When it launched in 2007, craft beer BrewDog was a “punk” brand. It’s a word that featured on many of the cans of its IPA sold at the Fontaines DC show at Finsbury Park earlier this month, and at summer festivals across the land. It’s a sign of something young, cool, edgy.
What’s not so cool is abruptly closing 10 bars, including BrewDog’s flagship outlet in Aberdeen, some within a matter of days. “Morally repugnant,” said the union Unite, which represents some of the workers whose livelihoods have been affected by the closures.
