Now the hangovers have eased off and we’ve all recovered for another year, it’s time to reflect on Annual General Mayhem, where diehard Equity Punks descend upon Aberdeen for the annual BrewDog AGM.

Must be something substantial as you have to send your passport off at this point to BrewDog to claim it. Continue reading “BrewDog Intergalactic Beer Visa is here”
