When Scottish brewmasters James Watt and Martin Dickie decided to expand their unconventional craft beer business to America, they searched for a location that could deliver the same ingredients they used back home to turn BrewDog into one of the hottest brands in the UK.
They needed to find a place that offered logistical advantages, proximity to markets of craft beer lovers, a skilled and experienced workforce, and access to capital from the public sector and private investors.
