BrewDog is betting big on content. The Scottish craft beer company has announced its intent to launch a subscription video on demand service –The BrewDog Network – that will feature a slew of beer and culinary-themed shows, game shows and documentaries.
The company is looking to tap into the US market with the push, at a cost of $4.99 per month for consumers. Company founders Martin Dickie and James Watt said they will cherry-pick the shows on the service.
