The beer is still good (if expensive)

I’ve become disillusioned with the two founders.
They really were a breath of fresh air back in 2009-12 and a lot of people bought into them.
To still try and pretend you are “punk” when you have sold a large chunk of your business to a US private equity outfit is a bit rich.
Also these guys are now multi millionaires on paper (good for them, hard earnt etc) so the “men of the people” act has also worn thin.
The impression they give is of a couple of sixth formers suddenly put in charge of a large company.
They seem to be constantly fleecing wannabe shareholders with fund raising too - the whole thing feels slightly uncomfortable from a business which is allegedly doing so well....my personal view is the marketing smokescreen is hiding transparency.
