BrewDog launches Edinburgh flight for US Equity Punks

BrewDog is to launch its first a flight bringing US customers to Edinburgh.

The craft brewer made its maiden flight this year under the BrewDog Airlines banner taking 200 Equity Punks from London to Columbus, Ohio, home its hotel The DogHouse.

Now they have organised two more five-night round trips - from Columbus to Edinburgh and London October 31.

Here's what happened when BrewDog put 200 equity punks on a flight to America and served them special high-altitude beer  

Tickets are exclusively available to the brewer's small investors, 13,760 of whom are in the US.

Cabin crew will serve samples of craft beer, including Flight Club, which has been formulated to combat the effects of high altitude on beer. Guests will also receive inflight care packages, including BrewDog eye masks and blankets.

BrewDog co-founder James Watt said: “We’re taking craft beer to new heights – literally – with BrewDog Airlines. Our first flight was an amazing success, and we received an outcry of interest in a flight departing from the States to visit our homeland in Scotland.

Scots make up five of top 50 fastest growing independent food and drink firms  

"What better way to say ‘Thank You’ to our awesome Equity Punk community than with a beer experience like no other. At BrewDog, we’re on a mission to make people as passionate about great craft beer as we are, exciting them about what craft beer is and can be. Through BrewDog Airlines, we’re doing just that.”

A new round of Equity for Punks crowdfunding is scheduled to close on 5th July.
