Scottish brewer BrewDog has opened its American hotel, The DogHouse, at the site of its brewery in Columbus, Ohio.
Guests will be able to watch the brewers at work from rooms overlooking the state-of-the-art brewing facility. The 32-room DogHouse features beer taps in each room and a built-in shower beer fridge.
In addition, BrewDog USA has also unveiled its on-site, interactive beer museum. This 6,000 square feet space provides a journey through the brewing process, a deep dive into the history of craft beer, and a hands-on experience of ‘the fundamental four’ ingredients that contribute to the creation of a craft beer.
BrewDog says The DogHouse is an immersive craft beer experience with next-generation hotel features that begin at the door. The front desk has been replaced by a lobby bartender, who will check guests in while they enjoy a complimentary beer.
The hotel features 32 guest rooms, including a 645-square-foot Brewmaster suite and a 460-square-foot Punk suite. Located next to the main lobby, four of the rooms are dog-friendly with easy access to the hotel’s dog park.

The DogHouse also boasts common areas for guests to relax in, including the hotel media room where beer fans can watch the Scottish brewer’s TV show, Brew Dogs, and enjoy a game of ping (or beer) pong, or savour the sites of the brewery from the extensive front patio.
In addition to the hotel, BrewDog is expanding its brewery to include a state-of-the-art sour beer facility, set to open in late 2018. This will allow guests to wake up to a view of BrewDog’s sour beer foeders and the smell of freshly mashed malt.
BrewDog’s USA chief executive, Tanisha Robinson, said: “The DogHouse is truly a hotel like no other. With the help of our passionate community, we have created a must-visit destination for craft beer fans around the world.
“We never shy away from ambitious tasks at BrewDog, and the creation of the DogHouse is no exception. We have pushed the boundaries of what modern hospitality can be, and in doing so have created an unrivalled beery experience.
“We hope this inspires brewers and hoteliers to continue innovating and expanding the possibilities of what can be done with beer.”
