And its disappearance at time when the COVID-19 pandemic is wreaking havoc in the United Kingdom, could lead to online shortages of BrewDog’s Punk IPA.
Here’s the deal…
On March 24 BrewDog co-Founder James Watt took to twitter to announce that a truck in route to the brewer’s distribution center had been stolen.
The beer, believed to be cans of the brewery’s award-winning Punk IPA, was taken from the truck’s trailer while it was parked at a regional service station in England on Tuesday at around 7:45am.
Watt estimated that the economic loss might be as high as £150,000, which for a company that recently reported losing 70% of its value overnight due to the impact of the coronavirus, seems minor in retrospect…but still.
Watt also worried that the theft could lead to a temporary shortage of BrewDog Punk IPA online. And he added that with many in the UK sheltering-in-place, the company was making every effort to increase stock at a critical time.
BrewDog released this additional statement on the thefts…
“A BrewDog order was destined for our online shop distribution center to keep up with high demand. It was a full truck load with 26 pallets of BrewDog beer.”
“We are working with the Cheshire Police but would appreciate any leads.”
