Fraserburgh Brewery hit by the Portman Group.

Fucksake! what a bunch of utter utter cunts:

"The blurring of alcohol and illicit drugs fosters unhealthy attitudes to drinking and trivialises drug misuse.

"BrewDog is profiteering from the scourge of illegal drugs, mocking the misery caused by misuse.

"The company is seriously misguided in its claim to be educating and preventing people from misusing drugs. We are taking urgent action to protect the public from exposure to such negligent marketing."

I had some Skullsplitter over Xmas and brought some back to London with us.

Lovely!

Scapa Special is rather nice too.

Despite the come through, Brewdog seem to have benifited from all the free advertising and have just announced an expansion:

A north-east brewing phenomenon is poised for major expansion with a move to a new site, massive increase in production and new jobs all on the way.

BrewDog, which has seen its often controversially named products flying off the shelves at a growing number of retail outlets, aims to relocate from its current site at Fraserburgh to Potterton within a couple of years, managing director James Watt said yesterday.

Mr Watt said the move was likely to at least double the size of the company’s workforce, currently 16 people, with staff numbers rising to about 45 if a bistro planned for the new site goes ahead.

Which sounds like a good thing in there dark days.
