18 punk IPA for £15.
Even better brewdog PSA...
0 Punk IPA for £0
Nice, I like the punk ipa.
Having a break from them at the momemt as the ipa causes a gout flare up. Good price though
I do like Punk IPA but BrewDog's shenanigans e.g. marketing scams, bullying, gold cans etc. makes me think I don't want to give those idiots a penny. I'd rather buy local beer or beer from people who aren't bullshitting bullies etc.
Pretty sure BrewDog has been cancelled on STW.
Other PSA
16x Vocation Life or Death for £20 on Amazon
Whilst I'm not really a fan of the guy who runs the company, if the stuff tasted good then I'd probably ahem swallow my scruples......but its awful! Tastes like fizzy pop
So my PSA would be 6 x Punk IPA for £0 Free to collector. Left in my fridge by a New Years Eve guest who did the classic turn up with some shite and drink all my good stuff.........
Slightly off topic, HUKD had the brew dog advent calendar so 24 mixed cans for £19.99 delivered by Discount Dragon,
Plumped for a pack so I can take beers to friends houses when they have parties.
Then drink their nice stuff…
😂😂😂
Vocation life and death better than any brew dog even the proper original Elvis juice
Vocation over Brew Dog every time.
Buy direct from the brewery; their imperial kirsch is sublime - and 11%!
Pretty sure BrewDog has been cancelled on STW.
I must've missed the memo. People can choose who they give their money to, it's not like there's a shortage of craft breweries.

Yup. I avoid Brewdog for all of those reasons. Plenty of better options out there.
As above.
Would leave a bad taste.

Yeah, this, plus the beer tastes like petrol.
Do you like Lilt ?
Do you like beer ?
Why not try their lovechild....
I’ve liked BD since day 1 and still drink their beer (never have to buy it though, seems to be the default beer choice for me for chrimbo presents etc 😂) but agree they’re too big for their boots now & would rather support smaller/local breweries. (Plus the sharp business practices & actions of JW are not cool.)
I remember when their “Abstrakt” range was genuinely pushing the boundaries of beer, doesn’t seem to be a thing any more - why is it when breweries get bigger they actually take less risks & just concentrate on making money I.e. beers that sell not experimental/fun stuff? You’d think it would be the other way around!
(The same thing might happen to Vocation one day, although I hope not!)
Vocation Hop Skip and Juice is very nice, bought a four back just this weekend gone. Fairly crazy money on draft though, luckily I’m mid-way between their bars in Halifax and Hebden, but £6.30/pint is a bit rich for me.
Bread & Butter, that’s my go to from Vocation.
Or Crush Hour
Heart & Soul too
And Day Trip
@rockhopper70 - if you're local you could pop up to Craggs business park and go to Little Valley brewery. They're really nice people and make great beer in bottles, 9L or 18L boxes.
I know you can get some of their beers in supermarkets but at the brewery you can easily get all of them. Hebden's Wheat is a cracker!
Not only does it taste like piss but the owner is a dick
Sainsburys also sell tempest. Regular supporter of tweedlove and a company run by an avid mtb’er. And imo it tastes much better as well. A much better choice
EL, I didn’t know they had a shop up there, but I’ve had their Tod Blonde and rather enjoyed it. I may need to call in next time I’m at Craggies.
If you get a box of any 12 beers it's roughly the same cost as the supermarkets and all the money goes to them
Not only does it taste like piss but the owner is a dick
Beautifully put 🙂
the owner is a dick
I'm guessing you haven't seen his announcement in the past day or so?

BD too sweet for me - tastes like alcopops!

I've just looked for it, and see that he's announced that he's got autism/aspergers/ADHD. Whilst those are very real conditions that can compromise judgement and behaviour in social situations, it is also entirely possible to have those conditions and still be a dick, the former doesn't necessarily excuse (or even explain, however convenient that might be) the latter. See, also, Mr E Musk.
I guess that's a reference to how he's going to exploit his self-proclaimed ADHD diagnosis?

Witty AND pithy! I particularly like the clever play on words. 😀
The beer that always amazes me as to its popularity is Beavertown. It's owned and mass produced by Heineken but still commands a higher price as if it's something a bit special and niche.

It was bought over by Heineken. Prior to that it was a small independent company.
Right. But now it isn't? 😂 I think is the point.Prior to that it was a small independent company.
Neck Oil seems to be everywhere now, I like it though its my default on tap choice in the absence of Vocation. I do buy Brewdog for home mostly TBH, Mainly cos its good value, nice (IMO) and I'm poor. I know the owner a dick but many succesful things are owner by dicks its the way of the world.

They have a sale for the next week as well.
Some fairly hefty discounts
Right. But now it isn’t? 😂 I think is the point.
Dunno, if it still tastes better than average then I guess it justifies a higher price.
I’ve succumbed to the Vocation sale,
Basket was £63, but even as I procrastinated over other types, two went out of stock and out of my basket, so I’ve pulled the trigger on £53 basket. Nice free gift pint glass included.
I do like some of the Vocation stuff ... and...
Do you like Lilt ?
Do you like beer ?
Why not try their lovechild….
Well I think I'm gonna have to sample that!
Some moaning fannies on here christ, if you don't like it don't buy it , if I avoided every company that had a dick as a boss I'd never get anything done
@firestarter - the BrewDog guy is a proper bellend. Probably only peak O'Leary at RyanAir was worse.
Beerhawk do some pleasing (to me) mixed cases,
The last one had vocation as a substitute.
Oakham citra ipa ftw

As for Brewdog, James is a bit of a dick, but being party to additional info as a shareholder the company is doing more stuff right - and that shows in some of staff surveys etc that have come out recently.
Agree that some of the beer tastes rubbish, some of it's lovely, but even as a shareholder I went with a different brewery's advent offering last year (Tiny Rebel fwiw).
Not had much Vocation beer, but it seems to feature heavily in my local Tesco so I'll take a look.
Might have a crack at Turning Point's monthly beer club too.
If anyone owns the shares, I would recommend selling if you have the opportunity before everyone realizes the consequences of the venture capital investment.
