BREWDOG is expanding its global presence with the launch of its first Icelandic bar.
The independent Scottish brewer is opening a bar in the country’s capital of Reykjavik.
The bar will boast 20 draft lines pouring BrewDog favourites and a wide range of craft beer from around the world. In celebration of the opening, BrewDog will enter the first 100 beer-loving locals through the bar’s doors into a raffle at its public opening at 12pm today.
James Watt of BrewDog said: “Reykjavik has long been in our sights as it continues to grow into a hub for kickass, exciting craft beer. We couldn’t be happier to finally provide an Icelandic outpost for the craft beer community to enjoy flavourful, bold beer, and help accelerate the city’s craft beer scene.
"Our mission is to make other people as passionate about craft beer as we are the world over and we hope that opening the doors to this latest bar inspires a new generation of beer evangelists.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
