A brew<br />
to save<br />
the crew<br />
Scottish craft beer powerhouse BrewDog is<br />
quickly integrating itself into the community<br />
of Columbus, Ohio – the location of its new<br />
$30million brewery – by creating a special new<br />
brew to raise funds for the local football club.<br />
Major League Soccer outfit Columbus Crew has<br />
fallen on hard times and is crowdfunding to try<br />
and ensure its future participation in the United<br />
States’ premiere football competition. BrewDog<br />
has decided to step in and do its bit for its new<br />
local area by brewing a limited 4.4% golden ale<br />
called Crew Brew – all of the profits of which will<br />
be donated to the Save the Crew campaign.<br />
A statement on the BrewDog website explained:<br />
“At BrewDog, we are world leading pioneers<br />
and experts in crowd-funding and community<br />
ownership. Indeed our own business is part<br />
owned by a community of over 60,000 craft beer<br />
lovers and we have raised over $60million through<br />
crowdfunding over the last few years. We would<br />
love to facilitate and be involved in a potential<br />
purchase of the Columbus Crew from it’s current<br />
ownership structure and then immediately look<br />
to sell at least half of it back to the fans through<br />
crowdfunding.<br />
“We passionately believe the best people to<br />
own things are the ones who care the most about<br />
them.”
