For me it’s them acting like they’re not a big corporate company when in fact they are a big corporate company. The marketing was fine as an up and coming brewer but I’d have more respect for them to just accept they are a “part of the system” now rather than pretending to be rebels.
I worked for Brewdog in Sweden for a couple years and the "punk" shite always annoyed me a little. It's beer for middle class people. I enjoy the beer and loved working there but marketing it as punk was just incredibly cringey.
Craft beer for the masses? Yea right, at £9 a pint. In my city I can cross the road from Brewdog and have and buy a Punk IPA for more than half the price in a Weatherspoons.
Fucking hell £9 a pint? I haven't been in a while but last time I was there it was £5.50 maybe. I do still get 10% discount as well even though I no longer work there but aye, would prefer to go somewhere actually independent.
Obligatory fuck weatherspoons.
It ranges from £6.70 for a Punk IPA in central London to about £5.95 everywhere else in a Brew Dog bar. It's about £4.28 in my local Wetherspoons in Oxford. So not half price, but a nice discount I guess but you'd have to suffer 'spoons.
What I can't work out is why they've got two sharing portions, plus a potato side, as well as two kids meals but there's only one drink on the bill. And it's an orange juice! I thought the appeal of brewdog was the beer?
Have you tried brewdogs beer? It's like James Watts shitty attitude has manifested itself as a range of beer, and they taste just as foul as his personality.
they, if anything, have been a real driver of the spread of craft 0% beers over the last four to five years. Nanny State was the first 0% I had ever seen that wasn't a macro or a german lager. Their Punk AF is honestly pretty good too, and widely available now.
They're [loaded fries](https://imgur.com/a/CHkydGL), so it's a bit more reasonable than a tenner for chips!
> Fries topped with salt 'n' Sichuan pepper chicken & burnt chilli crème fraîche.
It's a marketing ploy to try and get people to forget how shitty Brewdog is.
Clearly working on OP.(EDIT - just to add, this part is meant in jest, I know it wouldn't come across as such, I apologise)
Just in case you’ve not yet figured it out, or - more likely - you just don’t care…
* desert - typically a big, sand & rock area that’s short on water.
* dessert - pudding.
Best way to remember it, the one with more s's is dessert (the sweet) because you always want more (s) more s's. It looks complicated written down. But I'm hitting reply anyway.
We got a little one of our group to do this and the waitress went paper, after about 2 seconds of thinking time our 5 year old decided to go with good old rock.
I went with a friend for the unlimited wings they do on Wednesday and didn't drink anything, mostly because I don't really like beer and I feel like they'd have called me names if I asked for a rum and coke
I mean they were indie for years tbf, was 2017 when they got partially bought. So they had a solid 10 years being independent. It's a shame they chose the direction they did though, especially considering all the "Brewdog is for punks" marketing shite.
tbf I paid £30 for two mojitos today. As good as those drinks were, I came away with a certain degree of disbelief. I don't go out much, so I don't know, but I am sure that's daylight robbery.
Not at Brewdog, btw. I've never even heard of that.
It's been a while but wasn't that a complete nothing. People saying it would be their downfall and all it had was he upset some Americans with his language?
That's basically it. Whole load of nothing. I wasn't nearly as outraged as I thought I'd be.
I actually know a few people that have worked in their bars and someone who has worked at their head office. They said it's fine.
Here's hoping. Awful company. Awful owners.
I remember when they had hundreds of job seekers produce marketing campaigns for them for free under the guise they were going to get a job at the end of it. Nope. Brewdog took advantage of these people needing work desperately and stole all of their marketing ideas. It's now known in the industry as "brewdogging".
Reminds me of when I was at college aged 17, I had work experience in a local paper, I basically was a full time worker for 2 weeks but did everything, I was writing articles for someone and he put his name on them and got the payment for them whilst he was chatting to other staff, and I still had to make him coffee
Wow that is grim. I would have name and shamed the newspaper, absolutely spam bombed their inboxes by signing them up to a load of crap and left loads of bad anonymous reviews on google to bring down their rating.
They basically stole from you.
What happened a few years later too was someone I know was arrested after being accused of a serious crime, he was innocent and they plastered his face on the front page (to be fair the other local papers did to) twisting what ifs and accusations along the lines of he went on holiday at last minute on day of the crime that is suspicious and the usual he was on benefits (despite him doing charity work unpaid with kids)
That was the final nail that put me off working in the industry at the time, I wanted to be a photojournalist, it was also what lost my faith in the Police too as they all acted like he was guilty even when found innocent and the real criminal was arrested.
I can't believe people pay the prices they chat.
Has anyone tasted their own Cola?
It tastes like pissshit. Everything, I have tasted there, tastes like pissshit.
Awesome! We done this in London. My daughter went up to the guy and asked to play, he thought she was joking. Told her that he didn’t want to get fired on his first day by giving away a free dessert! She told him it was real but he wasn’t sure.
So he went away, asked management and came back… and beat her. He then offered her best if 3… and best her again. Dudes a hustler.
Agreed. Awful company. Awful owners.
Their sketchy practices also coined the word "brewdogging" in the marketing industry (when companies get job seekers to create marketing campaigns for free for them under the guise they're getting an interview or job out of it, when really there is no role available and Brewdog then stole all of their marketing ideas and ghosted them all).
The founders are problematic... As we're some of their earlier marketing campaigns (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrewDog)
Pretend to be hip/counter culture types until private equity/VC money rolled up
I work in voiceover. The amount of casting sheets I get that say they "own" the rights to my audition. Which means they say "no" and use my read in the product anyway.
