  • To celebrate the introduction of new, future-proofed currency acceptance, BrewDog will gift the first 100 people through the bar’s doors with a BitCoin Cash wallet pre-loaded with a cryptocurrency valuation of anything from £12 to £100 on its public opening at 12pm on Friday 19th October.
  • In addition to this, any purchase of beer between Friday and Sunday 21st October will be entered into a raffle with a chance of winning a wallet containing Bitcoin Cash to the value of £500.
  • Craft beer fans can claim their cryptocurrency by downloading the Centbee wallet app at https://www.centbee.com/.

James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog, said:

“Our Canary Wharf bar further strengthens London’s claim to be the new craft beer capital of the world. The demand for better beer keeps growing every month and it reaches every community in the city. As more Londoners join the craft beer revolution, we’re more than happy to keep opening more bars and quenching their thirst with flavour-packed brews.

 

We’ve always prided ourselves on our desire to keep innovating. We’ve done it with beer, we’ve done it with our business model, and now we are championing a new way of paying for a pint. Our BrewDog Canary Wharf bar is the bellwether of a payment revolution.“
