BREWDOG took aim at Scotland's reliably cheap beer on Twitter today...and got their ass handed to them in the ensuing punch-up.
The pricey "punk" beer took aim at Tennent's Lager (the beer yer actual punks are likely to drink) in the name of "Wednesday Wisdom", a Twitter trend where users share a little bit of insight every week.
In a post aiming to shower enlightenment on their followers, BrewDog listed everything they recommended doing instead of drinking Tennents.
"Anything else" was the only option.
Not to be outdone, Tennents hit back, not with anger or outrage, but with a flippancy that firmly put BrewDog in their place.
When your annoying wee brother tries to bam you up but really he's just crying for attention… #Bless #Bothered 👇😂🎣

Ouch.
BrewDog later deleted the tweet after being hammered online by critics, and maybe upon realising that they had been outclassed by the Glasgow brewery.
Choose your battles, folks.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
