I can't see what else they could have done. They actually agreed to take kegs off them, which is a big step for CAMRA.

Apparently not , as they usually have foreign beers on Keg at the festival ( according to the Brewdog link )


What I'm wondering here is why aren't Brewdog suing for the their money back ? it seems they paid a substantial amount to Camra , but it isn't clear if that was refundable .

Either way , I think it's all handbags .

Wouldn't happen in an Irish beer festival I tells ya !!

Yeah, but verrrry entertaining handbags!!!!!!! Going by some of the comments this could be the Scottish "Boston Tea Party"! <!-- s:-) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:-) -->

Yes, it seems Brew Dog is, in some way, making publicity of it. [i:2ynmyruw]"The young rebels against the anachronic tyrants."[/i:2ynmyruw]

Too bad people in the article's comments has no sense of humour though. It is only beer...

I tried a trashy blonde (kegs!) in a brazilian festival. Great beer, but my first reaction was: "Wow, quite un-british". It is no surprise the tension exist. They are like the Sex Pistols of the british brew, no?

"Boston tea party", yes! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> But it was already happening in some way, don't you think? Harviestoun had already a "younger" image. Half the way between CAMRA and Brew Dog maybe.

I hope both sides thrive in their own way - love british ales (and their old fashioned aesthetics) and the hoppy radical stuff just as well.
