The topic made me laugh in anticipation knowing your sense of humour, but the story is serious and disturbing.
Brewdog is unmasked and to no one's surprise, it was Brewdog the whole time.
I almost got one of their beers on several occasions but glad I never went through with it.

I went to there brew pub in Vegas recently and it wasn't a good scene. Very condescending bar tenders that knew little about the beer.
The beers being made on site all had a burnt quality from use of an electric kettle during brewing.
I was sitting at the bar having a flight and noticed the off flavour. No big deal just went on to the next. Than a couple sat down beside me with no beer knowledge and figured since at a brew pub have a cerveza. First thing she noticed was the ashy taste. We had an aha moment as we discussed what we were tasting. The bar tenders pretty much argued with us that is the way it always tastes. This went on till she eventually gave the lady beside me a different pint.
Shittyness starts at the top and goes down.

"BrewDog accused her of “aggressive behaviour and use of inappropriate language” after she raised her concerns, according to documents seen by the Guardian.
“This was not the case at all,” Myriam – not her real name – told Tribune magazine, which first reported the story.
“All I said was ‘I can’t fucking believe this. This is fucking unbelievable.’ I didn’t swear at my manager … ""
They said she used inappropriate language, which she did. Try saying ‘I can’t fucking believe this. This is fucking unbelievable.’ almost anywhere and you're going to get a negative reaction.

I used to sell beer. Now I don't.
