BrewDog organises ‘world’s smallest protest’ to change 300 year-old legislation
28.10.2010
BrewDog's dwarf protest caused a scene at Westminster
BrewDog, the maverick independent brewery, is conducting the world’s smallest protest – consisting of a four-foot five-inch dwarf – in order to kick-start a revolution of Britain’s licensing laws and legalise the two thirds of a pint measure.
- BrewDog hired a dwarf to protest at Parliament Square
- The protest supports the introduction of a two thirds of a pint measure in UK bars
- Draught beers are currently only legally served in third, half and full pint measures
- New measure will encourage responsible drinking
- The National Weights and Measures Laboratory (NWML) recommended the introduction of the measure
- Since the election, the proposed legislation has gathered dust
- BrewDog believes the measure is ‘the perfect size’ for artisanal craft ales
