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
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 .

My local Morrison’s stocks a lot of BD and a lot of stuff I’d consider worse than BD, but also Leffe, Hoegaarden, Chimay, that nice Schoferhofer grapefruit stuff, a load of stuff from the Drygate, Inveralmond and Orkney breweries, Brooklyn, Blue Moon... I’ve no idea how ethical any of that stuff is but I know it tastes a hell of a lot better than anything I’ve had from BD.
I don’t think I’ve ever been in a pub where a BD beer was going to be the best tasting thing on offer either but to be fair, I don’t go to the pub often and tend to choose which pub to drink in based on their selection of 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
