Wed 10th Jun 2015 - BrewDog reveals full details of US brewery plan: BrewDog reveals full details of US brewery plan: Scottish craft brewery BrewDog, has provisionally agreed a deal to build a new 100,000 sq ft state-of-the-art craft brewery on a new site in Columbus, Ohio. In addition to the 100-barrel brew house, the 42 acres of land will house BrewDog’s US offices, a visitor centre, a craft beer restaurant and a taproom, accessible by road and cycle path. Once opened, BrewDog will be brewing its full line-up of beers such as Punk IPA, Dead Pony Club and Jackhammer, as well as small batch special brews unique to the US brewery. The company stated: “By brewing within the United States, BrewDog will be able to deliver the freshest craft beer to its American beer fans as well as minimising its overall environmental impact. BrewDog plans to employ over 100 people at the new location, as well as sending brand ambassadors from its Scottish brewery for secondments at the new site. In addition to the new US brewery, BrewDog is planning to launch five flagship bars in the country’s craft beer hubs such as the West Coast, the North East and Florida. BrewDog will help fund its Columbus project through Equity for Punks USA, an American crowdfunding scheme which will launch later this year and give American beer fans the opportunity to invest in BrewDog USA Inc. Further details on the share offering will be announced in the coming months.” BrewDog’s international expansion is a core focus for the brewery this year. Last week it announced the appointment of Andrew Hatherell, as its first head of international sales. James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog commented: “Since the dark days of prohibition, America’s epic brewers have led the craft beer charge and inspired a generation of UK craft brewers, not least ourselves. We are thrilled to finally be setting up a BrewDog home in the Land of the Free, and become part of this craft beer epicentre. Columbus has got a fantastic beer scene already, and the people have always been so welcoming to us, so we felt it would be the perfect location for our stateside operation. This is one of the most exciting projects we have ever embarked upon and we can’t wait to start brewing hardcore beer on both sides of the Atlantic.”
