BrewDog Ltd.
BrewDog is the brainchild of
youth entrepreneurs James Watt and Martin Dickie. The two piled their life
savings into the venture and have started off with a bang winning a number
of accolades.
Brewing commenced at the site in an industrial park in Fraserburgh in April of 2007. The brewplant is ten barrels and beer is brewed in 1600 liter batches. It is fermented in stainless conical fermenters imported from Italy. All bottled beer is doubly filtered and force carbonated prior to bottling.