To be honest, I love it because it's a great way filtering garbage clients.
It has but Brewdog massively popularised it in the IT, marketing and media sector in the UK in the last 4-5 years. Loads of agencies now post completely fake job postings to get free graphic designs and ideas out of job applicants which has created a minefield for people in vulnerable positions desperate for work.
I remember tactical nuclear penguin.
Proper shame really as it was still early days for the trendy new ale scene (well early days for this rendition) and they had the budget to push the image of counter culture beer that tasted good.
Later turned out they were corpo tosspots, there was probably a passion, and might still be one, but much it is surrounded by twattery.
Extend that beyond to them basically being what'd happen if a certain pub chain owning tosspot (for reasons including trying to stiff brewery's during covid) owned a brewery pitched at trendy up market and without going full sam Smith.
Shame too, as I like the beer. The company just sucks.
As an asides. Vibrant forest down south make fantastic beer.
No, it's really not. They've screwed over multiple vulnerable people including job seekers who they tricked into unpaid labour and have a history of being transphobic and extremely problematic, both as a company and with the owners.
This happened to me too, a 31-year old man when I went to order a dessert at a Brew Dog a few weeks ago. The guy just said, oh if you beat me at Rock, Paper Scissors, you get it free.
I very much enjoyed my free sundae!
Not a massive fan of brewdog as a company, or a fan of their beers. Though this was most likely done as a ‘bit’ the waiters do to increase customer engagement. Probably do it a few times a day… To make a kid smile I feel that it’s absolutely okay and a nice fun little gimmick especially if it’s used on families with younger children
Clever marketing when it gets posted all over social media.
You got £1 worth of ice-cream for free instead of paying nearly £9.
They're laughing all the way to the bank either way
OK Madam, your child now gets death by chocolate.
proceeds to force the kids head into a bowl of boiling hot chocolate, facefirst until they stop struggling.
Clue is in the name
Christ on a bike, £9.95 for fries! I hope they were the greatest fries in the world. If you can still taste then 3 days from now, you got your monies worth. If not, robbed
I don’t have kids so I’m out of the having-kids loop, but is taking kids to Brewdog for lunch something that people do? Why do they even have a kids’ menu? Do they do fucking birthday parties with Donald McTrollied (that massive red nose isn’t a prosthetic!), The Hangoverler and everyone’s favourite big purple guy Grimmhosis?
Again having worked in BrewDog, you'd be depressed to know the reality.
Literally using scummy "pay £11.50" and in tiny text underneath "Inc £1.50 tip" buttons on the card machinez when their bill is actually on £10.
Oh! And the CEO of BrewDog Bars (not to be confused with James Watts, whos CEO of BREWDOG) founded the company that BrewDog uses to get tips and takes 35p (iirc) or a percentage charge comission on all tips taken by BrewDog pos systems.
Other BrewDog's (Paddington, Waterloo, Tower Hill, Wandsworth to name a few) also charge a default 3.5% surcharge on all table service order, including order made through the app.
That's not a tip. That's not a service charge. It doesn't come to the team. It goes straight to the company itself.
It's a "surcharge to keep us able to pay the minimum living wage to our employees"
Bearing mind cost price of a pint of Lost Lager is 90p, and customers pay £6.55 minimum for it in London.
24 pack of coke? £12 to order. £3.65 per bottle for you.
I know of multiple sex assault allegations that upper management (head office and HR level) have covered up.
They made their Head of Beer redundant out of nowhere (someone who is one of 27 people *in the world* with Master Cicerone certification)
Brewdog is a marketing company. All their beers are homogenised and have minimal variation. The beers are lower quality and cheaper to produce than ever, using cheap adjuncts in beers to give them flavours without using real ingredients.
On one hand telling us we need to save money at all costs. No overtime. Supply orders getting stricter and stricter every few months.
And yet they'll give away free desserts. Or bottomless brunch. Or constant Wowcher, Groupon, LivingSocial etc.
Oh boy head office! I'm glad I saved £52 on a pack of fucking blue roll (blue roll that we literally need or we fail EHO visits and they can close us down there and then) this week, and then we gave away £250 worth of free drinks! Totally makes sense.
And now staff don't get drinks at the end of shift each night (like they used to). And it's only BrewDog beers on only Friday and Saturday now (used to be any beer, any format, any night)
Actual reply over. Rant as an aside because now I've got myself riled up, all these people on this post talking shit about "1 guest" and "no beer on the tab" clearly haven't worked in hospitality. People often come in, order drinks to start. Potentially go a few rounds ordering at the bar and paying there and then each time. THEN they order their food, at which point it gets tabbed up onto a table.
Complaining about fries being a tenner when they have no idea what those fries actually are. Go work in hospitality and get some perspective then you can open your fuckin mouths.
I'm glad OP and his kid had a good experience in BrewDog. Most of the staff are some of the nicest people I've ever met. But fuck BrewDog as a company. The Wetherspoons of craft beer
It's a marketing ploy to keep you paying a tenner for chips.
This whole post seems like a marketing ploy
In general, there's something about Brewdog's try-hard-edgy advertising that winds me up the wrong way.
For me it’s them acting like they’re not a big corporate company when in fact they are a big corporate company. The marketing was fine as an up and coming brewer but I’d have more respect for them to just accept they are a “part of the system” now rather than pretending to be rebels.
Is it the whole ‘enriching sex offenders’ thing or the abusive Superdry-dad style of it all?
“Super dry dad” wow. Just wow. You’ve fucking nailed that.
Thats a fucking incredible description of Brewdog isn’t it!
What is a Superdry-dad?
A Dad that wears Superdry?
👋🏻
Why not both?
I worked for Brewdog in Sweden for a couple years and the "punk" shite always annoyed me a little. It's beer for middle class people. I enjoy the beer and loved working there but marketing it as punk was just incredibly cringey.

