BrewDog to open ninth London bar tomorrow


Independent craft brewer, BrewDog is continuing its craft beer crusade in the capital with the launch of its ninth London bar, located on Essex Road in Angel, Islington.

BrewDog Angel is the third BrewDog site to open in the capital this year following the Seven Dials and Tower Hill bar openings in March and May.

The bar will be the Scottish brewer’s fifth opening of 2018, bringing its total number of bars to 36 in the UK and 54 worldwide, as well as its first ever site to offer beer fans the chance to brew their own beer.

Located on Essex Road, Islington, N1 2SA, BrewDog Angel will feature 14 taps and an impressive four 20L homebrew kits, as well as a deli fridge stocked with a wide range of beers to enjoy drinking in or takeaway.

The Essex Road site has capacity for 100 beer fans, serving the world’s best beers alongside a perfectly-paired pizza menu. The bar will also feature a heated outdoor seating area.

Last month, BrewDog furthered its craft beer revolution with the launch of its first ever BrewPub in London’s Tower Hill.

At 8,500 square feet, BrewDog Tower Hill stands as the Scottish brewery’s largest stand-alone bar site complete with 10HL brewing kit, making it the only place in the UK outside its headquarters in Ellon, Scotland, to be making BrewDog beers.

Exclusive beers brewed in the 10HL brewing kit are permanently on offer at the bar, as well as distributed across BrewDog’s network of bars in London.

Tower Hill was also the first BrewDog bar to serve breakfast and brunch dishes daily in addition to its renowned pizza, burger and wing menu.

James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog, said, “London has established itself as a hub for passionate, innovative and experimental craft brewers and we’re proud to be able to stand by their side in the crusade for awesome craft beer.

'Collaborating and connecting with like-minded people is what fuels us, so we’re thrilled to be able to welcome more zeal, brilliance and love for craft beer into the fold with the awesome homebrew kits in our ninth London bar. The more people we can introduce to the world of beer and brewing, the better our community will be.”
