Why not Brewdog if I may ask?
Not OP, but two big issues for me having actually been a fan of them and an 'Equity Punk' (just one share) back in 2020:
CEO accused of inappropriate behaviour and abuse of power.
Despite huge popularity and their drinks taking over every supermarket, somehow managed to fall into administration leaving suppliers and original investors out of pocket.
I think the takeover deal stinks - the worst kind of capitalism - leave all the small guys short changed and hand a massive multinational brand to another company with no obligations to make it right.

They also did job interviews for roles at the company, asked the applicants to come up with marketing plans, design concepts etc., then ghosted the applicants and used their ideas.
