I havent yet tried it but hopefully will in the next few days.
The issue is whether this is simply hype or in anyway a useful comment.
Brewdog of course have a history of hype and given that they remain very much in the ‘punk’ genre a line from the Clash’s White Man In Hammersmith Palais, ‘turning rebellion into money’ does seem relevant.
That said associating products with radical events and movements has a long history. Henry Hunt who spoke at Peterloo was something of a master at it (but he did served jail time for Peterloo)
Henry Hunt’s breakfast powder: more popular than his Bristol beer
