Dead Animals

Kissing the stoat- sounds like a euphemism to me...

You are dangerous, sir, very dangerous

Start Watching eBay for the empty bottles to start popping up for auction. they will be sure to still go for $100+ even after they have been emptied. Wouldn't mind having a bottle like that for my bar.

For myself, I think we have enough dead animals in the form of sporrans – and I am also referring to the sporran I plan to have made up, since it is the pelt of a caracal (a medium-sized cat, a bit smaller than a bobcat or lynx).
You can keep those crazy bottles!
Regards,
Mike

Well, the beer probably isn't made for drinking as much as for bragging about owning it, so I think the bottles match the brew quite nicely. The same brewery have done many other crazy stunts before, among other things encouraging binge drinking on the label of one product.

Not commenting at all on the moral issues, I kinda like the bottles, especially if I can get at top hat and kilt version (but I can't - they're sold out). Anyway, brewdog make excellent beer, and I am a very satisfied regular customer...

When I saw the post, I suspected what this was...it was cross-posted to another forum I'm on. Funny thing was, the first thing I thought of was "sporran" ...and then clicked through and found out where it came from .

All I can say is, if you think about it for a minute, the mouth of the animal was really the only reasonable place to put the mouth of the bottle .

Ross Minett, campaigns director for the charity Advocates for Animals, said: "Using shock tactics to get attention is terribly out of date, especially when this involves exploiting or degrading animals.

"The modern approach is to celebrate the wonders of animals and respect them as individual sentient creatures. I'm sure this would have much greater appeal with the animal-loving public.

"We will be getting in touch with BrewDog to advise them on what people today really think about animals and how a positive caring approach and appreciating live animals is the best way forward."

"Dear Mr. Minett,

These are roadkilled varmints. I cannot possibly be more succinct, without being insulting. Furthermore, as a young adult male with access to a reasonable entertainment budget, I am in the target demographic for 'shock tactic' advertising relying heavily on alcohol, sex appeal, and occasionally dead animals. The only way this product would be potentially more appealing would be if one of those stoats were wearing a bikini."

Sincerely,
Sean"

The way I figure it, you could probably just stick 3 or 4 bottles of your favorite brew into your full-mask sporran and get the same effect...
