Your Pub Misses You, Punk
The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) expects 7.8 million pints of low- and no-alcohol beer to be sold this month (presumably in the UK) spurred on by Dry January. The problem they point out is that the vast majority of that will be sold in shops and supermarkets, not in pubs. The BBPA wants your butt in the pub – Covid be damned.
Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the BBPA has this to say, “I urge beer drinkers and pub goers taking part in Dry January to still support their local. With such a great range of low and no alcohol beers in pubs – including on draught – it’s the perfect way to still savour a pint this Dry January.” Not only was Covid spiking in the UK as she said this, but the big lie is that there is a great range of no alcohol beers. The range goes from undrinkable to merely really bad. Does Emma think that offering this crap on draught will make it taste any better? Not a chance. The worst offender is Brewdog, which is spreading like Omicron across the UK and has infected the US and is in danger of becoming a global crap-demic.
The two Brewdog NA beers I tried weren't just bad compared to beer with alcohol, they were bad compared to most liquids including cod liver oil and curdled milk.
And they have the nerve to call their near-beer Punk AF. Brewdog is not Punk. This is Punk:
.....A fascist regime….We mean it, man! *kick over drums* *smash guitar*
I’m not going to a pub, bar or Applebee’s where I can’t have a proper beer. And to you Emma McClarkin – if that’s your real name – I won’t be told about what I want, I won’t be told about what I need, no future, no future, no future for you!
