Doug got nearly 40 minutes with Jason Block the CEO of Brewdog USA!

You'll hear about Brewdog Las Vegas, loads of new bars, a new "beverage" that's coming, a new collaboration (along the lines of Lamb Of God) the latest on the new distillery, and, as you would expect a ton more!

Lots and lots packed into this show. We look at Brewdog's biggest ever giveaway and how it brought around 4 hour "queue" to even visit the website.

Tori Powell joins us for the first time to talk about AF Beers (including the one that drenched her when she opening it!)

We also look critically at James Watts suggestions of using the Brewdog Bars as vaccination centers. Was it all just marketing BS?

There's loads more too.

A fresh look to the Podcast now we're into our fifties! Let us know if you like/hate it.

Two months of news to catch you up on in this show:

We look at the recent problems with deliveries from the online store - have DPD drivers really been opening Punk IPA 12 packs? EFP Australia just launched! Jo plugs the **** out of her beer course(s) and we ask Doug if he's ever heard of Chewits!

We've shortened the show slightly but we keeping the listener favourites (including Jo's rubbish joke!)

In this bonus episode the Brewdog News team take up James Watt's kind offer take an early look at the impressive new 'eco companion' which is Pawprint.

Pawprint have a range of tools to helps you measure, understand and reduce your carbon footprint from the palm of your hand.

Massive thank you to Christian Arno and Mark McCafferty for taking personal time out to spend with us on a rainy Tuesday evening.

Rob & Tamsyn squeeze in as many questions as possible into a rare 30 minutes with James Watt.

We get a sneak preview of 3 new products coming in 2021, we ask about how the business is coping and hear about the water issue at the Ellon Brewery.

There's a new loyalty scheme called Planet Brewdog on the way, a new top-secret but very big Brewdog community project on the way. James was desperate to tell us about it but we have to wait until Jan.

We also hear about the recently director level changes, what's happening with Brewdog Millionaire, the reduced EFP discount and the impact on EFPs feelings towards Brewdog just now.

Thanks to James for giving up his time for this and being so honest with his answers.

While sales of kegs to local bars might be down, all other areas of the Brewdog USA Business is doing well. In no small part that's thanks to Jason Block and his amazing (and relatively) small team based in Ohio and the USA bars.

Here's a question, how do you make 500 cuts rum, when some of the ingredients aren't even allowed in the USA? On this podcast our awesome US correspondent Doug Johnson catches up with Jason to find out.

You'll hear about the progress on the Cleveland Bar (spoiler - it's closer than you think!), the latest distribution plans, the distilling plans, sustainability changes, brexit, AF beer on Amazon, seltzer news... and the list goes on.

It's only 25 mins long, but Doug and Jason pack in heaps!

Yup - it's full strength podcastainment (is that a word?) from the team! As we continue to prepare for episode 50, we've heaps to update you on this episode. Over 23 stories at last count!
