Brewdog
BrewDog is one of Europe's largest craft breweries, with a long history of edgy, bold marketing centered on its punk culture. The brewery's accomplishments to far are astounding, given that it only opened in 2007. Many of you may recognize the two founders, James Watt and Martin Dickie, from the Esquire Network's BrewDogs series.
BrewDog now has breweries in Scotland and the United States, as well as a new $30 million facility in Brisbane, Australia. The firm also owns a number of pubs across the world, including dozens in the United Kingdom.
The firm has been voted the UK's fastest growing food and beverage company for numerous years in a row, and its crowd-funding initiative, Equity for Punks, has gained a massive global following. While the firm remains "craft," TSG Consumer Partners purchased a 22 percent ownership in the company in 2017, allowing for potential expansion.
The Punk IPA, a magnificent brew overflowing with C-hop flavors, is the company's flagship and global best-seller. For a unique take on the classic red, try the 5 AM Red Ale.
