BottleDog is coming!

Published - 19.02.2014 Comments (61)

We've been teasing you long enough with news of a BrewDog bottle shop, but we can officially announce our plans right here, right now. Ready? Ok, here goes...!

bottlesjan2_620

BrewDog's first Bottle shop, BottleDog, will open at the end of April 2014 on Gray's Inn Road near King's Cross in London. The concept for this shop is essentially the Diagon Alley of craft beer, minus the magic wands and trained owls. It'll stock everything a craft beer lover could dream of; from BrewDog bottled beers and growler fills to amazing new beers from International breweries, to homebrewing equipment and great glassware to enjoy your purchases in, this place will have it all.

We are also designing the shop to be a place to come and sit down and sample a few things before making any decisions. There'll be books about beer and food and anything else that might be of interest on a table in the centre of the store, with seating and wise, knowledgeable, Cicerone-trained staff on hand to advise and chat with.

This venue will be the first of many and Aberdeen, Glasgow and Manchester are in our sights once we've got London off the ground.

Stay tuned for more accurate launch dates, but in the mean time, I think the most important question is what breweries' beers should we get in for the grand opening?

No bottle shops in Edinburgh? Oh pl-eeeaaseee! I can think of 4 fantastic shops and 5 decent shops in the city. Apart from the Royal mile I cant think of an area within the city centre that is more than 20 minutes walk from a great selection of beer. Oh heres a list http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/FindPlacesByCity.asp?CountryID=241&StateID=0&City=edinburgh&Show=3

If the Aberdeen store could be right at the train station that would be super handy thanks.

Nicklas W 20.02.2014 @ 12:47pm

Will only BrewDog growlers be filled, or will you accept any growler?

alisongourlay 19.02.2014 @ 3:43pm

Brilliant location as usually stay in hotel around there when in London. How about opening a bottledog in Durham, we could do with a nice craft beer shop.

Michael R 19.02.2014 @ 3:29pm

Some Hitachino Nest would be nice. And itd be good to get confirmation of shareholder discounts too!

List of Brewmeister beers that arent terrible:*space left intentionally blank*

brigandaca 19.02.2014 @ 1:30pm

In London, Ive been impressed by Brixton Beer, Kernel and Redchurch Brewery.

Pete H., Nottm 19.02.2014 @ 1:20pm

If the first shop is in London village, then you HAVE to stock beer from The Kernel. All their bottles I have tried have been fantastic.Others to consider - Magic Rock, Buxton, Marble, Oakham, but definately NOT Castle Rock.

Theydon_Bois 19.02.2014 @ 1:14pm

Couldnt you have opened it on a railway station concourse ? Dont you know how much beer time will be lost walking down the Grays Inn Road? Its not easy keeping up with beer in London you know !

Alexander Davis 19.02.2014 @ 1:12pm

The Kernel, and De Molen are musts! Kings of brewing for me at the moment.

BK 19.02.2014 @ 1:11pm

Russian River and The Alchemist!

Francesco1968 19.02.2014 @ 1:03pm

Badger 19.02.2014 @ 12:53pm

We need all of the Three Floyds. And Jester King. And Cigar City.

RickW 19.02.2014 @ 12:52pm

Are you going to be stocking home brew ingredients too or just the kit? some great all grain mix (in 1 Gallon & 5 Gallon) kits would be amazing - After BottleDog - why not HomeDog?

Kaizo 19.02.2014 @ 12:48pm

Russian River, Stone, Mikkeller, Three Floyds, Goose Island, AleSmith, Bells, Hair of the Dog, Deschutes, Alchemist, Firestone Walker! I could go on forever!

dynamiteninja 19.02.2014 @ 12:40pm

+1 on the Brewmeister or Tetleys Smooth Flow

Ian G 19.02.2014 @ 12:39pm

Nice, hopefully its near the travel lodge on grays road. Booked in there for a stay in london later in the year so ill be able to have a growler filled before heading for the train.

Londinium Maximus 19.02.2014 @ 12:38pm

Beavertown/ Brew by Numbers/ Partizan/ Kernel/ Stone/ Mikkeller/ Evil Twin/ Weird Beard/ Ska/ Pressure Drop/ Kona/ Flying Dog - if these were sold in one place I wouldnt need to go anywhere else!!

Trickman 19.02.2014 @ 12:29pm

If you could get Vortex by Fort George Brewery I will sweep your floors and be a caged novelty for your customers to throw nuts at

jiggles 19.02.2014 @ 12:28pm

What about Edinburgh? :(

Andy P 19.02.2014 @ 12:27pm

If you can get the small but fine selection of beers from Four Pines Brewery Australia, youd be the first in Europe I think.

McMar 19.02.2014 @ 12:25pm

Why not in Edinburgh guys?We need more beer shops here and especially homebrew stores (theres only one, and it is bloody expensive)!!!

BrewMeister? Really? 19.02.2014 @ 12:19pm

Re: BenH - You are joking, right?

BBIW 19.02.2014 @ 12:18pm

A good British beer section would be awesome! Cromarty bottles? Yes please...

Ferry 19.02.2014 @ 12:16pm

Josh 19.02.2014 @ 11:03am

Will the shareholder discount be the same as in the online stores, or more akin to the bars?

DJ 19.02.2014 @ 11:02am

Such a memorable occasion calls for some Pliny, right?
