I'm no fan of brewdog, but yet again a British company is being bought out and asset stripped by an american conglomerate.
Doesn't change anything for me at least, still going to mainly support local breweries and occasionally make my own. It is a shame about those jobs, hopefully those people go on to do something worthwhile in their industry, maybe start a new employee-owned venture?
Bought during process of administration though, seems important but not in the headline. What a mess:
The way in which senior management have conducted themselves throughout this sales process has been nothing short of a national disgrace
Tax payer has to pay these poor people not the multi millionaire investors, because of the way they've done it

General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
