BrewDog's phenomenal growth has been fuelled by its record-breaking Equity for Punks crowdfunding initiative, which has seen the brewery raise more than $137 million by selling shares to more than 123,000 beer enthusiasts around the world.
BrewDog has never been far from controversy, creating outrageous beers such as The End Of History, which at the time the world's strongest and most expensive beer.
Just 12 bottles of it were released, packaged inside taxidermied animals.
And in 2017, the company received a 213 million pound investment from American private equity firm TSG Consumer Partners, in a deal valuing it at one billion pounds.
I was invited up to Brisbane by Brewdog to check out their impressive new DogTap bar and brewery in planning, where I sat down with Martin to record this interview.
