BrewDog plans to open pub chain

Dec 27 2009

The Scottish brewery behind the world's strongest beer is planning to open a chain of pubs by the end of next year (2010), its owners said.

BrewDog partners James Watt and Martin Dickie, both aged 27, want to build on rapid growth at their Aberdeenshire business and continue to "tackle" a culture of mass-produced cheap drinks.

The firm recently unveiled its 32% beer, Tactical Nuclear Penguin, drawing criticism from industry watchdog the Portman Group.
