BrewDog Offers its Closed Outlets to Government During the Pandemic

Popular Scottish craft beer brewer, BrewDog, has really stepped out of the box during the pandemic and has gotten resourceful in offering its closed outlets across the UK to the government to use as COVID-19 vaccination centres.

“We would like to offer our closed @BrewDog venues to help with a quick roll out of the vaccine. For free,” said co-founder and CEO of BrewDog James Watt. “We have waiting areas, huge refrigerators, seperate rooms for vaccinations and an ace team who can help organise.”

Those who get vaccinated won’t walk away empty handed and could walk away with a ‘special commemorative beer’.

BrewDog has over 50 locations in the UK which are currently under coronavirus lockdown rules that have closed non-essential businesses. The ongoing lockdown is expected to last until at least March as rates continue to soar and a new strain-variant was introduced back in December.

As talks between BrewDog, their offer and the government continue throughout the pandemic, other bars and pubs across the country have said they would also be willing to open up their spaces for vaccinations. Like many breweries and distilleries who had to adjust to dwindling and expired products early on in the pandemic, BrewDog switched up its production lines to create 500,000 bottles of hand sanitiser and said that they’ve been making it ever since.
