  • why buy beer from people who have a long list of controversies behind them when you can buy beer from other people, that is as good or better, for the same or less money?

    I think you are confusing "It's OK to buy BD beer" with "even when presented with better options, you should still buy BD beer".

  • No, as @Sumo says, I'm saying that in the sorts of places where you can get Brewdog beer, it's pretty rare that there's not a better option available, and therefore it should be pretty rare that anyone buys it.

    It's a nice example where, for once, there is essentially no downside to taking the "ethical" position

    So, Asda?

    In my experience, this isn't actually true. Sure. If I go to the specialist beer shop I'm not going to come back with BD beer. If I get invited out on a work do or Thursday night drinkies with colleagues, it's pretty likely the least shit beer will be BD. Yes, these aren't the best places to drink. But some beer > no beer .