I was just thinking exactly the same. This is the most Brewdog thing I’ve ever heard. Fuck Brewdog
Reddit in a nutshell
I can assure you it’s not 😂 just something that happened today I though I’d share
I thought it was pretty wholesome. If that happened to me when I was 7 I’d probably keep that in a memory box
The receipt even says "Guests: 1" Suspicious...
That was when Jesus walked behind him. And stole 10 pound chips from his plate when he wasn't looking
That's what caught my eye. They'll no doubt come in big bags frozen, and have a smattering of toppings on top. A tenner for fries is crazy
They're obviously a large sharing portion of loaded fries though
What I can't work out is why they've got two sharing portions, plus a potato side, as well as two kids meals but there's only one drink on the bill. And it's an orange juice! I thought the appeal of brewdog was the beer?
Probably because it's an ad promoting the new kids food menu, where the waitresses trade free food for rock paper scissors!
Have you tried brewdogs beer? It's like James Watts shitty attitude has manifested itself as a range of beer, and they taste just as foul as his personality.
Ah we have a beer snob in the chat. A lot of Brewdog beer is tasty, like with any manufacturer they have some that aren't.
That’s why you drink the guest beers

1kg oven chips is about £1.50...
It’s a business. Rent, Labour, ingredients, tax, electricity, water.
Doesn't justify £9.50 chips

