P/E isn't everything, and it's not close to enough to make a decision. The valuation today and the valuation at the time of the sale share are two very different things. You could say all the same about bitcoin: "How can it be a fad if I bought it for $5 and now it's worth $1000"

I'll admit to my wording being bad. But that's not because people made money. People made money out of Initial Coin Offerings. People also lost money. They give you an actual share (which has less privileges than others) in the process, but the whole thing is really a marketing exercise and not an investment, as I detailed in my more detailed message a couple of posts above.

Indeed, BrewDog were completely transparent in their "Equity for Punks" offering. No dividend would be paid, and all profits would be re-invested or used to pay the staff. A lot of people would buy the minimum amount of shares to get the 10% discount at bars and an invite to the AGM/Piss Up in Aberdeen each year

Looking forward to see how this thread develops next week when you can actually drink some.
My next BA flights are the week after, so I'm hoping for some high quality unbiased tasting notes to decide whether I should give it a go.

It doesn't seem to be widely publicised, and apologies if this has already been mentioned up-thread, but BrewDog is also brewing a beer for First.
'BrewDog further explained it will also offer a small-batch exclusive beer from the BrewDog OverWorks team for those in First class on British Airways. The company added:
“We are proud to be creating a new generation of sour and wild beers with our OverWorks facility – and more proud that very soon travellers on British Airways will be able to enjoy these beers at 30,000 feet and above. AirCraft is a dry-hopped Brett-fermented IPA incorporates the rich fruity esters and flavours from Brettanomyces with the notorious tropical hops of the south pacific for a bold but balanced hop experience. For too long, taking a plane has meant a limited selection of beer on offer but we love the fact that British Airways have worked with us to make this a thing of the past. They share our belief that you should be able to enjoy amazing beer wherever you are going.” - Taken from This crowdfundinsider.com article
Also, to clarify on the BA Employee and BAEC discounts.
From one of the staffers on the BrewDog Equity Punk Forum:
'Just to update everyone on this, the following is launching for BA staff and BAEC card holders from next week (01st May)
British Airways Discount
Starting next week on May 1st, we will be offering a discount in all our bars globally for British Airways staff and Exec Club cardholders. There will be 2 different discounts as follows:

I was in the BrewDog bar in NCL on Saturday and, partly because I was confused as to the start date for the BAEC discount and partly because I didn't realise it was just 5% for BAEC members, I actually managed to get 10% off all my beers there in spite of it only being 27th April.
