I like their IPA’s Hazy Jane is lusherooney.
Don’t care for the lost lager mind, shite.

Thought that was the case when I was looking at it last night, disgraceful.

Try Salt Jute or Northern Monk Eternal - same style as Hazy Jane but better.

I quite like the beers. Cheap in the supermarkets so decent fridge fillers. Ridiculous prices in the bar though. Think cheapest pint was 5.95 when in the other week.
Seems to be a few accusations going round different breweries at the moment. Quite a few about sexism and Marble brewery’s CEO resigned recently.
don’t think James watts response is the best like. No doubt they’ll look to make a beer out of this

They were somewhat the first UK company to ramp up craft beer production when it was taking off, and grabbed a major slice of the market share.
Their beers are ok. Most people, including me, have only sampled a tiny fraction of their range - so I assume they have better beers than I actually know. Sometimes having too much options is a bad thing, because you don't know where to start.
But still, fairly ordinary, reasonably priced, but apparently a shit house of a company.

When you have 900 employees it must be a concern when 105 of your now former employees feel strongly enough about something that they're prepared to go public.
I have to also say that having been employed within one or two rotten company cultures over the years it ultimately usually ends badly for the employer.

Not 100% sure they've done it but I'm sure I read they were planning on reducing the abv of Punk as well.
Done months ago. Saves them an absolute fortune in duty. 5.4% now.

Only noticed that last week when I had a 660 ml bottle in a pub, thought it was them brewing different strengths for different outlets, didn't know it was a wholesale change.
I've been quite a fan of Brewdog over the years, aye gimmicky, but not a bad place to go for different beers without being overwhelmed. Was just in the Ncl one last week, was nice to be back.
Having done over 25 years in JIT Automotive, I always look at claims of bullying, aggressive cultures and wonder, without making an excuse for it as it's clearly wrong, whether it's as bad as it's made out, or we're just a lot less tolerant these days.

read an interview with then few years ago, posh people, i'm out. plus their beers are too strong, designed for people who go out and have one pint.

I used to drink Punk IPA quite a lot. Then probably about a year or so ago just decided it was shit and I could barely finish a can.
No poos.
I actually make gravy for meat pies and sauces if there’s a beer or wine I don’t like. I don’t like waste but there was a couple of chocolate porters and really dark stuff that went down the sink

Aye I've went off it having loved it for a while.
If it was one or 2 I would agree but there’s loads of examples.
I struggle to see how a problem at the brewery would manifest itself in a retail outlet miles away mind. Can a company be poisonous as opposed to individuals?
It comes from the top. If they encourage it and make it acceptable, it'll manifest itself in every area of the business.
The people who speak up are marginalised and therefore the only way to progress is to buy into it. Amazing how many people will sell their souls for a promotion.
The whole place sounds toxic and I'm not sure it can change.

Expensive piss that gives me rotten hangovers for some strange reason, I avoid them now!
Had six small cans one night and work up feeling like I’d been in @the dark one bar and sank 12 pints of Peroni

Makes sense. I think I'd probably avoid IPAs or lighter ones. Mild, Bitter, Stout and Porter you might be ok with.
Except chocolate as mentioned.
Unless you were making a questionable pudding

That response is just gaslighting. “We aren’t bullying you, its just that you are all weak”

Exactly the same here. I wondered why for ages, now I'm starting to wonder if it's changed a lot since years ago because I really liked it at one point.
