Jun 13, 2022
BrewDog and Australian Venue Co (AVC) have announced a new franchise deal with AVC opening multiple BrewDog bars in the coming years across several cities including Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The partnership will start this year with the first BrewDog and AVC bar to be opened within the iconic Pentridge Prison in Melbourne.
Located within the historic E Division building, BrewDog Pentridge is set to become a go-to destination in Melbourne for craft beer lovers. The restored interiors offer a nod to the history of the iconic site, while the beer garden offers a modern and casual experience. Set to open this Spring, BrewDog Pentridge will feature an indoor dining room and lounge on the ground floor, event spaces on level 1 and a large outdoor beer garden with BrewDog container bar, bookable spaces and games area.
BrewDog co-founder Martin Dickie said: “Australia is one of the most exciting and dynamic craft beer countries in the world. Since opening our taproom and brewery in Brisbane, we’ve been blown away by the support we’ve received from the local community. We’re delighted to be working with AVC, Australia’s leading pub and bar operator, to open multiple BrewDog bars in Australia. These beacons of beer will be a true showcase of our brand, with a focus on high-quality beer, fantastic food experiences and exceptional service. We can’t wait for this project to get underway with BrewDog Pentridge!”
Paul Waterson, CEO of AVC, underlined: "We’re thrilled to be partnering with BrewDog, we really admire the globally-recognised brand and business they’ve built. It’s a great fit for us because we’re experts at delivering exceptional customer experiences at scale, and championing great food & beer in a casual, large format operation. This partnership is a gamechanger for the Australian hospitality industry and is an exciting new growth model for AVC.”
Following a difficult 2 years for the hospitality industry, this new partnership bringing Australia’s leading pub operator and the world’s largest craft beer operator for expansion in Australia together is just what we need.
