PUNK IPA

THE BEER THAT STARTED IT ALL

The myth. The legend. The beer that kick-started a craft beer revolution. Exploding onto the scene in 2008 with punchy new world hops, tropical flavours and a spiky bitter finish, Punk IPA is constantly reinventing itself to stand the test of time and remain a giant among beer.

THE SPIRIT OF 2007

Punk IPA didn’t pull any punches back in 2007. And it’s still a full throttle taste explosion today. A golden classic subverted with new world hops for bursts of caramel, grapefruit, pineapple, lychee and a spiky bitter finish. Reliably chaotic in the best possible way.

THE PUNK IPA ORIGIN STORY

Hear about the beer that started it all, from the person who started it all.

PUNK HIGHLIGHTS

A short history of Europe’s favourite craft beer.

2008: OUR BIG BREAK

We win 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in Tesco’s home brewing competition (sorry to anyone else who took part that year). Punk hits shelves across the land.

2010: RAISING THE BAR

BrewDog bars open their doors. Aberdeen is first, closely followed by Edinburgh and Glasgow. And then we set our sights South.

2016: NUMBER ONE

Punk officially becomes the UK’s best selling craft beer. The people of Britain officially have great taste.

2016: GOING STATESIDE

We become the first UK craft brewers to open a brewery in America. We set up shop in our new home from home, Columbus, Ohio. The weather is much better than Scotland.

2019: MORE PUNKS

The Punk family is growing. Punk AF arrives with a 0.5% alcohol free IPA, and Double Punk goes the other way with an 8.2% hoppy and bitter West Coast IPA. All bases covered.

2022: GOODBYE GLUTEN

We brew a gluten free Punk IPA for the first time, making great craft beer available for even more people. And we make Easy Punk, a lower alcohol brew with only 95 calories.

2025: KEEPING THINGS FRESH

Fresh looking Punk for a fresh new era of BrewDog. We refocus our efforts on beer quality and innovation, and Punk IPA is at the epicentre of our plans. Even better Punk incoming.
