Brewdog Officially Breaks Down On New Digs [Pics]
Thanks to Brewdog’s Equity For Punks program, the brewery has broken ground on their new brewery. The new site is at the 3.6 acre site at Balmacassie purchased by BrewDog last year. Only one of these acres will be developed for now leaving lots of room for future expansion when needed. There will be 25 new jobs created immediately with the new location, but eventually 50+ more will be added over the next five years. Also, the deal for the new brewhouse has been finalized as well. The German company Rolec (who also did work for Stone, Lagunitas, Brooklyn, and more) has been selected.

BrewDog New Brewery Begins Construction This Month
With the help of Equity for Punks BrewDog has selected a winning bid, Mansell, who will begin construction on the new brewery on Monday, February 27th. Mansell has given early July as an estimated completion time for the new building. This means equipment will be installed in August, commissioning in September, and brewing by October or November.
