  1. “Crap beer”. Never impressed by their bland junk. Now I despise them for a much more serious reason.

  2. That really is a shame, especially when the prices aren’t the cheapest.

  3. How shocking that the awful bastards at Brewdog are awful bastards.

  4. Will they top up wages with “equity for punks” in true BD wankshaft style?

  5. Sounds like they are full corporate now

    Edit: And more like crafty beer

  6. Not that it’s an excuse for poor financial management but the RLW has risen by over 20% in the past two years – yes, that keeping pace (mostly) with CPI but if you are shit at running a business, you could get caught out by that. Bear in mind that your income has to match your outgoing and putting prices up is not an easy decision.

    Mind you, Brewdog seem pretty cunty.

    The RLW is calculated using a number of things, but is heavily weighted towards consumer end price increases. Now, I see the logic in that because it’s in the name but you have to admit that setting wage levels based on prices set by (profit taking) supermarkets will create a feedback loop. It’s not great.

  7. Who could have possibly guessed. People are probably buying less of their heavily manufactured pish and buying local instead so the sleazy CEO’s need to cut costs.

  8. Then I will abandon giving them any of my money. Not that I ever did I think it tastes like piss.

    My brother loves the stuff and it’s his birthday this weekend. Cunt’s getting a 12-pack of Desperados.
