Personally I wouldnt touch them with a 100 foot bargepole, but thats as I think their beer tastes like utter s
t and has a horrible aftertaste.
beer should taste like beer, not horrible weirdness with a nasty aftertaste.
that is just my opinion and i know others might like brewdogs offering, but I would rather drink my own piss if dying of thirst than drink that crap and i have tryed most of there stuff, 'just the once'.

Not a fan of the beer personally, it's too contrived much like the bar (in Aberdeen). Staff are mostly rude and object to serving a full pint in a pint glass.
However, buying shares in a commercial enterprise should be based on the financial gain, right? I which case they're probably worth a punt.

Don't know anything about the share issue but here in Singapore and other Asian markets Brew Dog is a very trendy beer to be seen with. What is the share offer ? Link anyone.
There is a link on their website.Thanks for all the responses.
It is a financial decision, but interesting to get feedback on how they are viewed.
Their growth has been very good over the last few years, just need to decide if they have peaked or onwards and upwards.
As an investment I think they are an interesting proposition.
Trendy brewery.
Done well.
Very desirable to be seen with a pint of the stuff, regardless of whether it tastes good or not.
They have two options;
1. Stay small = no increase in profits in the future.
2. Get much bigger, much more commercial, therefore lose the trendy edge to a new small start-up if they don't manage to go bankrupt in the process.
Do you know anything about the brewing industry? I know very little, and like the old adage of only investing in things you understand.
Oli.

I drink lots of beer.
As I said, the benefits are good, in terms of discounts etc and not looking to put a huge amount of money in.
But they appear to have some good USP's in the variety of beers they brew, and also some interesting tie ups with overseas brewers.
But in terms of investments, I have made a shed load of money in the past on oil exploration companies, I know even less about that.

I'm also contemplating a small investment as I was annoyed I missed out on the last round of shares. It may be worth the investment for access to their AGM alone, a few beers and music with the chance of make a small amount of money. Might be worth a punt.
I thought that, bit of a trek for me though. No brainer for you.If you do buy shares, view them as a discount card for the bars and webshop. They aren't an investment, the real value of the shares is slightly less than two parts of bugger all and, they won't ever increase in real value.
But, if you use their bars or online shop lots then yes, you could earn the money you spent back, and more.

This is where I am a newbie.But, if you use their bars or online shop lots then yes, you could earn the money you spent back, and more.
If brewdog are about to expand into other global markets with their bars and sales increase, why wouldn't the share price increase?
Let's assume the business grows, would the share price not?

Did anyone buy any shares as they seem to be doing rather well now - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-30376484
We've had one open up last year less 5 mins walk from my flat in Battersea and its excellent with 24 different beers on tap. Current favourite is a Belgian style blonde beer brewed in America called Horny Devil at £4 a 1/3 Pt but its 11% I think. Well worth a visit if you have one near by.

Very interesting business concept but sustainable I think not. The crowd funding idea and branding are good for the short term. Unfortunatly the beer is too quirky to stand the test of time and the pubs similar in my opinion.
Of course people have made £££££ out of it, as was the case with many a short term phonomenon. Not a pool I would like to swim in.

They are still tiny (a fraction of a percent of the UK market) so there is plenty of space in the premium beer market for them and other small brewers. They've just done a deal to sell their lager in every Wetherspoons so that should be a big increase in volume, and a mainstream enough drink for anyone except for those that only drink whatever is cheapest or want no flavour at all (admittedly that's a large chunk of the volume market)As for the pubs, I'd agree they will not find a market in every town in the country, but should be able to survive in most of the big cities if they evolve over time and remain interesting places to drink.
