BrewDog CEO brings prosecution against a woman for ‘fraud

  1. Brewdog management are so fucking nasty. Some of the things you hear about how they treat their employees are appalling. And their beer is garbage too

  2. The only time I ever hear about this company is when they’re doing something shady. BrewDog is just as low as your banks and energy companies except they’re not pretending to be counterculture

  3. Met him years ago. Told him his pub was just a pub.
    He got quite agitated as he believed what they were doing was revolutionary. Told him it was just a pub.

  4. Fuck me its amazing that any beer gets brewed at that place. I bet his/brewdogs legal team out numbers the brewers by 10:1.

  5. Interesting timing how this is only a day after his announcement to give staff 20% of his stake. Wonder if they were trying to avert eyes?

  6. Fully recommend watching Disclosure’s [documentary](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0013yfj/disclosure-series-4-the-truth-about-brewdog) on BrewDog.

    One of the ‘funnier’ parts of the documentary is when it comes out that the CEO, who has previously banned alcohols owned by the Heineken brand due to their not-being-an-independent-brewery nature, himself owns stocks in Heineken.

    I’ve heard rumours for quite some time that BrewDog is a shitty company and since then (+ esp. since the docu.) I just refuse to buy their beers, go to their bars, and tell other people to actually support other, independent/local breweries. There’s so many more options.

  7. I got fucking sacked from a Brewdog pub as a cleaner because of some little cunt on here getting upset when I called him out on his bullshit after I asked a question about something. I foolishly put the pub location I worked at and the prick reported me. Next thing I know I’m fucking fired.

  8. >She was granted bail with no restrictions.

    Does that imply that there was a possibility that she could have been held in custody? Because a member of the public decided to bring a criminal case against her?

  9. My wife won a Brewdog competition last year, “Free beer for a year”. Basically, they’d launched an absurdly expensive subscription club and she won a year’s free subscription.

    Prior to this, neither of us ever really gave Brewdog much thought. As she nears her last box, it’s pretty fair to say that neither of us will ever knowingly pay them a penny.

    Of the ten months since they finally got around to sending her the first box, *one* month has seen them send it out without her having to chase them. One. Every other month she’s had to open yet another ticket to remind them, and every month they say something along the lines of “oh, sorry, for some reason the system hasn’t allocated you an account”, and then they don’t set up an account. Or they say they have, all evidence of it disappears.

    The beers aren’t even that good. I mean, the guest ones are fine, and some of the Brewdog ones are ok, but I’m fucked if I’d pay £25 a month for four average pints.

    I’ve genuinely never experienced a company as useless as Brewdog, and I’m with Virgin Media.
