If you’re a fan of craft ale, you’ll have heard of BrewDog. In just 10 years, they’ve gone from selling hand bottled craft ale from a market stall to selling over 80 different beers to ale lovers around the world. The boundary pushing style of co-founders James Watt and Martin Dickie ensures BrewDog is never far from the headlines. Some more memorable projects have included: the world’s largest crowd funding scheme, Equity for Punks; ‘Sunk Punk’, an IPA brewed on the floor of the North Sea; and the infamous freeze distilled ale ‘The End of History’, weighing in at 55% vol and presented in bottles clad in taxidermy road kill. Santa Paws, on the other hand, is malty, complex and a far more sensible 4.5%, and comes in a normal 33cl bottle.
