Our Beers

Punk IPA was born in 2007 and kick-started a craft beer revolution. Since then, we've gone on to brew hundreds of different beers. From session-strength pale ales and lagers to epic imperial stouts and sours, the BrewDog range has something for everyone.

Our History

It's been one hell of a ride since we started brewing in co-founder Martin's mum's garage back in 2006. We now have 4 breweries and over 100 bars worldwide. And we're just getting started.

Brewing Process

Our state-of-the-art Aberdeenshire brewery is a kingdom of steel and dreams. We have 3 brewing sites and a pilot kit for innovation. We also use windpower to make our beer, as well as utilising brewing by-products (like CO2, water and biomethane) to help power beer making.

Craft Beer Explained

Every country where beer is popular, there will be dozens if not hundreds of small brewers – from individuals in garages to microbreweries – doing something different. They’ll work on small batches to create novel beers in all manner of flavours, strengths and colours, from a diverse collection of ingredients.

Beer Ingredients

It only takes 4 ingredients to brew beer, but what we do with those ingredients is what makes it special. The finest malted barley, high-quality hops from around the world, purified Scottish spring water and our own house yeast strains come together in harmony to create beer for all.

What are hops?

"The hop and the grape" is a phrase which describes the two main families of fermented alcoholic drinks, beer and wine. Just as wine has dozens of varieties of grapes, so beer has a wealth of hop varieties to choose from.

Beer Strength

From alcohol-free lagers to imperial stouts, beer is not defined by its ABV. Each style has a typical alcohol content, but we also like to push the boundaries so expect the unexpected.

HOW IS ALCOHOL-FREE BEER MADE?

Alcohol-free beer, also known as low-alcohol beer, is meant to have the same taste as a regular beer without high alcohol content. It can contain anything from zero to 0.5% ABV (alcohol by volume), and in most instances, it will be a lager, but it can also be an ale and even an IPA.
