The BrewDog Bad Beer Vodka is a new spirit created by the brand as a way to upcycle bad batches of beer and create a flavorful vodka for consumers to enjoy in their favorite recipes. The spirit starts off with beer batches that don't meet the quality standards, which are then transported to the brand's new distillery where it's processed into vodka. The spirit comes in three flavors including Original, Tropical Guava and Vanilla Toasted Marshmallow, which are all packaged in recycled glass bottles and feature wood pulp labels.
CEO James Watt spoke on the BrewDog Bad Beer Vodka saying, "This is a hugely exciting launch for BrewDog and BrewDog Distilling Co, highlighting both businesses’ commitment to the environment. We are looking forward to continuing our research into new ways to prevent wastage in our industry."
