However, it't not really that revolutionary is it? Shock, horror, company sells shares!<br /><br />What would have been truly revolutionary would have been to sell 10000 shares in the company and give everyone 1/10000th of a co-operative. Though given beer geeks propensity for arguing and splitting (something like Scottish presbyterians) in groups I doubt anything would ever have got done.<br /><br />You could also argue, and I say this as a non-member, that still the most influential thing to happen in British brewing is CAMRA and the saving of cask ale. As for Abstrakt, well is it really that different in concept from Fuller's Vintages? Thomas Hardy's annual beers?Alistair Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929927359428659775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-50864214891631950882009-10-20T19:26:34.798+01:002009-10-20T19:26:34.798+01:00I, like Dave, jumped in early to the whole share p...I, like Dave, jumped in early to the whole share purchasing, and don't regret that I did. OK, the shares are overpriced, we can all see that but I didn't back BrewDog in the hope of huge financial returns, I backed them because I believe what they are trying to do, and have always tried to do is great for British beer. My hope is that others will follow in the innovative brewing ethic laid down by these two guys (and canine), and push the boundaries of beer, so we all reap the benefits. <br /><br />It is completely understandable that people don't have that sort of money to throw about, and I think from the mixed reaction received BrewDog will realise they have outpriced a lot of the hardcore fans. I just hope they don't alienate the loyal fan base that has made them what they are today. <br /><br />Anyway, my point is, I've invested (I think donated may be more appropriate but lets forget the whole semantics thing for now) and I hope that in the coming year we get to see more world class beer from BrewDog.BeerBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534276143335554604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-235511387653554752009-10-20T18:10:19.202+01:002009-10-20T18:10:19.202+01:00Brewdog will be the next Stone.

It is nonetheless good to see a Scottish Brewery doing such interesting things, speaking as a Scot that is, but a tenfold increase seems a little like overweening ambition.<br /><br />I do hope a lot of this buttering up of bloggers wasn't just an exercise in leading them by the nose to this point, though in fairness that wouldn't get them much dosh, but it does get them a lot of free publicity.<br /><br />It's a strange one.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2446074078505386356.post-21574226116723416542009-10-20T11:11:46.487+01:002009-10-20T11:11:46.487+01:00So, being allowed to buy one arguably over-priced ...So, being allowed to buy one arguably over-priced share is "the single most exciting, influential and ground-breaking thing to happen in the British brewing industry for decades" is it? Hmm, I have to say I am less and less impressed by the hype surrounding, and generated by Brew Dog. I do get the horrible feeling thay are starting to believe their own publicity.

I think I might just have a bottle of Punk or Atlantic IPA whilst I think of you all enjoying the beers in London!<br /><br />On the investment side of things, for me the numbers don't quite stack up, but it's an investment in more than a company, in a similar way that myfootballclub was an experiment and (for some) a passion.<br /><br />Haven't decided if I'll take the plunge yet. I thought the announcement might be something like this and had sort of agreed that £50 would be a reasonable amount should it be called upon, but over £200 is a little steep just at the moment.Mark, Real-Ale-Reviews.comhttp://real-ale-reviews.comnoreply@blogger.com
