Contradiction much.

I shouldn't have told you Brewdog were involved and left you enjoying the beers.

Stalker much...

The collab collection are contract manufactured by BD for no profit. The cloudwater stuff is contact manufactured for profit.

The new BD stuff i had, marshmallow laser quest was ste. The cloudwater stuff was flavourless. The collab not for profit was pretty good for the price.

I really don't have to point out the differences do i , SURELY you understand how contract manufctoring works? And not really sure how relevant it is to this thread as well..

Stalker? I just recalled the conversation you had directly with me. How does that make me a stalker? Are you more upset because you look a bit of a prat?

I know how contract brewing and manufacturing works. I was merely pointing out how after knowing the beers were Brewdog how your opinions changed to the exact opposite. As I pointed out in the other thread the beers are exactly what Cloudwater made before, but you didn't realise they made beers under £5.

Just pretty good for the price now? It was the best tasting beers at the price a couple of weeks ago.

Every time Brewdog come up you're bashing them. I'll ask again, why do they upset you so much? I find it really odd how many people passionately hate them, but keep buying their beers to moan.

All the Cloudwater beers are brewed without profit. The company totally against supermarkets, lack of cold storage and willing to put the boot into Brewdog over the latest news, which they knew about for years apparently, are happy for Brewdog to line their pockets by doing everything they opposed. They are the biggest of hypocrites.

God you ae hard work, if you go back to that thread i didn't care if BD brewed them or not, i worked in contract manufactoring so understand working to formulas and recipes. i think you seem to have a chip on your shoulder about something but can't really work it out. i might give this tv show a rewatch see how it has aged.

I'm hard work? I have a chip on my shoulder? I'm a stalker?

Please refrain from the insults. I've simply challenged your opinion and you appear only able to resort to insults and deflection.

I'll ask again. Why every time Brewdog come up you have to keep weighing in with insults? Why do they upset you so much?

You don't like them, but spend a lot of time and interest only finding reasons to criticise them. You're now going to waste another hour watching the same TV programme again? Put your time to something more constructive.

Are you on retainer for Brewdog? Your obsequiousness is saccharine.

I'm merely a little shareholder who appreciates what Brewdog have done for the craft beer industry and what they try to do.

Why does every thread about Brewdog on PH end up with these accusations if you don't join in with the lynch mob? It's not right.

There's a lot of staff that do really enjoy their job. They've come out and said it's the best place they've worked within the industry and did before this storm. Their opinions are just ignored or they've been subject to widespread bullying and threats from the internet warriors that are against Brewdog's alleged culture. Most hated Brewdog before this and are just looking for a reason to pile on again.


The majority of whistleblowers haven't told their stories yet. Some that have come out are what I'd class as trivial matters that are normal in every workplace. The size of the list is also debated. There weren't even doing basic checks and people have signed up with fake profiles just to prove that. There's also friends of friends signing up to offer their backing. It'll not surprise me to find that the people who hate Brewdog have also signed up.

Why do you spend so much time and hold such a negative interest in Brewdog? You've got loads of posts over the forum.

You're just trolling aren't you?

Have a little look at Richard's background. Have a little look at his Twitter postings. The guy is desperately trying to make a name for himself. He's a grade A ahole.

Trolling because you don't believe it. Brewdog as this show has shown 5 years ago was toxic and now pretty much shown to be. I'm not sure how he is making a name of the back of this, i think you are deluded and seem obsessed with defended brewdog like a sycophant.

I don't believe what?

What has been shown? Show me the facts that you are basing your strong opinions on? You must know something to feel this angry on behalf of other people?

The initial response of the owner was very telling and really confirmed to me he was the nutter the letter suggested

I could guess you'd be all over it.

Poor guy not being able to afford his wedding as the scrap value of the gold didn't match up with the valuation.

Wait until the next installment when his fiancee leaves him as the £10k worth of shares he also won doesn't command £10k.

You still haven't answered the questions from yesterday on either of the threads.

The solid gold thing is on the BBC news website now as well.

I wonder if its easier for them just to pay out 15k for each can to save reputational damage

their argument that the can is worth 15k even though its not solid gold is comical

It's not worth £15k. Their way of valuing it is unfair, but neither is judging the value of the can based on the scrap value. It is, or it was, a collector's item as fans do collect their stuff. The £15k is a misleading.

It's still worth a fair amount and the people also got £10k in shares. It wasn't a bad prize and The Sun posting about ruining someone wedding plans was gutter press.

[williamp]

How much would a solid gold can weigh? And what would the value be if it was solid gold- more then £15k I'd bet.

They probably went on the collectors value at £15k, rather then the scrap value. But it does sound misleading...

It was collector's value and the total cost of design and manufacture factored in. They were made by a very reputable company.

Some people did think the can was going to be a solid lump of gold. That would be worth a fortune.
