After Brewdog's latest spat with the Portman Group I put a poll on my blog asking if it was all bluster or if they really were prepared to take a financial hit. It was pointed out that there could well be commercial reasons for wanting that beer out of supermarkets anyway, which rather made the poll redundant.
Still, it was interesting to see that only one person who voted thought Brewdog were fine upstanding men of principle, and everyone else though they were unscrupulous scoundrels. Perhaps it's time for Brewdog to drop the revolutionary rhetoric and re-brand themselves as the Gorodon Gekkos of beer.
With a pub franchise, some of their beers being discounted in supermarkets and so on, and so on, are there still people who truly believe any of BrewDog's punk bollocks? Unfortunately, the answer is yes, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.
