Brew Dog Gets New Fermentation Tanks & £550k Government Grant

Here’s a quick pic of the new fermentation tanks being added to the new BrewDog facility this morning.  Word is also coming from the scotsman.com that BrewDog received a £550k Government Grant.

Aberdeenshire-based firm BrewDog is to receive £551,000 from the Scottish Government as part of the latest round of food and drink funding.

The cash will assist the company – which came under fire after it launched a limited-run 55 per cent volume beer called “The End of History” inside dead stuffed animals – to set up a new brewery in Ellon.

BrewDog has repeatedly courted controversy with its strong beers and has previously been criticised for its “hugely irresponsible” range. But the firm said that as well as creating 20 new jobs, the funds will help them produce a non-alcoholic malt-based range of soft drinks.

Alcohol campaigners cautiously welcomed the potential new products and said the cost of the firm’s high-proof beers meant it was not the chief cause of Scotland’s drink problems, despite criticism of past marketing campaigns.
