Known simply as BrewDog Airlines, this first-of-its-kind craft beer airline promises to be the ultimate beer-focused flying experience. Taking flight in February 2019, BrewDog Airlines will feature a round-trip between London and Columbus, the home of the brewery's US HQ and its craft beer hotel. Passengers onboard the flight will get to participate in a unique beer tasting experience that features limited-edition BrewDog beer brewed to adapt to the reduction of taste and smell sensitivity at high altitudes.
According to James Watt, co-founder of BrewDog, "We took craft beer to the depths of the seas when we brewed an IPA at the bottom of the North Sea. Now, we’re turning to the skies aboard BrewDog Airlines." The entire flight experience is geared towards beer enjoyment -- from the food, entertainment and even the cabin crew.