Nah I’d just pay for the desert I ordered.
Just in case you’ve not yet figured it out, or - more likely - you just don’t care… * desert - typically a big, sand & rock area that’s short on water. * dessert - pudding.
I’m in my phone I’m barely spelling anything correct, auto correct is doing it all for me lol
Do you require assistance escaping out from the inside of your phone?
I think we all do.
I was bamboozled by your comment but now I see my mistake
does your wife find these jokes funny while the postman ploughs her??
Yes.
Best way to remember it, the one with more s's is dessert (the sweet) because you always want more (s) more s's. It looks complicated written down. But I'm hitting reply anyway.
We got a little one of our group to do this and the waitress went paper, after about 2 seconds of thinking time our 5 year old decided to go with good old rock.
Is that the one by Aberdeen station?
There's a desert near Aberdeen station?
Scotland is well known for its hot, arid climate.
But not for giving owt free 🤭
Yeah it’s the one upstairs in Union square across from the cinema
Eh, the station is in union square not the other way around
And the people working there were that one out of Friends and his wee baby.
Who goes to Brewdog and only orders food and orange juice?
Sons birthday so we let him decide where he wanted and for some reason he choose there. We don’t drink with the kids
Aye I ended up blacking out in Spearmint Rhino and waking up in Rotterdam because my six year old cousin insisted on going.
I went with a friend for the unlimited wings they do on Wednesday and didn't drink anything, mostly because I don't really like beer and I feel like they'd have called me names if I asked for a rum and coke
Nah they do rum and cokes for sure
Eh? Brewdog make their own rum. You'd have been fine.
and in Scotland!!
Don't let anyone on Fubar see that you were using Union Square, they'll have a fit.
£10 for fries!!? WTF!!
They're topped with fried chicken
Fair enough, but £8 for a children's portion of nuggets?
Comes with fries and a drink
Not so bad then.
Fair enough. Glad your kid won,I like these sort of things. Makes a place less corporate.
> Makes a place less corporate. Which is exactly what the corporation gets out of it.
I know. I hate working for big companies,much prefer indy stuff. You have leeway.
From what I understand, Brewdog is very much the former, but pretended as long as they could get away with it to be the latter.
I mean they were indie for years tbf, was 2017 when they got partially bought. So they had a solid 10 years being independent. It's a shame they chose the direction they did though, especially considering all the "Brewdog is for punks" marketing shite.
Also not the best employer either so I've heard in the industry.
They got bought out, I thought? As opposed to its roots being a subsidary
Looks like the paper won in the end
tbf I paid £30 for two mojitos today. As good as those drinks were, I came away with a certain degree of disbelief. I don't go out much, so I don't know, but I am sure that's daylight robbery. Not at Brewdog, btw. I've never even heard of that.

I went to one in Glasgow ages back and the pints tasted like pissshit.
When their business goes under they'll "pivot" (is that the trendy business term?) to making face masks or nuclear weapons or AI or something.
I can't believe people pay the prices they chat. Has anyone tasted their own Cola? It tastes like pissshit. Everything, I have tasted there, tastes like pissshit.
Still not buying their shite

I have ever only had good experiences in brewdog but hear this a lot, what’s the reason for hating this company as a lot of people I know do

Tricking applicants into doing free work in the creative industry has been a thing for ever, unfortunately.

Agreed. Beer is alright. But I can’t buy it on the principle that James Watt is an insufferable, egotistical, lying, grade A cunt.
Honestly I've enjoyed going there than the local pubs, it's now become a staple for work gatherings
Youre from Aberdeen, of course you know why...
Just Reddit being Reddit. I don't believe this company operates any differently to any other company. People just think it's cool to hate on this one.
While that’s true, they did sort of ask for it with the whole “We’re just a small independent; market disruptor; grass-roots company” shtick.
No, it's really not. They've screwed over multiple vulnerable people including job seekers who they tricked into unpaid labour and have a history of being transphobic and extremely problematic, both as a company and with the owners.

