BrewDog loses its ethical B Corp certificate

Thia sucks:
"Earlier this year, a group of 23 B Corp companies led by US fair trade advocacy organisation Fair World Project said the integrity of the programme had been put “at risk” by granting Nestlé-owned Nespresso certification despite allegations of child labour on its coffee farms.

B Corp has also been criticised for its scoring system, which allows a company to achieve certification if its gets at least 80 across the five categories, meaning an applicant can score poorly in one or more areas and still pass"

 

Have not started to drink BrewDog after the last reports about the conduct. Some more time has to pass. Not my way to view the world.

 

I really don’t like Brewdog beers that much, I don’t like bullies either. On the flip side, I don’t like globalized social credit scores on corporations (already here) or citizens (coming soon?) very much either.

 

A bit off topic, but the new BrewDog space in Las Vegas is fantastic! I was there on Monday December 12th. Not many people there. But Jesus what a great space. The 4th floor outdoor area gives one of the best all-around views of Las Vegas. I can't wait to go back to Vegas when it's warm and sit on that beautiful rooftop and drink until my heart's content.

The beers I had were just OK. I wouldn't return just for the beers there. But the view will force me to return.

The entrance was surprisingly easy to miss. A shared entrance with Olive Garden on strip level. Poorly marked door. Then you take an elevator up to BrewDog (or Olive Garden).

Couldn't even tell you the last time I had a BrewDog beer, it's been a while though.
Used to like their show when it was on Esquire.
But since their recent problems with being decent human beings, I don't even look for their beers.

 

Ahhhhh corporatocracy...the choice of the new world odor.

 

ESG is just a popular kids club with no real ethos (James Brown: Sayin' It and Doin' It discussion here) other than being in the clique or out of it.

Just recycled communism struggle session nonsense.

I haven't even listened to AM talk radio for years. Get Up Off a My Lawn, good God, huh! (moonwalks off stage after robe placed upon shoulders).

 

As a retired 40+ year beverage industry veteran I have never had a BD beer and likely never will have the urge.

 

I love beer. I love everything about beer. It has been like this for decades.

And I fucking hate Brewdog. I need Brewdog to go away. Make it stop! Less Brewdog in my world!

Please Jesus I am asking, praying, less Brewdog in 2023. That is all I'm asking.

 

I enjoyed Brewdog when I visited Scotland. It was tasty enough for me.

 

150+ other breweries in Scotland these days, most of them are not run by pricks.
