Craft beer brewer BrewDog has already announced it's opening a bespoke beer hotel in Aberdeenshire which will have beer taps in guest rooms.
Now, it has revealed that it's launching the world’s first-ever craft beer airline with the inaugural flight taking off in February next year.
The flight, which will be on board a bespoke BrewDog-branded Boeing 767, will fly from London Stansted to Columbus, Ohio – where the BrewDog brewery is based - on February 21, 2019.
On board, passengers can expect beer tastings with a new beer designed to taste better at high altitude, beer cocktails, food and beer pairings and flight care packages with branded eye masks and blankets.
Once passengers land in Ohio, they can expect a tour of Columbus, a tour of the brewery and a day trip to Cincinnati to tour breweries there before flying back to London on February 25.
There is a catch. To join the flight you need to be an ‘Equity Punk’ one of BrewDogs many investors (the company requires a minimum investment of $50 in return for a share in the company) and this application period has now closed for UK residents. But, if you’re not one of their investors, you can watch BrewDog’s social media channels for a chance to win tickets on the flight. The Facebook and Instagram pages currently have a post saying to tag a friend you’d take with you for a chance to win tickets.
Those who are an ‘Equity Punk’ will be able to apply for a seat on the flight, which will include accommodation at a downtown Columbus hotel and all excursions for £1,250 per person or £2,250 for two people sharing a room. You can apply here.
