Jeremy Clarkson to give away 1,000 free kegs of beer to struggling pub owners

1. Could he spare one for me? My family is starving with how much I’m spending on kegs of beer

2. Great way to help out struggling breweries that don’t have their own estates to sell through.

3. Probably a bit late for the excellent pub down the road that shuttered a few months after he moved his travelling circus in.

4. Can someone please explain why this is actually a really terrible thing for him to do?

5. I know everyone reckons it’s an inheritance tax dodge but he’s done a lot of decent stuff with this farm.

6. Basically it’s a way to get his beer into other pubs if people like it they will ask for it regularly – a taster for mode I reckon – smart move plus tax avoidance

7. But I thought the recent inheritance tax changes on farmland left you bereft?

8. Hi Jeremy, the pub in my house is really struggling and I could do with a keg or two.

   Tah

9. He could give 2,000 kegs away and he’d still be a wanker.

10. Sounds like we need to be drinking beers at struggling pubs to do our part! Buy local buy beer!!

11. How are the comments here actually giving off about giving away free beer.

12. ‘Charity is a cold, grey, loveless thing. If a rich man truly wants to help the poor he would pay his taxes gladly, not dole out money on a whim.’

    – Clement Attlee.

13. Could he shove them up his fat fucking arse instead? Would make great TV.

14. This is nothing more than clever marketing.

    He wants his beer to be sold in other pubs so he wants them to try it, this is simply a ‘try before you buy’ hoping to secure regular orders.

    Charity it is not.

15. A poor attempt to make up for gaslighting everyone about his tax fiddle and being a bellend.

16. It’s genuinely very good beer. I think pubs are going to be surprised how well it sells.

17. Love him or hate him, at least he’s helping out our pub owners who really are struggling.

18. Amazing. Give out your own beer “for free” to open a market for the pubs to buy more at a later time. Advertising based on exploiting struggling businesses.

    What a cunt.

19. 1000 kegs isn’t as many as you think. Small pubs will go through 5 to 10 kegs in a week.

    So a singular keg going to a pub will likely last one Friday night. ( a keg is about 88 minus pints; minus wastage, so this could be used up by 20 odd people averaging to 4 pints)

    So this whilst a nice gesture is like sending someone a sample pack size of a product.

20. A free keg of beer represents a tiny amount of money in the scheme of things. This is just marketing masquerading as good deed

21. Ahhhh he’s learnt a thing or two from Nestle I see.

22. It’s either a marketing stunt, or his beer is so bad he needs to give it away

23. He said he was going to do this months ago and licencees heard no more about it..

24. I’m a struggling pug owner, can I please have 1,000 free kegs of beer?

25. What’s the catch? Do we have to get in a car with him while he does his thing & yell power!!!!!

26. I first read this as Jeremy Corbyn and just thought, that warm piss real ale, can’t even give it away.
