Brewdog 'inspired by recent events' as firm pokes fun at Dominic Cummings

Scots beer brand Brewdog has poked fun at the recent controversy surrounding Dominic Cummings with a post about naming a new beer.

Cummings came under fire over the weekend when it was revealed he broke the UK Government’s own rules on coronavirus travel.

The controversy in the fall out has split the Tory party down the middle over whether the Boris Johnson's chief adviser should be forced to resign or not.

Never one to miss an opportunity, Brewdog posted on Facebook asking beer fans to choose from the likes of 'Cummings and Goings', '260 miles' and 'Barnard Castle Eye Test'.

The post, which has over 750 likes, saw fans debating over the four choices while offering their own suggestions.

Brandon Ainsworth joked: "Barnard Castle Eye Test make it 10-12% ABV and make it taste of gasoline and deceit."

While Andrew Ashe suggested: "Perhaps 'whataboutism' given the new craze in trying to defend DC by spouting 'but what about.....'"

Overall, the clear winner seemed to be Barnard Castle Eye Test with most people posting it as their favourite.

The post follows Brewdog COO Dave McDowall tweeting that the civil service employee who created the now deleted, 'Can you imagine having to work with these truth twisters?' tweet could have, 'Free Punk IPA and chicken wings for life in Brewdog bars'.
