BrewDog launches largest stand-alone bar with world’s first dog-designed beer

Chef's Office, Create, Inspire, Connect

Independent craft brewery, BrewDog, is putting out a call for dogs and their owners to help brew the inaugural beer at its first ever BrewPub in London’s Tower Hill.

BrewDog Tower Hill will be the Aberdeenshire brewery’s largest stand-alone bar site, and features a 10hl brewing kit, making it the only place in the UK outside its headquarters in Ellon, Scotland to be making BrewDog beers.

Beer loving dog owners can bring their pups to the bar at The Minster Building, Great Tower Hill Street in EC3 from 12 noon on Saturday 12 May, where their dogs can take part in choosing the ingredients of the beer.

In a world-first, BrewDog will be opening up its recipe design process to man’s best friend, as BrewDog Tower Hill invites the capital’s four-legged friends to choose from three options of hops, malts and a special twist. Whichever options the dogs approach and inspect most frequently will be selected for the final brew.

Dogs are renowned for their superior sense of smell, and it is hoped that their exemplary olfactory abilities will enable them to make an extra-special set of selections for BrewDog’s first BrewPub. The owners of participating dogs will then be invited to assist the BrewDog brewers in making the beer on Thursday 17 May.

Located in a neo-Gothic Minster building just a stone’s throw from the Tower of London, at 8500 square feet, BrewDog Tower Hill has a capacity for over 500 people.

The bar features 25 beers on tap, three deli fridges for takeaway beers, an automated growler filling system, an arcade games area with three shuffleboards and an extensive outdoor seating area. Exclusive beers brewed in the 10hl brewing kit will permanently be on offer at the bar and will also be distributed across BrewDog’s eight-strong network of bars in London.

Tower Hill will also be the first BrewDog bar to serve a breakfast and brunch daily in addition to its renowned pizza, burgers and wings menu.

Tower Hill is the second BrewDog site to open in London this year following BrewDog Seven Dials, near Covent Garden, in March. Further openings set for the capital include sites in Angel and Brixton.

BrewDog’s cofounder James Watt said, “This iconic area of London needed a suitable statement of a BrewDog bar to match. The brewpub will not only serve the freshest BrewDog beer in London, but will allow our brewers to get creative and experimental with small batch beers. This is the first of many BrewDog brewpubs and a vote of confidence for London’s position as one of the craft beer capitals of the world.”
