BrewDog, founded by James Watt and Martin Dickie, is one of Europe's largest craft breweries, with a history of bold and daring marketing, surrounded by its punk spirit. Having only started in 2007, the brewery's achievements so far are more than impressive. Today, BrewDog has breweries in Scotland and the United States, and plans to open another in Brisbane, Australia. The company also owns bars around the world and has recently created a chain of brewpubs called DogHouse, currently with one in Columbus, Ohio, and another in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The company's biggest seller is undoubtedly its Punk IPA.
BrewDog has been named the fastest growing food and beverage company in the UK for several years running, and has amassed a large global following through its crowd funding movement, Equity for Punks. While the company remains "craft", 2017 saw TSG Consumer Partners acquire a 22% stake in the company to enable further growth.
