[Drinking] Brewdog: hipsters”, “pretentious”, “wankers”, “********s” or simply "full of s**t"?

I just know that for those fanboys old enough. The eighties drink of choice was bottles of Sol with a slice of lime in the neck. Yes I'm looking at you HT.

Nothing illegal I could see so my point remains over their clever marketing.
They are however, not the rebellious, independent anti establishment company they like to market themselves as. No such thing as bad publicity though.

If a tree fell in the middle of a forest and no one was there to hear it , would a Hipster buys its album

I must admit they’ve only ever made me laugh how they upset some people.
Their beers are generally quite splendid though.
You don’t generally like craft beer though do you.
I buy mine from supermarkets and beer sites so the expense factor doesn’t really come in to it with me.

I heard it’s about being a carbon neutral brewery, or similar. As an eco-warrior (and working class socialist) I will watch with interest as I always try and take the carbon neutral option where I can. Isn’t that right [MENTION=1365]Westdene Seagull[/MENTION]?

Looks like you heard right HT

Just caught up with the news. Brewdog are going to be carbon negative. The more beer I drink, the better for the environment. Cool.

I'm a big fan of Brewdog but I understand why they've upset people. From threatening to sue bars with 'punk' in their name to asking people for marketing plans in 'interviews' then using it for themselves without compensating the people.

I’ve heard their explanations on the first count but have no idea on the second count. I shall though read further.

So far nothing to stop me buying copious amounts of their beer.

You’ve confused 2 different stories to make up the second half of your statement.

Does that mean that their beers fall flat ?

I like the beers a lot but not the pubs which are a bit 'hipster' theme bar for my tastes.

(I'm a veggie, have a beard, tattoos, wear RedWing boots and check shirts, make bread, drive a camper, )

Misunderstanding I think, Manifest accepted it wasn’t related and I think are still working with BD.

The American job interview thing was stupid / ridiculous. The candidate tried to invoice BrewDog for her time (and for a gift of cookies!!!) for the interview process

Where’s the evidence Brewdog set up fake job interviews? If you’re going to make such a bold claim at least have some something to back it up.
