BrewDog is no stranger to controversy. The business has built its brand off the back of its punk attitude. It's shown outright hostility to big brewing and bland beers. Its brand has won fans and helped it attract thousands of small shareholders via its Equity for Punks crowdfunding drives. It's also stuck two fingers at the trade and regulators. This has also worked and underpinned BrewDog's phenomenal growth. So what does this week's decision to accept private equity...

It has become a known trend that over the last few years the love for craft beer is rising (almost fivefold in four years from 164,000hl in 2011 to 625,000hl in 2015) and is showing no sign of disappearing anytime soon. And British brewers have proved their significance in this market with an increase in craft value of 76% in 2015.

Take away craft beer growlers are all the rage at the moment and yet another thing imported from our craft beer brewing friends in America. We first introduced growlers in an earlier post about our craft beer trip to Vancouver. Intrigued by the idea of take-out beer we decided to write more on the subject and find out what the potential benefits are to UK brewers. But first lets establish exactly what a growler is? You can look up some definitions...

A recent trip to Vancouver was full of surprises. Great food, lovely people but more importantly amazing craft beer. For a city that’s half the size of Birmingham it’s blessed with 16 craft beer breweries. So when in craft beer heaven it’d be rude not get a taste for the city. Where to start? On a recommendation from a bartender in Gas Town we headed from downtown to East Vancouver AKA brewery central. Our cab pulled up on Commercial...
