BrewDog to open in Exeter as it continues expansion into South West

Scottish craft beer company applies for Exeter bar just a month after announcing move into Plymouth

BrewDog's Pink IPA beverage

Scottish craft brewery and bar chain BrewDog is to open in Exeter – its second newly announced move into Devon.

The company, famous for its Punk IPA brand, has applied to move into an empty unit in Exeter’s Queen Street Dining. The space, part of the Guildhall Shopping Centre, has been vacant since .

BrewDog had hinted at its interest in an Exeter location as part of its “Great BrewDog Hunt 2019” and it put out an appeal to the people of Exeter to help them find the perfect location for their bar and even offered a finders' fee of £5,000 for a bar or £10,000 for an “outpost”.

The announcement comes just a month after BrewDog said it would open in Plymouth’s £53million The Barcode city centre leisure complex.

The company will fill a 4,000sq ft unit at the complex, next to Drake Circus Shopping Centre, which is anchored by a multi-screen Cineworld cinema, though it is now closing temporarily.

A spokesperson for The Barcode said: “We don’t have an exact date for the opening but are anticipating this will be before Christmas. They are going to be taking the unit located between Zizzi and Cineworld on Level 0 of The Barcode.”

The move into Plymouth and Exeter brings BrewDog to the far South West. Previously it had nothing past Bristol.

Independent craft brewer BrewDog was founded in 2007 with the aim to revolutionise the beer industry and redefine British beer-drinking culture and was recently named the fastest growing food and drinks company in the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ.
