Calling all beer lovers
Beer lovers can soon spend their days surrounded by their
favorite drink as the world’s first craft beer hotel is underway thanks to
independent craft brewer BrewDog.
BrewDog made waves last year when they launched an Indiegogo
campaign to create what they called the “world’s first crowdfunded craft beer
hotel,” announcing plans for a 50-room hotel that would be attached to their
new brewery in Columbus , Ohio
Now, the Scottish beer manufacturer has announced that a
recent acquisition of property in the town of Ellon ,
which is located in Aberdeenshire ,
Scotland
When the 26-room DogHouse hotel opens, guests will have
access to cold brews straight from the comfort of their rooms. Each room will
feature beer taps, and showers will come with built-in fridges so guests don't
ever have to go empty handed, even while bathing.
Besides featuring the top beers from BrewDog, the DogHouse's
beer-centric amenities will include craft beers from some of the brewery’s
favorite companies to give customers a wide variety to choose from.
The hotel, which will be located at the brewery’s
headquarters, will have rooms that overlook the brewery to give guests a
behind-the-scenes look at how brewers work.
The company was able to fund the new property through the
use of their Equity for Punks crowdfunding initiative, opening up shares to
anyone in the public looking to become a co-owner.
BrewDog had recently launched its fifth round of Equity for
Punks with an intended goal of at least $14 million, but was able to surpass
the goal ahead of the January deadline, giving them enough funding to open the
new property in Scotland .
The company also has plans to expand its main brewery and
just opened a new sour beer brewing facility called The Overworks last month.
BrewDog is still planning to open its Ohio property, which will also feature beer
taps, shower fridges, and even suites that come with beer-filled hot tubs, in
the second half of 2019.
