BrewDog Edinburgh - Deal Done!

We have secured the location for our 2nd craft beer bar!

We have officially agreed the location for its second craft beer bar, just weeks after opening our first ever bar in Aberdeen. Enthusiastic appeals were made from craft beer fans throughout the country to locate the second bar in their hometown and we eventually decided to find a venue in Edinburgh. BrewDog Edinburgh will open its doors to the public in April 2011.

Our mission is to make people as passionate about beer as we are and our success with BrewDog Aberdeen proves there is a growing appetite for craft beer. People are looking for more than the fizzy, yellow lagers on offer in most mainstream bars and BrewDog Edinburgh will establish another stronghold for the craft beer revolution that is sweeping the nation.

BrewDog Edinburgh will be situated at 143, Cowgate in Edinburgh, transforming the premises into a stripped-back, industrial and contemporary space that puts the beer at the centre of attention. As well as stocking BrewDog beers, the new bar will showcase a myriad of diverse and often rare beers from all over the globe. The bar will be is a library of beery masterpieces from the likes of BrewDog, Stone, Mikkeller, Struise, Alesmith and many more. 

No Tennents.

No Carling.

No Smirnoff.

No Televisions.

Just as with BrewDog Aberdeen, BrewDog Edinburgh will have an off-licence and will be the only high street bar in the city to provide American style ‘growlers’; specially designed containers that allow customers to take draught beer home with them. 

The bar will have a capacity of around 120, stocking beers from Stone, Three Floyd’s, Mikkeller, Struise, Nogne, O, Alesmith, The Bruery and De Dolle breweries. Cheese and meat plates will be specially designed to compliment specific beer styles and underline the connection between good beer and good food.

We see our new bar on the Cowgate adding to Edinburgh’s already great craft beer scene and making Edinburgh one of the best craft beer destinations in Europe. We haven’t yet developed plans for the launch, but you can expect something suitably bold.
