Brewdog - Beer For Girls

[smpar]

The video on their website actually makes sense; there’s the blue Punk IPA and Pink IPA, but they’re exactly the same on the inside as they believe that we all are. A bit ‘birthday caird pish’, but a valid point in context. If they managed to get exactly that point across in the poster/image advertisement then I doubt there’d be an issue at all, but people can’t be arsed reading or watching anything other than the first glance so Brewdog will be left with the job of explaining the whole thing to those who will have already cried sexism.

Their beer is also very good, I’m not quite understanding the sheer disgust at Punk IPA which is excellent. I do, however, agree with the consensus that all “I only drink craft ales” people are utter c***s.

[welshbairn]

I drink Punk IPA if there's no lager available, or only that vile Innes and Gunn. Not bad.

[Lambie's Pigeon Feed]

The guys are wanks, their pubs are shite and there are much better craft beers our there.

[Bairnardo]

Not sure they can even be considered "craft" producers anymore. Mass produced shite.
Plenty of wee independent brewers in Scotland to get behind.

I recommend Hybrid brewing. Good guys.

[Brother Blades]

Would brewdog not be considered the antithesis of “hipster” now?
Now a huge company with a relatively healthy market share.
If you were into them when they were a real craft brewer and now reject them, then you are a hipster.
I don’t mind their beer, but then again I’d drink turps.

Brewdog is tremendous. Love (most of) their beer. I don’t really care what the owners get up to when I’m having a pint/can/bottle (I’ve never seen any of the promotional videos or whatever).

 

Folk it’s hipster beer, but to me it seems to be hipsterish to say that it’s for hipsters and act like ‘real men’ scorn it and only drink Tennents.

Only thing I hate more than Brewdog is Tennents. Watery pish and overly hoppy pish are both still pish. As has been mentioned, plenty of good breweries producing decent craft beers.

Beer is watery pish. You're watery pish.

I like them too. There is plenty better (Tiny Rebel in Wales for one, Northern Monk in Yorkshire), but the city centre pubs can be an oasis in a desert of crap, less independent,  chain pubs.

[Jamaldo]

Punk IPA is a great beer. I like the other flavours too (apart from the one in the yellow can, which tastes like a shite tennents rip-off).

Obviously too strong for some folk on here [emoji6]

I had drunk their beer a few times, then saw an article on TV about their expansion into the USA. Thought the guys were absolute wanks, and haven't touched the stuff since. Try Williams or Harviestoun beer from Clackmannanshire , the home of Scottish brewing.

[Jambomo]

Winding folk up is what they do, so if this causes a storm I doubt they’ll care.

[Newbornbairn]

Meh. Irn Bru does it so much better.

What's wrong with an expansion in to the USA? Haven't seen the article in question though

The Snowman pishtake was great.

Not a thing, but the guys involved totally scunnered me with their attitude, and seemed very disagreeable people.

That's like people who voted leave because they thought Cameron was a fat smug Tory c**t.

For me it was exactly like the " people you dislike for no apparent reason thread", I took an instant dislike to them. plenty more beers to drink, and they don't need my money, so no loss either way.

I remember years ago having a conversation with someone who had been really into a couple of bands, only to completely hate them once they had managed to do well because they’d “sold out” by getting some kind of deal.

They didn’t like my argument that either you like something or you don’t. It’s no different if they are small-scale or large, otherwise it’s not the actual product you like, it’s whatever you think supporting it at small-scale level says about you.

Funnily enough they didn’t agree [emoji23]

[doulikefish]

Over hyped rubbish beer that has managed to capture the bearded sleeve tattoo market so fair play to them keeping those types out of decent pubs

[eddiemunster]

Many of Tesco own brand "craft" beers are actually made by Brewdog, along the same production lines and only the bottle and label is different, but shhhh they don't like anybody to know that for some reason.

Emperor's new booze.
