- BrewDog’s UK sales were up 93% at the end of September 2017 and its flagship beer Punk IPA – which grew at 102.4% in on-trade – has been the best-selling craft beer in the UK off-trade for the last three years.
- BrewDog’s exceptional year mirrors the current upward trend in craft beer sales in the UK which were reportedly worth £814 million in the 12 months to September, an increase of 10% on the previous year.
- In the last 12 months, the Aberdeenshire brewery has shipped the equivalent of 65 million bottles of craft beer, launched its American brewery in Columbus, Ohio and opened the doors to 4 bars in the UK and overseas, bringing the tally of BrewDog bars to 47 worldwide.
- In August this year, BrewDog also announced that it would be giving away 20% of its future profits as part of its Unicorn Fund. 10% of profits will be distributed equally to all staff, with a further 10% being donated to charitable causes.
- Last month, BrewDog launched the fifth round of Equity for Punks, its record-breaking equity crowdfunding scheme. The brewery is looking to raise up £50 million to further its global expansion.
- This includes the construction of new breweries in Australia and China, the opening of 15 craft beer bars in the UK, increasing the production capacity in its UK brewery and the creation of a dedicated craft beer TV network.

Our success so far demonstrates that the craft beer revolution is far from over, and as we gear up for 2018, we’re ready to take it up a notch and bring more passionate people into the BrewDog family.”
