BrewDog has bought more than 2000 acres of farmland north of Loch Lomond where it plans to plant one million trees as the company declared itself double carbon negative.
The Ellon-based brewer revealed the acquisition in its Make Earth Great Again plan to improve the company's environmental performance.
BrewDog said it would be completely transparent about its environmental impact, both positive and negative, from now on.
It said that until it can remove enough of its carbon emissions from the air through its woodland, it will donate an unspecified amount to 'interim removal partners' including the UK's Woodland Trust and Ribble Rivers Trust, and organisations in Australia and Canada, to remove double the amount of CO2 BrewDog emits.
The land BrewDog has bought is currently used for grazing. It says it will dedicate 1500 to native broadleaf trees and the other 550 acres to peatland restoration, which acts as a carbon sink.
The report quotes David Robertson, director of Scottish Woodlands, as saying: "The BrewDog Forest will be one of the largest native woodlands created in the Uk for many years."
BrewDog reported the carbon footprint of its business worldwide as 67,951 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. It already employs measures including capturing CO2 from fermentation and using it to carbonate its beers, recycling brewing waste into dog food and powering production and pubs with wind power.
BrewDog has been helped with its plan by Professor Mike Berners-Lee, its chief scientific advisor and one of the world's most respected experts of carbon footprint calculation.
BrewDog founders James Watt and Martin Dickie stated: "At BrewDog, we thought we were doing our bit for the planet. But after meeting David Attenborough and hearing him deliver a talk on climate change we started doing much more research into the matter.
"Then it hit us, the blindingly stark realisation that we were not doing anything like enough."
They added: "We will share the god and the bad in all its gory details, starting from today in this report."
