INTRODUCING THE NOMAD BREWING COLLECTIVE

We love our Equity Punks. A lot. They are the heart and soul of BrewDog. We have only been able to grow our business, build our amazing new brewery and open new craft beer bars because of their investment in BrewDog. We like to think we give a fair bit back to them to show how much we appreciate their support. This includes:

• Great discounts in our bars, online shop and BottleDog.
• Exclusive first access to all our new and limited release beers.
• An invite to our mega AGM - over 4,000 people attended this year!
• Growing our company and growing the value of investments in BrewDog.

However, we want to do even more with our Equity Punk community. One of those things is a whole new website we are currently building, which will have a new EFP-only forum and discussion section. And the second new thing is even more exciting.

Introducing the Nomad Brewing Collective. Beer for the People, by the People.

This is Equity for Punks, meets #Mashtag, meets gypsy brewing. All with a social conscience.

This is Nomad.

Nomad Brewing Collective will be BrewDog’s alter-ego sister brewery. A virtual gypsy brewery where everything is controlled by our Equity Punks. Nomad will brew two batches of beer per year and all the profits from both batches will go to charities as chosen by our Equity Punks.

Every element of the Nomad beers will be designed by our Equity Punk shareholders – from the recipe, to the packaging to where the proceeds of the sales of these beers go to.

Our new website, which is due to go live in the next couple of months, will be interactive, multi-dimensional and much, much more engaging for our shareholder communities.

On this new site, there'll be functions to vote up elements of brews, much like #MashTag, with conversation and debate running alongside to make Nomad beers the ultimate in bottled anarchic democracy.

To kick things off, Nomad needs a logo, and we want our shareholders to design it. True to the concept, we will be opening a thread on our shareholder forum today, inviting any of our Equity Punks to submit their design ideas. We will then shortlist a selection that are suitable for the project and hold a vote for our shareholder community to decide on the winner. They don't need to be polished designs, but will need to present an overall idea and concept for execution. We will then work closely with the winner to finalise the design (this is just to make sure it works for all requirements.) The winning designer will receive a stash of beer and merch, plus £400 cash.

The first ever Nomad brew will hopefully launch in Spring 2015.

#MashTag will still run annually in March, so anyone and everyone the world over can get involved with deciding what we brew and how, but Nomad will restrict the process to our committed army of craft beer connoisseurs; our shareholders.
