BrewDog cancels AGM due to COVID-19

Once again another event has succumbed to the COVID-19 outbreak. Now BrewDog has announced their annual AGM has been cancelled for safety precautions against Coronavirus. They had only confirmed the brewery line-up earlier this week.

James Watt confirmed the cancellation on Twitter:

It is with a heavy heart that we announce that #PunkAGM2020 is no longer able to take place on 11th April 2020. This is inline with Scottish Government guidance. Our 2020 AGM will be postponed until later in 2020 with a new date announced soon.

This follows the announcement that this year's Hop City has also been cancelled.

There are rumours that the AGM could be rescheduled around September time, at which point the outbreak could be less severe or hopefully sustained. BrewDog is also moving towards only accepting card payments in their bars as another precaution against spreading the virus.
