A man has successfully sued Brewdog for sex discrimination after bar staff refused him a drink because of his gender.

Thomas Bower wanted to order Brewdog’s Pink IPA which was advertised for £4 as part of the brewery’s campaign to highlight the gender pay gap.

To conclude …

Crikey. Imagine how fucked up the courts would be if every woman who had ever experienced gender discrimination (and for more than a sodding quid) decided to sue.
