BrewDog Inverurie Reopens with New Community Champions Model
Opening set for Saturday 27th June, featuring live music, entertainment and a sample pint on the house for the first 100 guests1
New Community Champions model will support local initiatives, events, fundraising, partnerships and wider community engagement
ELLON, Scotland, June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scottish craft brewer BrewDog, by Tilray Brands, Inc., will reopen BrewDog Inverurie on Saturday 27th June as a community-first venue with a new Community Champions model designed to support local events, initiatives, fundraising and partnerships.
Located at 16 Market Place, BrewDog Inverurie has been reimagined to give local residents and community groups a formal voice in the bar’s local programming and community activity. Local businesses and community leaders have been invited to a ribbon-cutting ceremony from 6.30pm on Friday 26th June to mark the reopening.
BrewDog will continue to own and operate the bar day to day, while the new Community Champions model will bring together local residents, OG Punks and local organisations to help shape events, programming and opportunities for the venue to support community initiatives. BrewDog plans to pilot the model at Inverurie before exploring its potential across other UK bars.
The Community Champions model will initially operate on a trial basis for up to one year from reopening, helping BrewDog learn the right long-term balance between BrewDog-led operations and community-led engagement. The reopening builds on strong local support for the bar. Inverurie residents submitted a formal proposal to BrewDog outlining what the venue means to the community and how it could play a renewed role locally. Inverurie has long been one of BrewDog’s most engaged communities in the UK.
The public reopening celebration will begin at midday on Saturday 27th June and continue throughout the day, with live music and entertainment. The first 100 guests through the door will receive a sample pint of a BrewDog headliner beer or new release on the house, available on a first come, first served basis.
Lauren Carrol, Chief Commercial Officer, BrewDog, said: "Inverurie did something remarkable: the community came to us. Local residents put together a proposal and showed us what this bar means to them, so we listened and put a plan in place to reopen. The people of Inverurie have always been a special part of BrewDog’s story, and it is only right that they now have a voice in shaping what happens inside their local bar. This is the beginning of a model we hope to grow."
The reopening comes as BrewDog continues to refresh its UK bars experience. The company recently announced the UK launch of 24 Tilray-owned American craft beers, bringing a wider range of well-known US craft beer brands to BrewDog bars. BrewDog has also rolled out a new food and drink menu, including new signature burgers, an expanded plant-based range, upgraded sides, a refreshed Melts & Subs selection and a new spirits line-up.