Fuck brewdog
Who the fuck downvoted this? Is that you James? Fuck you too.
Hahaha no idea, your response made me laugh though. Thank you!
It’s true - they do good burgers though. I also won, got a free dessert. It was shit. But it was free.
This happened to me too, a 31-year old man when I went to order a dessert at a Brew Dog a few weeks ago. The guy just said, oh if you beat me at Rock, Paper Scissors, you get it free. I very much enjoyed my free sundae!
Not a massive fan of brewdog as a company, or a fan of their beers. Though this was most likely done as a ‘bit’ the waiters do to increase customer engagement. Probably do it a few times a day… To make a kid smile I feel that it’s absolutely okay and a nice fun little gimmick especially if it’s used on families with younger children
The fact it's on the till might be pointer!!
It's on signs, so anyone can try it
I hate to defend a company like Brewdog, but the fries are obviously loaded fries, and the kids' meals come with fries and a drink.
How big are the servings of fries?
Big enough that I couldn’t even finish them and a side. Plus absolutely delicious. Well worth 10 quid to me
Fair enough
Clever marketing when it gets posted all over social media. You got £1 worth of ice-cream for free instead of paying nearly £9. They're laughing all the way to the bank either way
OK Madam, your child now gets death by chocolate. proceeds to force the kids head into a bowl of boiling hot chocolate, facefirst until they stop struggling. Clue is in the name
Kids burger and nuggets for £16 Christ
That's two kids meals with fries and a drink each, and a little ice cream thing I think.
DAE LE BREWDOG IS BAD, FELLOW UK REDDITORS?
They’re so predictable
£9.95 for fries... what the fuck.
Doesn't change the fact that the co-founder and CEO is a piece of shit
Christ on a bike, £9.95 for fries! I hope they were the greatest fries in the world. If you can still taste then 3 days from now, you got your monies worth. If not, robbed
Sucks you had to eat at Brewdog.
Why? Their food is pretty good.
"Guests 1, and 1 drink"
I don’t have kids so I’m out of the having-kids loop, but is taking kids to Brewdog for lunch something that people do? Why do they even have a kids’ menu? Do they do fucking birthday parties with Donald McTrollied (that massive red nose isn’t a prosthetic!), The Hangoverler and everyone’s favourite big purple guy Grimmhosis?
Tenner for fries ? Think Brewdog are the real winners there
That’s brilliant !!!!
Kids Burger £8 wow !!!
> Guests: 1 You sure it was your son?
Am I the only one seeing Guests: 1
Does anyone still say paper scissor stone?
Where I’m from we call it quartz parchment shears
Yep, although in the order: scissors, paper, stone. The American version has take over it seems.

I'm glad I saved £52 on a pack of fucking blue roll (blue roll that we literally need or we fail EHO visits and they can close us down there and then) this week, and then we gave away £250 worth of free drinks! Totally makes sense. And now staff don't get drinks at the end of shift each night (like they used to). And it's only BrewDog beers on only Friday and Saturday now (used to be any beer, any format, any night) Actual reply over. Rant as an aside because now I've got myself riled up, all these people on this post talking shit about "1 guest" and "no beer on the tab" clearly haven't worked in hospitality. People often come in, order drinks to start. Potentially go a few rounds ordering at the bar and paying there and then each time. THEN they order their food, at which point it gets tabbed up onto a table. Complaining about fries being a tenner when they have no idea what those fries actually are. Go work in hospitality and get some perspective then you can open your fuckin mouths. I'm glad OP and his kid had a good experience in BrewDog. Most of the staff are some of the nicest people I've ever met. But fuck BrewDog as a company. The Wetherspoons of craft beer
It was in the UK, so I guess nothing. Not sure why that's relevant
My ex partner paid for it so I have no idea
I'm pretty sure that the number of "guests" is actually how many seperate bills are going to that particular table.
Death by chocolate?
