About Us

Martin and James were bored of the industrially brewed lagers and stuffy ales that dominate the UK market. We decided the best way to fix this undesirable predicament was to brew our own beers. Consequently in April 2007 BrewDog was born.

Both only 24 at the time, we leased a building, got some scary bank loans, spent all our money on stainless steel and started making some hardcore beers.

We are dedicated to making cool, contemporary and progressive beers showcasing some of the world’s classic beer styles. All with an innovative twist and customary BrewDog bite.

Meet the original BrewDog

Bracken is James’ Dad’s three year old chocolate lab. He recently appeared on Mastermind and progressed to the semi final with his specialist subject of ‘The origins of Constitutional Democratic Government: Europe 1846-1912’. Unfortunately he missed the semi-final because he was busy chasing a stick.

He is our guard dog, head taster, accountant and general buddy! Be sure to say hi if you see him. He is very friendly! Apparently he loves a high-five… and a biscuit!
