BrewDog launches distribution division

Scottish craft brewer BrewDog is continuing its expansion with the launch of an import and export division, with an exclusive supply deal with US craft brewer Stone Brewing Co.

Its new division will supply the UK with beers from an international brewery network, starting with the San Diego-based Stone Brewing Co.

James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog, said: “We are already in talks with lots more awesome breweries from around the world, and have big plans to set up a global distribution network, supplying the UK with the best craft beers on the planet. We already source the most exciting craft beers for our own bars, and this new distribution division is the opportunity to take that to the next level.”

From today, Stone Brewing Co’s entire product range will be available in the UK with its limited special release beers will also set to be made available throughout the year.

James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog said: “We have always been huge fans of Stone Brewing Co. and have been lucky enough to make some epic collaboration beers with them. They have always been an inspiration to us, having been frontline ambassadors of the craft beer revolution in the USA for almost 20 years. This partnership is a natural extension of the passion we share for getting people excited about craft beer and shaking up the status quo. With this new deal, the flourishing UK craft beer scene just got even more exciting.”

BrewDog is currently in discussions with several craft breweries in Europe and USA and will be announcing further import and distribution deals throughout 2015.
