Omfg when will folk who make money, have no understanding of anything other than profit and think that government is just business finally take their rockets and colonise mars with their self interested shit which will survive for about ten minutes before they blow each other up for the GDP God.
I can't wait for the phone number to be made public. Hopefully, there will be lots of calls, stating my council had a staff party and wasted lots of money buying some cheap pi$$ called brewdog.
From what I've read about him he's a self centred narcissist and control freak who, currently has cases going through court from employees who he treated badly.
Top tip for rich opinionated capitalists. You are rich because people buy your products. If you then alienate the people who buy your products, then you quickly become a poor opinionated capitalist. No more Brew Dog for me, many of my friends & many historical users. Good luck with your share sales.
Hate for him and Elon aside, the idea of using FOI request to hold govt to account for unnecessary waste is a good idea. The eVisa and smart motorway are 2 wasteful govt spending I can think of, not to mention support for h2 as energy source and carbon capture. Its nothing like Elon's Doge.
Already boycotting the brand, after hearing of candidate designers getting stiffed:
"here is a realistic design test for you"
Candidate gets declined, then candidate sees their design in use.
What’s always shocked me is how he managed to farm and squeeze so many gnats and cats and keep bottling the product. And then con people into buying it.
Pouring my Brew Dog down the drain (I think it was off anyway, despite being in date) & will not be buying again. He is another example of ego over intellect.
I live in Aberdeen. The Brewdog HQ is just up the road in Ellon. Mr. Watt is always featuring in the local news. Put simply, he is a massive see you next Tuesday.
Yeah this is not the first example of James Watt's craven attention seeking. It sure as hell won't be the last. He's probably cupping Musk's balls right now asking for tips on how to be edgy and disruptive.
He’s right up there with all the attributes that Trump has. He’s been accused of multiple sexual incidents with junior members of staff. He’s absolutely hated by people who had the misfortune to interact with him.
With any luck. I saw his rant on LinkedIn. I guess he’s not seeing the destruction of a country (US) into a rogue state. Or that he really wants UK to go that way (…maybe he does?). He’s certainly emitting ‘I’m alright Jack’ vibes. Not a fan of his beer anyway.
Having been in a brewdog pub once in Edinburgh, I found out that Brewdog IPA actually means over-priced slop.
And their pub seemed to attract all sorts of pretentious fannies. Disclaimer, I'm using fannies in a disparaging way, not in a good way.
His brand was all puff anyway. Punk was good when West Coast US IPAs were uncommon outside California, and almost all of their output has been gimmick, clone, or miss. But you know what they say - Nazi Punks Fuck Off!
2/2 However, you can run a country like how it used to prosper. It’s something a hella of a lot of people have forgotten and thats’s using something called history. When this country & the USA were at its best globally was when they taxed the very rich. ie 1960s & 1950s.
1/2 No, but I do now. Must stop buying BrewDog. I have no say in Simon’s mini cons in BrewDog Chancery Lane, but it’s very convenient for gaming. I’ll have a word with him. Still James Watt is a dickhead & you can’t run a country like a home or business.
Comments
Seems like he's just going all in on the idiot asshole demographic?
Won’t buy a Tesla while I’ve got an hole in my arse- won’t buy a Brewdog neither.
Still an upgrade or the local fash who can switch up from meetin at Racistspoons to Brewc**t...

Tosser.
It's pathetic from the world's most corporate 'punk'.

If you drink his beers, it says something that's not good about you.

Though he might have to make it taste like Carling, first.
Mediocre beer. Less than mediocre boss. God awful public image with the whole ‘charge a squillion quid per can but don’t pay your staff properly.”
I’d rather drink Fosters or White Lightening!
Not supporting this brand any more!
They set themselves out as a grounded, fair, right-thinking company.
Was it always BS, or what happened?
I'm hoping he loses it all...the way he acts & treats people is shocking.
Always good to hear the words of people with principles.
A soul-brother of that Pimlico Plumber git,
Don’t drink Brew Dog Beer
Don’t buy Rayner Jewellery (sorry, we’ve done that one)
