After financial loss and recent allegations of workplace bullying, BrewDog is trying to lure in customers by promoting its environmental credentials.

The Scottish beer brewer has launched a campaign that calls itself “the planet’s favorite beer.” The tagline refers to the environment but also a vastly diverse range of people who enjoy BrewDog’s beverages.

Created by Droga5 London, the ad strikes a humorous tone and begins by informing viewers that BrewDog makes beer that is not just for “laughing hipsters” or “clichéd father-son moments.”
