I’ve called them Wetherspoons for hipsters somewhere else in this blog because they are fucking everywhere nowadays, and I seem to end up in one almost every other week, especially because there is one in Waterloo station and that’s where my trains out of London run from, but I think it might be time to upgrade them to Wetherspoons for wankers.

BrewDog is a curious one – they put out this punk rock anti-corporate attitude with pretty decent beers and cool bars whilst rapidly becoming one of the most corporate, money hungry, hypocritical, embarrassing, your dad trying to be cool, making excuses for harassment and bullying in the workplace, £7.50+ for 2/3 of a pint in their bars for beer they brew themselves, mass production to the point of blandness, in every supermarket companies in the UK at the moment. As ever, money, greed, an obsession with “growth” and shareholders ruin everything. It doesn’t matter how cool or edgy your brand is, we see you. We know there is only one thing you care about now and it’s money of course.

But the beer is good and I’m a hypocrite. A drunk one, going through a mid-life crisis where I struggle to reconcile my disdain with the modern world and its greedy money obsession with my complicity in the very system I hate.

I guess at least once we’re all dead, none of it will matter. Speaking of which, does it matter that this is a burger and not a sandwich? It’s just turkey, stuffing etc in some bread. What’s the difference? One day you’ll be dead and none of your arguments on the internet with strangers will matter. You won’t make a difference, you’ll have no legacy, the world will continue to be obsessed with money and then it will eventually burn, either through man made climate change relatively soon (in cosmic universe terms) or eventually via the sun destroying it in a supernova or the heat death of the universe. Delete your social media, go outside and do something better.

It may not be a sandwich, but I do know what it really is – content! Click on those ads.

Buttermilk fried turkey, sausage stuffing patty, smoked bacon, brussels sprout slaw, brie, pig in blanket, cranberry ketchup & turkey gravy.

It was very burger like. The piece of turkey was massive and bit dry if I’m honest, but then I kept dunking it in gravy so that counter acted it. I couldn’t really taste any cranberry and the sprout slaw just seemed to be dry mashed up sprouts which went everywhere. I didn’t really notice the brie either. I would describe this as a turkey and bacon burger that I kept dipping in gravy.

There you go, another review. There won’t be one tomorrow because I’m out on the lash again for my work Christmas party but there should be something on Friday.
