Diageo steals award from BrewDog
Industry News by FLASHPRO
This is almost too crazy to believe!

After making threats the night of the event, they were awarded the title even though the award had BrewDog engraved on it. [B)]

So the event, The British Institue of Innkeeping, is sponsored by Diageo and they pitched a fit when BII didn't give them the award, and threatened to stop sponsoring this "event" if they didn't get it? Why not just jerk yer'self off, give yourself the damn award and not even have the f'n event? I mean really. I know it's not going to make a dent, but although I've never supported Diageo in anyway...I will continue to support BrewDog when and where the opportunity is, especially when given the choice over a Diageo product and a BrewDog prodct. They should try and earn a sliver of respect back by licking BrewDog's fermenters clean and apologizing profusely, stand on the corner with an A-frame sign that says "Diageo sucks, support BrewDog" for at least a week somewhere in Scotland.

What the fuck. Another classless move by the mega corporations of the world. Attention Wal-Mart shoppers: you can find your $10 retro Red Stripe and Guinness shirts in aisle 15.
