Shaw has previously held senior roles at Red Bull and the role of CEO Beer was formed in order to provide additional senior strategic leadership as Brewdog enters a period of accelerated growth domestically and internationally.

In August, the brewery announced its half-year trading results, showing total revenue at £78m, up by 55% versus the same time the previous year. Revenue of the brewery’s bar division was also up by 92% and its UK retail sales had grown by 83%, compared with 2017 half-year results.

Brewdog co-founder James Watt said: "Andy’s impressive track record for championing a strategic, global vision is what makes him such an exciting addition to the Brewdog crew.”

Shaw added: "Brewdog’s feats over the last decade are a direct result of a culture of innovation and fearlessness. When many in the industry doubted and scoffed, James and Martin remained clear-eyed and determined to change the world of beer for the better.”
