Planned for a 3.25 acre site next to the firm’s existing brewery in Ellon, the 22-room DogHouse Ellon will also have rooms overlooking the brewery itself.

BrewDog threatened to abandon plans to build a £5 million hotel complex last January in a row over the sale of land with Aberdeenshire Council.

The company wanted to buy up almost 12 acres of council-owned land next door to its Ellon distillery for the development of a hotel, restaurant and conference facility.

But the firm claimed the project has stalled as the local authority has refused to sell a parcel of land “at fair market rate”.

An arrangement has now been struck with the firm’s neighbours at Power Jacks to take their 3.25 acre site.

In addition to the new hotel, BrewDog is expanding its brewery to include a new brewhouse and a canning and packaging hall.

DogHouse Ellon is expected to open in the first half of 2019 with 26 rooms, to accompany the new brewery which is expected to open at the end of the year.

BrewDog co-founder James Watt said: “The DogHouse is our gift to passionate craft beer fans making the pilgrimage to our brewery in Aberdeenshire.

“The idea of opening a beer hotel has always been high on our agenda, and now we are finally able to realise that dream, right here at our HQ.

“This will be the ultimate destination for craft beer fans seeking hops with their holidays.

“This is a beer Nirvana.”
