive gentrification.
Packaged drinks are always more expensive than draft by volume.
A menu has some expensive items and some less expensive items - that’s what a menu is - a set of choices.
I wouldn’t drink a 45 pound a litre beer, because it’s probably an 11% imperial porter or something else ludicrous.
You seem to be continually offended that there are expensive things on sale in Brixton.

What percentage of affordable items are on that menu then? What's the cheapest pint?
Don't put words in my mouth, please. I am not happy to see yet another multinational move into Brixton - particularly one that sacks people for going blind - and when those places are unaffordable to a large amount of long term residents, I find nothing to celebrate.
This is what gentrification does: it provides more and more expensive places for well heeled incomers and excludes those who can't afford them - and in time, such places start to dominate the area, leaving more and more people disenfranchised, excluded and/or eventually priced out.
