BrewDog then tweeted that it would run a promotion offering free beer to anyone who “supports LOVE not hate.”

Following Scofflaw's Fake News earlier, we're going to run a very real promotion today - one free beer for anyone who supports LOVE not hate.



Simply tell our staff, and enjoy a pint of Punk IPA, or any Headliner on us. — BrewDog (@BrewDog) September 27, 2018

For its part, Scofflaw tweeted that it also had no prior knowledge of the promotion and was working with its PR company to “fix this error.”

We did not approve or release said message and we are working with our PR firm @FRANKPUBLICITY to fix this error. This post was done on our behalf without our consent or knowledge. More details and official release to come. — Scofflaw Brewing Co. (@ScofflawBrewing) September 27, 2018

Brewdog and Scofflaw initially announced a partnership in late 2017, giving Scofflaw access to the brewing and canning operation at BrewDog USA's new state-of-the-art U.S. headquarters near Columbus, Ohio.

The agreement, which was reached by James Watt, co-founder and CEO at BrewDog, and Matt Shirah, co-founder and president of Scofflaw, includes an expansion that will increase Scofflaw’s capacity to 30,000 barrels annually at its Atlanta brewery.

Scofflaw is the latest Atlanta brewery to come under fire of late due to political issues. Monday Night Brewing received some negative attention on social media earlier this month after agreeing to host an event for Republican gubernatorial candidate Brain Kemp.
